Turkey is worried about slow economic growth which is accompaniesd
by bloodshed in the Near East with Turkey's involvement.
Last week the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced during
his meeting with Francois Hollande of France that no-fly zone should
be created in Syria only. The West insists that Turkey be a no-fly
zone. The United States and Europe are boosting pressure on Ankara
which has already approved the passage of Iraqi Kurds to the Syrian
town of Kobane via its territories. It is not ruled out that one day
Turkey will get involved in a big conflict.
The agenda of the Erdogan-Hollande meeting was symptomatic: Syria,
Karabakh, Armenian-Turkish relations. Does this mean that Turkey
perceives all these issues as challenges to its own security which,
furthermore, are equal in value? France and the West are already
considering these problems in a large context.
France is preparing a new draft law on criminalization of denial
of the Armenian genocide. Besides, the representatives of the
Armenian community of France have announced that the application to
the International Court claiming compensation from Turkey for the
genocide is almost ready.
Erdogan has announced that he has stretched out a hand of friendship
to Armenia whereas Armenia and the Diaspora were not thoughtful. He
held out hope that the Armenian issue will stop being instrumental.
Hollande, however, has apparently told him that it is too late to
speak about it.
The recent developments relating to the Karabakh issue are also
interesting. Over the past month the German foreign minister and the
UK minister of state for Europe visited Armenia and discussed the
ways of settlement of the Karabakh conflict. There are signs that
the Karabakh settlement as an element of new regional balance, may
soon be actualized in some way. In addition, it will not be done by
the traditional framework of seeking resolution based on compromise
between Armenia and Azerbaijan mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairs. The point is the "natural" settlement of the Karabakh issue
in the context of improvement of relations between the West and Iran,
as well as involvement of Turkey in a war.
Azerbaijan is worried about this as well. The international
financial organizations forecast lower economic growth, corporations
are cutting oil production, and now Baku is worried about looming
economic problems.
However, economy is not the only problem. CoE Secretary General
Thorbjørn Jagland has published an article in the British Independent
criticizing Aliyevs' regime which, by the way, has currently assumed
chairmanship of the Council of Europe. The Azerbaijani press has
expressed an opinion that Azerbaijan and Turkey are wanted to get
involved in a big war.
Apparently, German and British ministers tried to figure out the
medium-term potential of Armenia in global and regional developments.
The minister of defense Seiran Ohanyan answered substantially,
reiterating that Armenia will fight for every patch of land.
