/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Self-efficiency is manifestation of independence. The
same refers to Ankara’s regional policy, NKR political scientist David
Babayan wrote in a peace of opinion titled "Global, regional and local
levels of latest political transformations in the South Caucasus,"
obtained by PanARMENIAN.Net.

"Self-efficiency should be maintained both in internal and external
policies. One of its components is a certain system of values that
underlies the "two states, one nation" formula invented in early
1990-ies.

Turkism or Turkic solidarity outlines a game of many moves. The
point is that drawing Ankara into the South Caucasus, Moscow tries to
diminish the U.S. influence on the region. It’s quite clear that if
the regional problems are discussed by regional powers, exterritorial
countries will hardly penetrate into the process," he wrote.

Ankara’s engagement into the South Caucasus geopolitics can cause
problems in Turkey and throughout Middle East, according to Babayan.

"Turkism as a basis of Turkish self-sufficiency will inevitably
affect the Kurdish population, whose ethnic area is contiguous to
the Transcaucasia. Turkism will also arouse serious concerns in
Iran. Besides, it’s beyond Europe’s interests, since the process can
become unpredictable," he said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
