Turkey attempts to become a major strategic factor in the South
Caucasus and, thus, settle the conflicts it and its strategic partner
Azerbaijan face, the president of "Noravank" scientific-educational
foundation Gagik Harutyunyan told a press conference today. Azerbaijan
seeks merely for the matters of tactics over the Nagorno-Karabakh
settlement, whereas Turkey’s steps are more strategic and far-fetched,
he said. "Today Turkey actively tries to find its place in the world
and has worked out a special strategy and policy," G. Harutyunyan
said. As he said, these have been unified in the idea of new-osmanism,
with the latter aiming at spreading its impact in the region.

“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
