Yerevan /Mediamax/. Director of Institute of Oriental Studies of
Armenian National Academy of Sciences Ruben Safrastyan said today that
Armenia is entering a new phase of global developments and it will
exert its impact on Turkey’s policy.

Ruben Safrastyan believes that the deterioration of relations between
Russia and the U.S. over the past months will inevitably increase
Turkey’s significance in U.S. calculations, Mediamax reports.

`It’s not only about exacerbation of relations but also about a stage
of shaping a new world order. Turkey once managed to take advantage of
the newly emerging situation and it will result in strengthening of
Turkey’s anti-Russian policy, and Turkey will fortify its position in
the region’, said the scientist.

Ruben Safrastyan pointed out that Turkey has received `a carte
blanche’ from the U.S. for its actions. The expert of Oriental Studies
added that the situation provides a chance for Turkey to fight more
actively against Armenian Genocide recognition.
