PanARMENIAN.Net – Political analyst at the European Integration NGO
pointed out a number of reasons proving the need for intensification
of the Turkish foreign policy.
As Manvel Ghumashyan told a press conference on March 29, its current
trends lead to a deadlock.
“First, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the ‘ball is in
Turkey’s field in Armenian-Turkish relations’; second, Turkey strived
to become the sole and authoritative mediator in the “Arab war”
revolutionary processes, though it miserably foiled the mission.
Third, its active stance on the Syrian issue didn’t bring success,
either. Fourth, on the threshold of the U.S. presidential elections
Obama will need Armenian support, with use of the Genocide term
and exerting pressure on Turkey considered the best variants,” the
expert said.
