Turkey ready to sacrifice Israel for sake of Arab worldNovember 24, 2010 - 18:50 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkologist, Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the RA National Academy of Sciences Ruben Safrastyan said that Ankara is ready to sacrifice Israel to gain a new place in the Arab world. “Currently, Turkey gives preference to its relations with the Arab world and Iran, as it has a common border with these countries,” Safrastyan told a round table on Trends in Israel-Turkey Relations and the Regional Context. “Turkey prefers to be surrounded by such allies, on which it can have an influence, rather than to be a military and strategic partner of Israel. It is basically conditioned by Turkey’s inability to influence the Israeli policy,” said Safrastyan.
