  Expert: Azerbaijan treads in Turkey’s footsteps in militarization May 13, 2011 - 15:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkologist Levon Hovsepyan has said Turkey’s militarization is a menace for Armenia and a headache for Europe. As Hovsepyan told a press conference in Yerevan, Turkey will try to gain maximum benefits from any regional development. “Ankara is dangerous.
