Turkey seeks integration to Middle East and South Caucasus simultaneously

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey is attempting to build new kind of relations with neighboring states, and such ambitions are not restricted to South Caucasus only. As successor of Ottoman Empire, Turkey has serious problems with almost all neighbors, Caucasus Institute Director, political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan told a news conference in Yerevan, answering a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter's question.



To resolve all those problems, Turkey is conducting a multi-vector foreign policy, making statements "in favor of Azerbaijan on the one hand, and in favor of Israel on the other." "Turkey seeks integration to Middle East and South Caucasus simultaneously, that's why it is conducting similar policy in both regions," Iskandaryan said, commenting upon processes in Turkish-Israeli relations.
