Turkish expert: Ankara-U.S. conflict to escalate in 2015 over Genocide 100 anniv.

PanARMENIAN.Net - Experts expect exacerbation of a conflict between the U.S. and Turkey in 2015, on 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, a Turkish political analyst said.

“Muslim world’s response to Obama’s reelection as U.S. president was equivocal, with little change in the latter’s policy line to be expected. However, some alterations will be in line, including escalation of a conflict with Turkey.

In 2015, on 100th anniversary of the Genocide, U.S. won’t be able to stand aside, instead trying to pressure Turkey into recognizing the 1915 massacres,” Tolma Tanis said.

“On the other hand, Turkey and U.S. are allies where Syria crisis is concerned, despite Obama’s opposition to a military solution to a conflict between Turkey and Syria, as well as a civil war in Syria.”

“As to other countries’ response to Obama’s reelection, Egypt was the fist to congratulate him, expressing “hope fur further mutually beneficial relations.”

“Palestine leader, as well as Israeli Prime Minister also hailed further cooperation, as opposed to Iran’s understandable cold response, with Ayatollah Sadiq Larijani noting that no new U.S.-Tehran negotiations are to planned in near future,” Islamtoday quoted the expert as saying, umma.org.ua reported.
