The South Caucasus has become one of the priority areas of Ankara's foreign policy, and the Middle East is inferior to the Caucasus in terms of its relevance.
YEREVAN, August 27 - Sputnik. Turkey will soon increase pressure on Armenia, intending to strengthen its positions in the South Caucasus. Orientalist Varuzhan Geghamyan writes about it in his TG-channel.
The expert has been working in Syria and Lebanon for several weeks, and he has an impression that the Middle East region has ceded its positions in the list of Ankara's foreign policy priorities.
“For Turkey, the South Caucasus and the Black Sea region have become the primary goal of foreign policy at the moment, dominating the Syrian-Iraqi vector. And this means that Turkey will direct its best resources (diplomatic, military, personnel and economic) in our direction, solving the tasks set for itself,” the Turkologist writes.
Ankara's main task, according to Geghamyan, is to expand the zone of Turkish influence and strengthen the Turkish belt from Central Asia to the Balkans. And the so-called “Zangezur corridor” project is one of the key steps in this direction, in connection with which the expert predicts the strengthening of Turkish pressure on Armenia.
However, in Armenia itself, from the expert's point of view, this simple truth is trying to be glossed over and ignored by any means. All sorts of non-serious and secondary topics are discussed in the public environment, without paying attention to the real and actual agenda.
