ArmInfo. Peaceful and democratic Turkey is the only possible way of its peaceful coexistence with other countries of the region. A similar opinion was voiced by ArmInfo deputy of the faction of the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party in the Turkish parliament Karo Paylan.
"However, unfortunately, Turkey continues to embrace nationalistic sentiments, and similar moods reign in Azerbaijan, naturally projecting onto Armenia incapable of developing in isolation from regional and global processes, and the situation in other countries of the region adjoining the South Caucasus is even more uneasy. In my opinion, thus, nationalist movements in our countries only strengthen each other, " - he stressed.
According to Pailan estimates, Turkish media, courts and even parliament are silent and practically inactive by the efforts of Recep Erdogan today, only the environment of the Turkish president works. Against this background, talking about the problems of Turkey, according to him, it becomes more difficult day by day. The parliamentarian claims that there were always problems in Turkey, but, for example, 10 years ago the Turkish society knew that the country was heading in the right direction of democratic development.
Pailan noted with regret the past two years as the years of the progressive tendency of Turkey to slide into the black abyss of totalitarianism. According to his estimates, today the country is managed from one center, and nationalist vectors of the most diverse kind dominate in domestic and regional politics. The same Turkey, in his opinion, is a threat not only to neighboring countries.
In this context, the parliamentarian sees the need for joint development of mechanisms for peaceful coexistence of representatives of civil societies of Turkey, and neighboring Armenia, Syria and Iraq.
"The continuation of the search for a way out of the impasse in which the Armenian-Turkish relations are located is a necessity, and we must fight for the establishment of Turkey as a peaceful, democratic state, this is the only sure way, including towards recognizing the Armenian Genocide and opening the border with Armenia, summed up Paylan.
