ArmInfo. Nikol Pashinyan spoke about Erdogan's desire to continue the Armenian Genocide and warned that the latter, reviving the Ottoman Porte, would stop at the doorstep of Vienna. He will not stop there.
The Turks have long since taken Vienna, Berlin, Brussels, London, Tripoli and Gaza. Judging by what happened in Karabakh, they consider even Moscow as their patrimony. Not to mention Kazan, Baku and Ashgabat. At least that's how they behave. This opinion is shared by a Russian orientalist and economist, one of the leading experts in the field of politics and economics in Israel and other countries of the Middle East, founder and president of the research center "Institute of the Middle East" Yevgeny Satanovsky.
"In some of these places he relies on numerous and influential diasporas. In others on control over the largest local mosques and their imams. Somewhere, due to the successful blackmail of Europeans by migrants from the Middle East, which Erdogan put on the stream, and also made money on it. Or due to the fact that he involved his neighbors in large projects in Turkey, for their own money, as he involved us.
As for the Armenian Genocide, how else should a person, who remembers the previous genocide, occurred a century ago, consider Erdogan's demands to cleanse Karabakh of the local population, which the latter considers as occupiers, and who are Armenian from time immemorial? Not to mention the recent threat of a Turkish attack on Yerevan ... However, he hates not only Armenians. He does not treat the Greeks and Jews any better. And he demonstrated this more than once, including at the official level. And Russians in present-day Turkey are "Moscow gawurs". Very indicative. We send them tourists, aren't we? We are building a nuclear power plant at our own expense, which will never be paid off. We have laid a pipeline across the Black Sea? The first, Blue Stream,long ago. The second, Turkish Stream, just now. Moreover, Erdogan practically did not buy our gas by the beginning of the war in Karabakh. And they refused to process Russian oil at the largest oil refinery in Turkey. So we have nothing to take him by the throat.
Again, we buy real estate from them, not they from us. And the local elite, including in Tatarstan, will not sever economic ties with Turkey under any pressure. They figured it out from the 2015 airplane crisis. No matter Putin orders or not ... Where the Turks are investors, there they rule. This is no longer our elite. This is THEIR elite. Including the most influential lobbyists in the highest echelons of our eminently business power.
As for Libya and Syria ... The big question is who is the winner now. At least Erdogan is quite tired of the defeats in Aleppo and near Damascus, as well as the hassle with terrorists in Idlib, and the debriefing trips to Sochi and Moscow. Here he created a new problem for us in Karabakh. Fortunately, Pashinyan is a person oriented towards the States, and in any case, the war in Karabakh weakens our positions both in Baku and in Yerevan.
Simply put, Pashinyan is right about the Armenian genocide. In his own way, but right. Although he, more likely, addressed to the Diaspora, the Armenian Diaspora. American, French, Egyptian, Lebanese and Syrian Armenians will understand him like no other. Genocide is a terrible thing. It will be remembered for a long time. And maybe always, as long as there are Armenians in the world. And Erdogan has his own righteousness. He is ramming the Turkic world for himself, and is reformatting the world of Islam. With Turkey in the center of both. He does not need competitors - and this is about Russia. And the Armenians are not needed. He is, after all, a Laz, an Islamized ethnic Georgian. And this should also be taken into account ... ", the professor concluded.
