YEREVAN. –Turkey-Azerbaijan-Georgian alliance is united by desire to strengthen Armenia’s blockade, expert in Turkish studies Hagop Chkaryan told reporter adding that countries’ positions on other geopolitical issues differ.

For example, he said, Turkey has claims for Adjara (Georgia), the position of Turkey and Azerbaijan will not agree on the issue of Iran and Israel. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan and Georgia have differences on border line, etc. In fact, all three countries are united by one thing - hatred towards Armenians.

Georgia, sacrificing Armenia’s interests aims for immediate profits. Such a policy, will appear to be harmful for Georgia in a long-term perspective, he added.

In his turn, an MP and head of the Javakhk Union Shirak Torosian said there are only two countries in the world, except for Azerbaijan, where “being Armenian is a shame”. These states are Turkey and Georgia, he stressed. For example, in Georgia, you can often hear the phrase “a good guy, I wish he were not Armenian”.

Torosyan noted that during the recent years Tbilisi’s policy led to increased Turkish-Azerbaijani factor in Georgia. Turkey’s projects in Adjara led to a significant flow of Turks in this region, the airport in Batumi is considered as internal system of air traffic in Turkey.

The MP noted that road construction projects within Millennium Challenge program and construction of power plants in Javakhk is entrusted to Turkish or Azerbaijani companies, as a result the number of Turks in the region has also increased sharply.

Hakob Chakryan stressed that Turkey’s actions in the region will be prevented. The region is an area of ​​Russian, U.S. and the EU interests, thus super powers will not permit strengthening of Turkish factor.
