YEREVAN. – The Kurdish issue for Turkey is becoming more important on the background of the situation in Syria, expert Ruben Melkonyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am adding the situation in Syria has sharpened the Kurdish factor.  As for Turkey’s call to the UN to set up a defense buffer zone in the north of Syria, where refugees could reside securely, Melkonyan said that Turkey is de-facto concerned about half-independent Kurdish regions. It tries to set up a buffer zone desiring to occupy some territory of Syria. To note, the Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu has called the UN on Monday to set up a buffer zone protecting Syria’s north, where the refugees could reside securely.
