“The aggravation of the Turkish-Israeli relations is, to an extent, a confrontation between the Islamic World and the Jewish state. It is no secret that the incumbent Turkish authorities are pro-Islamic, and, sooner or later, Turkey’s relations with Israel were to reach the present state,” the RA Parliament member Vardan Khachatryan told NEWS.am.

According to him, the main reason for disagreements between Turkey and Israel is the latter’s position on the Kurdish problem, particularly its support for the formation of a Kurdish autonomy. In this context, Khachatryan is sure that this factor certainly affected the bilateral relations.

Simultaneously with aggravating its relations with Turkey, Israel is developing relations with Azerbaijan. As to what effect it may have on the Turkish-Azerbaijani strategic relations, Khachatryan said: “Although I cannot make any forecasts, the Armenia-Turkey normalization process would certainly cause problems between Turkey and Azerbaijan. No doubts, Azerbaijan will revise its foreign policy. As a result, official Baku will use cooperation with Israel as a counterbalance to the Turkish-Armenian relations.”
