YEREVAN. - Currently a new international system is being created: three states—the United States, Russia and China—are becoming the centers of the new geopolitical system.

Head of the Institute of Oriental Studies at the Armenian National Academy of Sciences, Turkologist Ruben Safrastyan, told the aforementioned at a press-conference Tuesday.

In his words, there has been no such thing in the world before.

Touching on his expectations related to the role of Turkey in the Karabakh conflict settlement, Safrastyan noted that there can be no positive expectations here.

“I am sure that Turkey will from time to time try to use the Karabakh issue for solving the issues of its own politics. That is, if Ankara finds it is necessary to escalate the situation and provoke Azerbaijan to aggression at the borders, it will make such a step,” he stressed.
