ArmInfo. The world is unfair to Armenia in assessing its importance, Famous Israeli political scientist, public figure Avigdor Eskin stated in a video interview with HAYASA.

According to him, recent events in the Middle East have clearly shown  the aggressive essence of Turkish politics. The cruelty with which  the Turks cracked down on the Kurds and other residents of the border  regions of Syria, the unbridled policies of Erdogan once again  reminded the world that not only Islamism, but pan-Turkism in Turkish  politics poses a real threat to the entire region. And if we take  another factor such as a terrorist organization, from the point of  view of Russian law, as the "Muslim Brotherhood", which is actually  in power in Istanbul, headed by Erdogan, then all this makes us think  about the role of Armenia, "the political scientist emphasized.

According to Eskin, it is Armenia, or rather Armenia, Georgia and  Karabakh, together - this is the very layer that protects the whole  world from the combined efforts of those forces in Azerbaijan that  are also striving for the same pan-Turkist revanchist tendencies with  the chief controller in Istanbul, in Ankara.  "This must be taken  into account, the growing role of Armenia, its strategic importance  must be understood, and in this sense, Israel also needs to talk  about how important Armenia is today as a deterrent, even simply by  its existence," the political scientist noted.

In an interview with ArmInfo correspondent, Avigdor Eskin, answering  the question of how far this aggressive foreign policy of Ankara can  go, noted that today there is an increase in Islamic imperial  ambitions in Turkey, because the "Muslim Brotherhoods" are in power  in Ankara. At the same time, revanchist moods are growing with  nostalgia for the Ottoman Empire, as well as pan-Turkic moods. These  trends are manifested, as he already noted, in aggressive foreign  policy in Syria, as well as in Cyprus, and in relation to their own  Kurdish population.

<We also observe a clear irredentist tendency in Turkish behavior  towards the Gaza Strip and in the territory of Israel itself, where  Turkish diplomats allow themselves to act contrary to international  etiquette.  If these aggressive tendencies in Turkish politics are  not stopped, we will face the threat of widespread aggression in the  region with consequences for the whole world>, the expert concluded.
