Turkish policy in the Middle East is too active, according to director of RA NAS Institute of Oriental Studies.

“Turkish foreign policy trends in the Middle East are similar to those of the U.S. in key areas, though the interests of the two countries collide in certain cases. Turkey will harm itself, if it continues implementation of such risky policy,” Ruben Safrastyan said.

The expert didn’t rule out military intervention by the Turkish army in Syrian developments, which necessitates ensuring security guarantees for the Armenian community of the Arab country by Turkey.
