Turkish factor is key factor approximating Armenia and Macedonia

Armenia and Macedonia have several common goals, Honorary Consul of Macedonia to Armenia said.

As Arayik Sargsyan told a press conference, the monopoly of a unipolar world headed by the U.S. is gradually receding into the past, with Russia, China, the EU and the Arab League coming to the fore.

“Armenia and Macedonia geographically are divided by Turkey, while the problem of the Turkish factor strategically unites them. Neo-Ottomanism and Pan-Turkism spark concerns of Turkey’s two neighbors, of the Balkan Countries, Serbia and Greece,” he said, adding that the common threat may lay the foundation of consolidating ties and joining efforts to form a counterforce.
