Kurds will show whether tendencies of destruction of the Ottoman Empire are an ongoing process or not, Armenian political analyst said.

According to Levon Shirinyan, the fall of the Ottoman Empire started after it suffered a defeat in the Battle of Vienna.

In conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the expert noted that Turkey gradually decreases in sizes.

“If the tendencies continue formation of an independent Kurdish state and loss of another part of the country may become the next step,” Mr. Shirinyan said.

“The Turkish elite must realize that following extermination of the Armenians, Turkey left the Kurdish, which threatens to play a major role in determining the future of the Turkish state,” he concluded.
