Currently Armenian issue on 2nd place of Turkey's foreign agenda
Turkish FM Abdullah Gul secures the inflow of Islamic capital into Turkey, with the help of which he contributes both to the development of the ruling Justice and Development (AKP) party and the Turkish business, Anoush Hovhannisyan, research assistant of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the RA NAS (National Academy of Sciences) stated at the round table organized by the Turkish Department of that institute. She said it is being done in order Turkey would become an example for other Islamic countries. "Currently Armenian issue is on the 2nd place of Turkey's foreign agenda. However taking into account the recent agreement between Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Russia on constructing Caspian gas pipeline the Armenian issue may appear in the first place. If Iran joins the project, it means that Moscow-Tehran-Yerevan axis can become a reality," she underscored.
