"Both pan-Islamists and pan-Turkists are similarly bad for Armenia," political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan stated to a press conference in Yerevan. He said, during the coming parliamentarian election in Turkey the main struggle will flare up just between these two streams. "The General Staff of the army and kemalists represent the pan-Turkist direction, which currently is in opposition. And Prime Minister Recep Erdogan's Justice and Development (AKP) party represents the pan-Islamism motion. Pan-Islamists are lesser of evils for Armenia. However, pan-Turkists will win the elections in Turkey," the Armenian political scientist underscored.

Early parliamentarian elections in Turkey are scheduled for July 22.
