Expert: no changes expected in Turkey’s foreign policy before parliamentary election

Director of Caucasus Institute, political analyst Alexander Iskandaryan said that no changes will be registered in Ankara’s official foreign policy until the parliamentary election in Turkey.

Pre-election situation in Turkey has an impact on statements by Turkish high-ranking officials – Turkey tries to position itself as a defender of the Arab world on the one hand and works for Europe, on the other, Iskandaryan said.

Taking this into consideration, dynamics can be expected only after the parliamentary election, he concluded.
