Expert forecasts deterioration of Turkish-Israeli tiesMarch 29, 2012 - 17:08 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Director of RA NAS Institute of Oriental Studies noted increasing presence in the Arab world as Turkey’s key goal. Asked by a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter about development prospects of the Turkish-Israeli relations, Ruben Safrastyan answered that Turkey tries to have its impact on the region through strengthening anti-Israeli rhetoric and support to the Palestinian organizations. According to the expert, deterioration of bilateral ties bears a natural rather than a demonstrative character, with the anti-Israeli rhetoric backed by a large number of pro-Iranian forces. “The ruling Justice and Development Party in Turkey is based on Islamic ideology, with PM Erdoğan’s position contributing to the aggravation of ties between the two countries. Mr. Safrastyan noted further worsening of Turkish-Israeli relations quite probable, whereas Turkish attempts to boost presence in the region are less feasible.
