Ispirian: West uses Turkey as tool against Syria
Within the framework of its Great Middle East policy, the U.S. is worried about the rapprochement between Turkey and Israel. Turkologist Andranik Ispirian expressed this opinion during a talk with the correspondent of Aysor.am when commenting on the recent improvement of Turkish-Israeli relations.
“The Turkish-Israeli improvement is related to the events in Syria. Cooperation of Turkey and Syria is in line with the logic of the West’s policy against Syria,” the expert noted.
According to Ispirian, Israeli has efficient intelligence and its secret service agents infiltrate Syria from the territory of Turkey so the two countries need to cooperate.
“The cooperation between Turkey and Israel against Syria may give results desired by Western countries,” Ispirian stressed. In his words, the fall of the Bashar Assad regime is in the interests of the U.S. that tries to achieve this by means of Turkey.
The Turkologist noted that the West has launched an interesting process in the Middle East where changes and actions against Syria are being carried out with the hands of Muslim countries, rather than NATO.
“The West is trying to use Turkey as a tool against Syria, giving Turkey some dividends,” Ispirian said.
