Political scientist Vafa Guluzade commented on the US policy in the region.
"It was clear from the beginning that the United States are playing dirty against Turkey, Ahmed Davutoglu is right when saying that it is impossible to blackmail Turkey. Unfortunately, Washington has chosen this tone in the relations with Turkey. But this may affect the US itself", said political scientist Vafa Guluzade, commenting on statements by Turkish Foreign Ministry Ahmed Davutoglu who said the discussion of the "Armenian Genocide" in the US Congress is an element of pressure on Ankara.
"The United States behave as a Christian extremist in the relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan. They close eyes on the criminal regime in Armenia that has occupied the Azerbaijani land. They spoil relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan on purpose. If this continues, that is the US recognizes 'genocide', Turkey will spoil all ally relations with the United States, drive them away from Injirlik, strengthen cooperation with Russia and Iran and I do not rule out possible accession to CSTO and establishment of the military alliance with Moscow. As for Azerbaijan, it will always be near its strategic partner, Turkey Therefore, the Americans will get such a geopolitical configuration in the region, which will not be useful for them", he said.
As for whether the United States do not understand the gloomy picture that may establish in the region in terms of their policy, the political scientist noted that they do it either on purpose or for their foolishness.
"They seem to be willing to deal with Turkey after ending with Iran. But they do not understand that they will have a single front while holding such a policy which does not promise them anything good”, the political scientist noted.
He said the United States also deceived Ankara “first promising Turkey to turn it into a regional leader and settle the Karabakh conflict in exchange for opening borders. But in the result Ankara received unilateral pressure of the US side in the issue of border opening. Armenia does not recognize the territorial integrity of Turkey or discussion of genocide. Today Armenia is an aggressor not only against Azerbaijan but also against Turkey.
The US intention aimed at opening borders with Armenia is aimed to cause split within Turkey, worsen the Kurdish issue and destabilize the internal political situation in the country. This is what the United States are going to do", Guluzade said.
