/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The most efficient way to resist challenges in front
of Turkey is economic development of districts populated by Kurds, say
experts of Jane’s Analytical Center. As a recipe they offer Turkey to
open border with Armenia. Experts think that the simultaneously acting
"shadow cabinet" of Turkey – the army, currently is seriously concerned
by the instability in Iraq and calls upon the U.S. to launch military
actions against Kurdish separatists on the North of Iraq. "Intelligence
services and military potentials of Turkey consider hypothetical
Kurdish government as a serious threat to security and stability of
Turkey," say Jane’s experts. In case of opening the Armenian-Turkish
border from border trade, first of all, will benefit Kurdish districts
on the East of Turkey. "Since currently the Turkish army examines the
opening of Armenian-Turkish border not as threat but as achieving their
goals in Eastern Turkey, most probably even conservative circles will
give their preferences to the opening of Armenian-Turkish border,"
say the experts of Jane’s center, RFE RL reports.
