A major geopolitical process is underway around the South Caucasus
which may relate to the Armenian border considering the Turkish
incursion in Iraq. Considering the reality and likely developments,
is it possible that the Turkish incursion will weaken Turkey, lead
this country into dissolution, and creation of a Kurdish state outlined
on different maps, including the territory of historical Armenia near
the Turkish and Armenian border, and is it possible that the interests
of Armenia and Turkey may overlap? Davit Hovanisyan, expert on Islam,
answered this question of Lragir.am on October 24 at the Hayeli Club.

According to him, the issue relates to the global management of
infrastructures for which different forces need preconditions, first
of all their being related to them. Davit Hovanisyan says on the other
hand the United States needs to enhance its presence in the Black Sea
basin, because if the Black Sea used to be the so-called sea of the
Warsaw pact, now most Black Sea countries are pro-NATO or NATO member
countries. "The United States is implementing a policy meant to justify
the presence of NATO and guarantee its military presence. Turkey is
now against it with all its abilities," Davit Hovanisyan says.

As to the issue of Kurdistan, Davit Hovanisyan says it is the central
issue of the 21st century. "Because it is in four countries, and
if this bomb comes off, it will cause a sweeping instability. The
alarmists think so, I do not share their opinion and I think that it
is highly difficult to consolidate the Kurdish people without for
instance the Turkish incursion in Iraq which enables consolidation
of Iraqi Kurdistan and Turkish Kurdistan," Davit Hovanisyan says.

As to Iraq, Hovanisyan thinks Iraq is a convenient territory for the
United States, Europe, Russia, where now the violence potential of
the world is centered in the face of radical Islamists and terrorist
organizations. "Apparently, the violence of the world is centered
here, and if allowed, it will spread across the world, and the
second explosion may occur in New York, the third in Moscow," Davit
Hovanisyan says.

In this context, he says, Armenia and Turkey which are neighbors
have common interests and controversies. However, there will be more
clarity regarding this issue when Armenia outlines its internal and
external priorities, Davit Hovanisyan says.
