Vafa Guluzade 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.
