Nikolay Zlobin: Moscow tries to wear a good mask within bad game with Turkey
ArmInfo. Moscow tries to wear a good mask playing bad game with Turkley, Nikolay Zlobin, the President and the Founder of Global Studies Center (Washington) shared his opinion with ArmInfo.
To my opinion, another rapprochement of Russia and Turkey is not even tactical. Most probably, getting close to Russia for Turkey is predicted by a necessity. That is the necessity to solve the Syrian Crysis, and the expansion of Russian influence in the Black Sea region. Within all this, according to the expert, Turkey will never turn Russia's ally, because it's very ambitious, unpredictable and dangerous strategic enemy of Russia.
The expert estimates this Moscow's attempt to make such an enemy circumcised as a big intellectual and political challenge. And the periodic change of intentions in Moscow in respect to Ankara the expert estimates as the evidence of the absence of consensus in the Turkish vector of Russian external policy. According to the expert, under such conditions, the relations with Turkey could be followed by another tension at any moment.
