Azerbaijan Consulted with Turkey for a Long Time to Label Us as 'Invaders': Hovhannisyan

Kurdologist and Turkologist Karen Hovhannisyan wrote on his Facebook page: "If anyone thinks that the military operations taking place in Syria have nothing to do with Armenia, if anyone believes that people are being killed there who deserve it, then, to say the least, I am astonished.

Turkey's expansionist policy and territorial expectations towards neighboring countries are now explicit. Turkey no longer hides that it is trying to create a state in the region that will include areas that have previously obstructed its territorial expansion and the realization of the ideology of Pan-Turkism.

If Turkey considers certain formations to be terrorist groups and is expelling male residents from those areas, what is left for women and children, of course, is to leave. If Turkey is carrying out these operations in Syria today, after their completion, it will turn its eyes towards Iraq...

Turkey has hinted several times that it will build a wall along the border with Armenia, and we already know what happened when it built a wall on the 911 km Syrian border...

Any expansionist policy from Turkey is directly dangerous to us and gives us something to think about. And let’s never say that the Russian army is standing on the border, as there were both Russian and American forces in Syria as well… Perhaps the realization of that threat will not be direct but mediated, but it is dangerous for us.

Azerbaijan has consulted with Turkey for a long time to label us with that term 'invaders'..."
