The Kurds never give up on the idea of having their own fatherland; therefore, we face a threat of losing our own historical fatherland
Yesterday political scientist Sergey Shakaryants expressed an idea that the Turkish Prime Minister, Erdoğan, had been engaged in negotiations with Abdullah Öcalan, a Kurdish leader, during which Öcalan had made concessions, doing what the Turkish government had demanded, and if this was successful, tomorrow we would deal not with Turkey, where we could make demands, but with a whole new state, which would deny responsibility. www.aravot.am inquired of Davit Jamalyan, a military expert, how realistic that scenario was and whether he shared political scientist Shakaryants’s opinion. According to Mr. Jamalyan, the Kurdish factor, as the one that destabilizes Turkey, has always been there, and it is a potential threat. Turkey’s division was just a matter of time, but the Kurds never give up on the idea of having a state of their own, therefore, there is a threat of losing our historical fatherland. According to Mr. Jamalyan, “The problem here are not only the Kurds and Turkey, there is a de facto Kurdish state in Iraq, it encourages similar positions among the other Kurds. It is too soon to talk about division in the near future, but we should consider the prospect of facing the Kurds one day to recover our historical fatherland.” Although we will not face this issue in the near future, but according to the expert, from the long-term perspective, one should start serious, pragmatic, and clear programs to reach national goals. And according to the expert, one of the most important and primary programs is the building and the equal population of Artsakh, solving the issue of population growth both in Armenia and in Artsakh, and encouraging communication programs between Armenia and Iran, the program of the Armenia-Iran railroad in particular, after the implementation of which we will make serious progress.
