THE UNITY OF TURKIC NATIONS IS JUST AN ILLUSION
On the 11th Forum for Friendship, Brotherhood and Cooperation of Turkic States Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan caused a great disappointment to Turkey.
Turkey's disappointment was about the resolution of the Azerbaijani National High Council for Radio and Television to stop translations in Turkish and the decision of the Turkmenistani authorities to establish diplomatic relations with the Republic of Cyprus.
The Forum was opened by Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan and closed by the ex-President of Turkey Suleyman Demirel. President of the "Turkish Republic of North Cyprus" Mehmed Ali Talat was also took part in the event.
In his speech Erdogan condemned the European Union for applying sanctions against the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus and the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group for prolonging the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. He called upon all the representatives of Turkic nations to unite with the following words, "Don't you know what they are going to do with us, if we do not unite? They will tear us apart!"
Referring to the Karabakh issue, Prime Minister Erdogan said, "Karabakh is a bleeding wound for all of us. Armenia must put an end to the annexation, which contradicts all the principles of word values, basic human rights and international law". Talat added, "The UN resolutions are not put into practice in Karabakh. Greece impedes the normalization of situation in Cyprus. The Greeks prevent us from establishing normal relations with any state. The support of the Turkic community shall be the greatest assistance to the settlement of those issues."
Ilham Aliev in his turn demanded the Turkic states to assume a common stance on the Armenian Genocide and to struggle jointly against its recognition.
In the meantime Azerbaijan refuses Turkey's demands to recognize the "Turkish Republic of North Cyprus". In such circumstances relations between the Turkic republics are getting caught in a vicious circle. However, the problem is not just in the relations of Turkey with the rest of the Turkic states. There are also a number of subtle inner controversies, saying nothing of the Russian-American factor.
In Kazakhstan the Russian influence is still great, in Kyrgyzstan Russia is restoring its positions after the 'colored revolution' and Turkenistan avoids fulfilling Ankara's demands balancing the influence of the USA by that of Russia, while Uzbekistan, which plays an important role in Central Asia, is engaged in serious controversies with Ankara after the displacement of Karimov's regime.
In order to ensure the unity of Turkic states, Ankara has to settle their inner controversies at first and neutralize the Russian and American factors. Ankara must also to ensure the isolation of the Turkic states from the influence of Iran.
As it follows from the stances of the Turkic states on the 11th Forum, only Azerbaijan supports Ankara. However, the United States are most likely to win the competition for domination in South Caucasus with Russia, and Azerbaijan will find it hard to avoid the American influence and not to give way the policy of Washington, so fiercely opposed for Ankara.
