Turkey Weighs Ending Economic Embargo on Armenia Turkey's 16-year trade embargo against Armenia is one of the longest such sanctions in the world. Ankara enforced the embargo in solidarity with Azerbaijan, after Armenian forces occupied nearly 20 percent of Azeri territory during a war over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave. But a growing rapprochement between Turkey and Armenia is giving hope the embargo may be lifted. Ana is one of the estimated 70,000 Armenians working illegally in Turkey. She, like most Armenians employed here, is a nanny. Ana says an open border would transform her life. "I think if the border opens, many things will change. I am 20-years old and working in another country without official documents is very difficult for me." She said. "I am always afraid of walking on the street and seeing the police. If the border opens, it will be good for everyone, there would be an exchange between the two countries and both will win." Turkish minister for EU membership Ergemen Bagis acknowledges the hardship caused by his country's embargo on Armenia, but says the recent easing of tensions offers hope for a normalization of relations. "When you look at the population numbers of Armenia, coming down from four million to currently two million, people are fleeing Armenia because of poverty," said Ergemen Bagis. "We believe Turkey can help Armenia solve some of their economic problems by direct trade. In the last six years the Turkish government has allowed Armenian planes to land in Istanbul. There are up to 70,000 Armenians of Armenia living in Turkey, mostly working illegally. And we are talking about 15 percent of Armenia dependent on the money coming from these workers." But it is not only Armenia that has been hurt by the embargo. Turkey 's eastern region bordering Armenia is amongst the poorest in the country and has been hit hard by the ban on trade. Historically, the two countries had strong trading ties, and many observers say an open border would offer the prospect of rejuvenating Turkey's underdeveloped eastern provinces. Turkish Armenian Trade Council President Kaan Soyak says while there is distrust between political leaders there is no such problem between businessmen. "When I was in Yerevan last week, I met several business people regularly traveling to Turkey to buy business material and manufacturing in Armenian and selling to U.S. and Russia," said Kaan Soyak. "And the type of trade they started without any contract like it used to be, history, no contract, nothing. It is based on word, based on trust. Everybody knows each other, they trust each other. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of volume are being done without any document. No contact no nothing. It is amazing, I see great demand from both side to start this type of trade again." U.S. President Barack Obama's new administration in Washington has also thrown its diplomatic weight behind the rapprochement process. "An open border would return the Turkish and Armenian people to a peaceful and prosperous coexistence that would serve both your nations," said President Obama. "So I want you to know the United States strongly supports the full normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia." President Obama made those comments in an address to the Turkish Parliament last month, joining the European Union in giving added impetus to the ongoing efforts to improve relations. With pressure continuing to grow from businesses and the international community for normalized ties, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said last month he hopes the embargo will end by October. That is when Armenia is due to play an international football match in Istanbul. But such hopes may be dashed. Turkey's ally, Azerbaijan, has been cool to the new rapprochement. It wants the end of Turkey's embargo on Armenia linked to the withdrawal of Armenian forces from disputed territory that Azerbaijan wants back. With some of the largest gas reserves in the world, Azerbaijan has powerful economic muscle. An international relations analyst at Istanbul's Bligi university, Soli Ozel, says plans for the European Union-backed Nabucco gas pipeline that would run through Turkey to Europe, could fall victim to tensions between Turkey and Azerbaijan. "Azeris reacted rather harshly to these openings; they even went so far to start a flirtation with the Russians, suggesting they want to sell part of their gas, which would have to be used for the Nabucco project, to Russians," said Soli Ozel. "I guess without Azerbaijan you cannot really start it because the Iranian gas is nowhere to be seen for the moment. Iran 's relations with the west is not the best. Therefore if you going to do anything about Nabucco and start the project you have to be able to rely on Azeri gas." Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev has indicated his country could raise the price of gas sold to Turkey. The Turkish economy is heavily dependent on that gas and Ankara is now working hard to ease Azeri concerns. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is due to visit Baku next week. ссылка

Erdoğan to visit Azerbaijan, Russia to discuss Caucasus peace Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will travel to Azerbaijan and Russia this month to discuss the efforts being made towards Turkish-Armenian reconciliation, which have been welcomed by the United States and Europe but that risk alienating Azerbaijan. Erdoğan will be discussing the Turkish-Armenian rapprochement, which Baku complains it is not sufficiently informed about, and efforts to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan, when he visits Baku on May 13 and Russia on May 16. Turkish officials say Russia could play a key role in the progress of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Erdoğan is scheduled to travel to Russia for talks with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, Turkish and Russian officials said yesterday. A statement from the Russian Prime Ministry described Erdoğan's visit as a "working visit" and Turkish officials said the meeting with Putin was likely to take place in the Black Sea city of Sochi. Energy will be another key item on the agenda of the talks. The government announced last month that it had reached a framework agreement with Armenia on normalization of relations but also gave assurances several times that it would not take any action that would alienate Azerbaijan. As a sign of Ankara's readiness to ease Azerbaijan's concerns, Turkey's new Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu yesterday met with Azerbaijan's Deputy Foreign Minister Arza Azimov, his first official guest, after taking over the office from Ali Babacan on Saturday. Azimov's visit and the announcement of Erdoğan's visit come amid tension in relations with Azerbaijan, a regional and ethnic ally which is also a key energy supplier for Turkey, over the Turkish-Armenian rapprochement. Baku has expressed concern over prospects of the border opening between Turkey and Armenia without progress in its dispute with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh, warning it would have an impact on regional stability. Azerbaijan fears it would lose a key leverage in the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute against Armenia if Turkey opens its border. Turkey closed the border gate in 1993 in a show of solidarity with Azerbaijan after Armenia invaded Nagorno-Karabakh and a portion of adjacent territory. Turkish officials said it was no coincidence that Davutoğlu's first official meeting was with a senior Azerbaijani official. Azimov, who is in charge of efforts to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute, also met with Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Ertuğrul Apakan in Ankara. Officials said bilateral ties and regional issues were discussed in the meeting and underlined that more bilateral contact with Azerbaijan was in the offing. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammedyarov is expected to visit Ankara in reciprocation of an earlier visit by Former Foreign Minister Babacan to Baku. Later, on May 7, the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia will have a key meeting in Prague on the sidelines of a meeting of EU leaders with heads of former Soviet countries. In addition to Azerbaijan and Armenia, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and Georgia will attend the talks. The following day, an international energy summit will convene in Prague to discuss the stalled Nabucco pipeline project. Prime Minister Erdoğan is expected to attend the summit on behalf of Turkey. The host country will bring together leaders attending both meetings at a dinner on the evening of May 7. ссылка

Foreign Minister Davutoğlu and Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Azimov shake hands before their meeting in Ankara. Davutoğlu to be sworn in before Parliament today Turkey's new Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu will be sworn in before Parliament today, days after taking over the post from his predecessor Ali Babacan. Davutoğlu, a respected scholar and architect of the policy of greater focus on the Middle East, is the first person to be appointed to the Cabinet from outside Parliament. He will take the oath at the General Assembly today. Davutoğlu's appointment was part of an expected Cabinet reshuffle after the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) suffered its worst election results since it took power in 2002, when voters punished it in the March municipal polls. Prime Minister Erdoğan keeps a tight grip on most areas of government but on foreign policy has long given a strong say to Davutoğlu, his chief foreign policy adviser for the last seven years. Analysts say the concern will be whether Davutoğlu, who has expanded foreign policy beyond Turkey's traditional Western-oriented focus, will have an appetite to accelerate European Union membership talks. "It is important that Davutoğlu doesn't drop the EU ball. A key reason the Middle East looks to Turkey is the country's prospect of membership, the same goes for investors," Hugh Pope, an analyst for the International Crisis Group, told Reuters. But the Middle East is also a priority for major powers and given that the EU is facing its own economic woes, with difficulty in integrating new members, analysts say Turkey is playing smart. "I don't know who they [Turkey] can engage with in Europe so to criticize them for reorienting themselves from Europe is ridiculous," a former US diplomat was quoted as saying by Reuters. ссылка

Игдырские тофики не в восторге от перспективы открытия границы. Border Turks Want Door to Armenia Kept Shut Plan to reopen frontier between Armenia and Turkey wins few friends in towns and villages on Turkish side. Plan to reopen frontier between Armenia and Turkey wins few friends in towns and villages on Turkish side. By Sabuhi Mammadli Talk of the possible reopening of the Turkish-Armenian border has left residents in nearby Turkish towns divided on whether such a development is what they need. Many say that even if it means certain economic benefits for them, they are not ready to make friends with their Armenian neighbours. Igdir is a small town in Turkey. For all its provinciality, it lies in an area of great strategic importance for Turkey, located at an intersection of the country’s borders with Azerbaijan, Armenia and Iran. Most of the local people in Igdir are Azeris who moved here from territories in or adjacent to Nagorny Karabakh. Turkey closed its border with Armenia in 1993 in sympathy with Azerbaijan, following a series of defeats that the latter had suffered in its war over Nagorny Karabakh. There are still no diplomatic relations between the two countries due to the still unresolved Karabakh conflict and Armenia’s demands that Turkey recognise the following: the 1915 mass killings of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire as a genocide; and the territorial claims of some Armenian political parties to six provinces in Turkey’s north-east. But the fact that the opening of the frontier is one of the 35 requirements Turkey needs to meet to be admitted to the European Union has put pressure on Ankara to find a solution. Armenia and Turkey, with Switzerland as mediator, have been negotiating behind closed doors on the issue since 2002. The unblocking of the border was the top item on the agenda in talks between Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and United States president Barack Obama during the latter’s recent visit to Ankara. The issue was also discussed during the Turkish president Abdullah Gul’s short visit to Armenia last September. It also featured in the Turkish-Armenian talks being conducted in Switzerland, which resulted in the recent joint declaration of a so-called road map, leading towards hoped-for normalisation of relations. Signs that Turkey and Armenia might be moving toward a rapprochement have displeased the Azerbaijan president, Ilham Aliev, however. He showed his annoyance by refusing to attend a recent international conference in Ankara, thus sacrificing an opportunity to meet Obama, who attended the event among other high-ranking guests. Despite Azerbaijan’s demarches, the Turkish-Armenian road map already envisions reopening two checkpoints on the frontier between the two countries. One is located near the village of Alijan in Igdir; the other is in the Kars village of Akyaka. Cahid Erol, head of the Igdir department of the National Movement Party, known in Turkey as the MHP, is worried by the momentum leading towards reopening of the border. He fears the recent election of a Kurdish mayor in Igdir may have advanced an undesirable, process. Erol recently lost the local elections to the candidate of the Kurdish Democratic Society Party, Mehmet Gunesh, whom Erol insists is a sympathiser with the Kurdish Workers’ Party, PKK, deemed a terrorist organisation in Turkey. “Now, unfortunately, they’ve appointed a member of the PKK to lead the municipality,” Erol complained. He worries that the new Kurdish municipal chief will act on his pledges to open the frontier with Armenia. Soon after being elected, Gunesh told a local newspaper he would “open the gates of Alijan”, the village near one of the proposed checkpoints. “This will boost the region’s economic development,” he told the same newspaper. The idea of trading away Turkey’s alliance with Azerbaijan in exchange for “development” does not appeal to Erol. “Our respected [party] chairman, Devlet Bahceli, says, ‘We won’t back off on Karabakh, even if Azerbaijan does,’” he retorted. “We would be glad if Azerbaijan took a tough stance on the Turkey-Armenia border reopening issue, and if [President] Aliev upset the plans of Obama and Erdogan. “Our party has made its position clear. The border will never be opened, or they will have to step over our dead bodies first.” Opinions vary among ordinary residents of Igdir, though many seem as hostile to the reopening of the frontier as Erol. Nuri, an employee in the Hotel Barbarossa, in the heart of Igdir, said such a development would stain Turkey’s reputation. “I just can’t imagine Armenians traveling freely to Turkey,” he said. “How can it be possible?” A local businessman, Ekrem Yesil, struck a similar line. He said the sociology department of the University of Arzrum had recently conducted a survey of 10,000 people, showing the overwhelming majority against reconciliation. “Ninety-seven per cent of the respondents said they did not want the border reopened,” Yesil said. “Most of the remaining three per cent were members of the pro-government Justice and Development Party.” Murat Karademir, of the opposition Popular Republican Party, also adamantly opposes a rapprochement, describing Igdir as “the door to the Caucasus” – a door, he says, that needed to remain firmly shut in Armenia’s face. “For Armenians, the town represents a path to Europe via Turkey; in a word, it’s a strategic territory,” he said. “Opening this door to Armenians now would mean a catastrophe for Turkey, a threat to its security. “Besides, the PKK is very active in this region; it’s not a secret for anyone that many PKK members are trained in Armenia and the occupied Karabakh. “It is there that terrorists get their wounds treated. Already it’s very difficult to [prevent them going] crossing into Armenia. Unsealing the border would make it still easier for them to move.” Mehmet Aydin, who comes from Alijan and now lives in Igdir, said Ankara had recently made a point of sending envoys to the village to argue for reopening the frontier. “They have been saying, ‘You see how Igdir has evolved from a small village into a town after the border with Azerbaijan was opened. That’s what will happen to Alijan, [if the border with Armenia is unsealed]’. “Some believe in this propaganda and want [it] to be reopened, but most don’t.” But not everyone in Igdir wants the frontier with Armenia to remain shut forever. Ahmet Sahin, a local activist of the Democratic Society Party, believes many businesses in Igdir now idling because of economic difficulties could get back on track if the border was opened. “I’m an entrepreneur myself,“ he said. “The chemical goods produced at my factory have been collecting dust in storage facilities. “What would be wrong if I took my produce to the Armenian market?” “The border should be opened, because there are no jobs in Turkey,” agreed Mehmet Broi, a local teacher. “Trade has shrunk too. Armenia is a profitable territory for us.” The governor of the area, Mehmet Karahisarli, also sounded a note of optimism about the possible reopening of the border. “[This] would stimulate business activity in both Igdir and the entire district,” he told IWPR. But Turkish nationalists continue to reiterate that they will only tolerate seeing the frontier unsealed if Armenia meets a series of conditions. These start with Nagorny Karabakh. “First of all, Armenia has to un-occupy the territories of Karabakh,” Erol said. “Secondly, they should get the genocide demand out of their heads. Thirdly, they should stop asking Turkey for compensation. Fourthly, they should give up their territorial claims regarding Turkey. Fifthly, they should admit to the [February 1992] massacre [of Azeris] in Khojali. “Once the Armenians have met all these conditions, Erdogan and Gul can even become related to [Armenian president Serzh] Sargsian for all we care. “Until they do, we have nothing to talk about.” ссылка

В начале пост-советского пути, товарищ Хосни Мубарак предложил Акопычу отправлять молодых армянских дипломатов на тренинг в Египет. Не знаю что полезного вышло из этой затеи, если не учитывать тот момент что Египет страна-лидер арабского мира. Кстати в свое время когда турки, Моссад и ЦРУ вместе искали Оджалана, Турция начала напрягать воздух в том плане что если Сирия не сдаст им Абдулу, то турки на них войной пойдут. Пришлось Мубараку делать предупреждение туркам что при подобном раскладе они будут воевать уже с Египтом. Вроде успокоились после этого.

A long to-do list awaits diplomacy’s new chief ANKARA - With a Cabinet reshuffle whose new headline talent is "Strategic Depth" with author Ahmet Davutoğlu for foreign minister, Prime Minister Erdoğan signals a search for an expanded role for Turkey in the wider region. Yet a long list of challenges awaits Davutoğlu abroad and at home Comfortable as a behind-the-scenes figure of Turkish foreign policy, Ahmet Davutoğlu will surely need some time to adapt to his new position, which will require a lot of protocol, meeting with press and handling practical problems his ministry faces. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s chief foreign policy adviser, Professor Davutoğlu, was appointed foreign minister late Friday as part of a large Cabinet reshuffle. Despite pressure by Erdoğan, Davutoğlu had always veered away from work in Parliament or the Cabinet as he wanted to return to academia. Author of "Strategic Depth," Davutoğlu was known as the architect of Turkey’s current foreign policy, aiming at making Turkey "a regional and global actor." Davutoğlu to both Gül and Erdoğan When Abdullah Gül was elected president in 2002, Davutoğlu became the chief adviser of the Prime Ministry. He has maintained his post during Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s term, thus known for his close ties with both leaders. He has represented Turkey in many international platforms and took active roles during the European Union talks, Cyprus negotiations and Iraq war. Davutoğlu, who accompanied Gül on his historic visit to Yerevan in September, was also in the forefront of a recent government initiative to normalize relations with Armenia. Davutoğlu came under the spotlight after his secret meeting with Hamas leader Halid Meşal in the winter of 2006. Since then he has gained a reputation for being the upper hand in shaping Turkey’s foreign policy, and is often depicted as the "Shadow Man" or the "Kissenger of Turkish diplomacy" by experts. "Turkey is no longer a country that only reacts to crises, but notices the crises before they emerge and intervenes in the crises effectively and gives shape to the order of its surrounding region," Davutoğlu told reporters Saturday during the handover ceremony. With a stronger foreign policy vision toward the Middle East, Balkans and Caucasus, Turkey will surely expand its role in this mentioned geography, he said. He underlined that the country’s fundamental foreign policy principle of Western orientation will remain the same and that Turkey will continue its efforts to become a part of the EU. His appointment has also been welcomed by many diplomats of the Foreign Ministry. "His appointment is a good one. He has a strategic view and is a theoretician. He knows the presidency, prime ministry and foreign ministry very well and he has direct access to all," a senior Turkish diplomat told the Hürriyet Daily News & Economic Review over the weekend. "But there will also be duties he will not like very much, such as appointments in the ministry and responsibilities concerning the protocol." The diplomat pointed out that Davutoğlu will need to first deal with the domestic problems of the ministry, inherited by his predecessor, to be able to deal with the heavy load of the foreign policy. Appointments to the critical positions and embassies stand at the top of his to-do list. As the tenures of Gürcan Türkoğlu, the president’s foreign policy adviser, and Ali Yakıtal, the prime minister’s adviser are expiring, Davutoğlu should consider who to appoint to these important seats. Furthermore, there are three important general directories, namely Africa and the Caucasus desks and the intelligence and security desk, in the ministry that await an appointment. As part of appointments, Davutoğlu will have to find suitable names to appoint as ambassadors to Oman, Estonia and Switzerland. That is to be coupled with a new general-secretary for the EU as Oğuz Demiralp has also concluded his term. ссылка

Большой вопрос кто и по какому принципу пойдет учится на диплoматов. Прошлый опыт подсказывает что это будут толстолицые дети толстолицых родителей которые вращаются на или около властного олимпа. Один суетливый аодовский активист пришедший на похороны моего дяди, стрелял у меня (мы познакомились за 10 минут до этого) сигареты John Player. В смысле больше чем одну. А через много лет я узнал что Акопыч назначил эту чурку голодушную послом Армении в ведущую европейскую державу. Я чуть было не охерел когда узнал. И вообще старожилы вам раскажут каким мусором Акопыч загрузил армянский МИД. До сих пор аокается. Так что пока понятие армянин-дипломат это что-то вроде чукчи-сиониста.

Russian moves in the Southern Caucasus Only a few days before NATO's military training exercise in Georgia, Russia signed, on Thursday, joint border protection agreements with the former Georgian breakaway republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The agreements were signed in the Kremlin by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Abkhazian President Sergei Bagapsh and South Ossetian President Eduard Kokoity. Under the agreements, Russia will guard and control the Abkhaz and South Ossetian borders, including maritime frontiers. The agreements give effective control of the Georgian borders with the breakaway republics to the Russian forces. So, it is very significant and important. Of course, the signed agreements are the latest moves by Russia to strengthen and consolidate its growing military power in the South Caucasus in general, which is focused presently on Abkhazia and South Ossetia. In fact, Russia has already set up land bases in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which was confirmed by the commander of Russia's ground forces, Gen. Vladimir Boldyrev, on March 20. He said that the so-called fourth and seventh military bases would be ready to host tactical exercises by the end of 2009. In addition to these land bases, Russia is also planning to deploy military aircraft to a base in Abkhazia, near Gudauta. The base in question is the Bombora Air Base, which is the largest military airfield in the Southern Caucasus. Bombora is strategically very important not only because of its four-kilometer-long runway, but also because of its closeness to the sea. In fact, the runway ends less than 100 meters from the sea, allowing aircraft to take off at very low altitudes over the sea and fly undetected by enemy radar in the initial stages of flight. During the war in 2008, Russian airborne troops landed in Bombora and proceeded to western Georgia to fight against the Georgian army. Now, according to various sources, Russia is planning to deploy some 20 aircraft, including a wing of the Sukoy-27s (Flankers in NATO terminology), a squadron of the Sukoy-25s (Frogfoot) attack aircraft and several Antonov-26 (Curl) military transport aircraft. Other than the base in Bombora, Russia is planning to establish a Black Sea naval base in the Abkhaz port of Ochamchire. In fact, this was confirmed by the Abkhaz leader Bagapsh last January. Then he had said no signed treaty existed on the matter, but an agreement was reached that the construction of the base would start this year and it would be done within the framework of a comprehensive treaty on friendship and cooperation. Ochamchire is an important port about 60 kilometers southeast of the Abkhaz capital of Sukhumi, near the cease-fire line established after the last war with Georgia. When stationed there, Russian warships would essentially control the Georgian territorial waters all the way to the Turkish border. In addition to this, the Georgian ports of Poti and Batumi would become very vulnerable in terms of the Russian navy's striking capability from the planned base in Ochamchire. This, of course, would provide Russia with an advantage -- the future intimidation of Georgia. When Ochamchire becomes operational, it will also provide the Russian navy with a new but limited alternative to Sevastopol, the main base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet on the Crimean coast of Ukraine, which wants the Russian navy to quit the base when the bilateral agreement expires in 2017. Ochamchire will be a limited alternative to Sevastopol because it is relatively small; its waters are shallow and it does not have a protected bay. Nevertheless, it will serve as a key forward supply base for the Russian navy, seaborne special troops and marines deployed in the Black Sea region, as well as a strong naval deterrent against Georgia. With the establishment of land, air and naval bases in Abkhazia, including the already present 3,700 Russia troops, Russia clearly aims to consolidate its military muscle in the Southern Caucasus and the Black Sea not only for setting up a credible and formidable deterrence against Georgia, but also to change the balance of power in the region. ссылка
