Sarkis Abu Zeid said that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is adopting the policy of attacking more than one axis at the same time, as in the southern Caucasus, the eastern Mediterranean, especially in Libya and Greece.

He noted that Erdogan is trying to expand Turkish influence and have a role in all these areas, so that it can make settlements and have stakes on more than one level.

Abu Zeid explained in an interview with Hawar News Agency that Turkey is trying recently to fuel the conflict in order to benefit from the conflict and disagreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan due to the presence of Turkish interests with Azerbaijan regarding gas and oil pipelines and other economic interests, and because Armenia has alliances with powers that have conflicts and differences with Turkey.

The Lebanese writer and political analyst pointed out that Ankara is trying to strengthen the role of Azerbaijan and provide human aid and armament, so that it can be in a position of strength when regional and international settlements approach, so that Turkey will have a major role and become able to make bargaining over places that are forced to retreat in particular. In Syria, in return for gains in other countries that have a special strategic interest, Armenia.

Abu Zeid pointed out that the Turkish role aims to restore the glories of the defunct Ottoman Empire and is trying to intervene on more than one front so that it is in a position capable of regional and international settlement, and he said: “Therefore, all these matters will expand and will be awaiting the next settlements, especially after the completion of the American elections and knowing the American trend in the region.
