Turkey-Israel relations have a long history, leading Russian political analyst Mikhail Aleksandrov told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

He noted this responding to the remark on these two countries’ plans to implement joint economic projects.

In Aleksandrov’s words, due to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s policy of neo-Ottomanism, there was some cooling in Turkey-Israel relations in recent years.

“[But] their interests coincide on the ISIS issue,” the analyst noted. “[And] in this context, it’s no coincidence that strategic cooperation has been restored between Israel and Turkey.”

As per Mikhail Aleksandrov, even though Israel could provide some military technology to Turkey, this cannot considerably upset the balance of power in this region, and in Turkey’s favor.

“As before, Russia will maintain its military superiority over Turkey,” the analyst added. “So, Armenia doesn’t particularly have much to fear. However, the Ankara-Tel Aviv axis poses some threat to Armenian interests.”
