>Summary
>Russia is too weak to oppose to us, Turkish Minister
>for relations with the Turkish republics of the former
>USSR Abdulhaluk Cei said on January 19. This was his
>main argument for the creation of a commonwealth of
>Turkish states, which, he said, will become a union
>between Turkey, "the Ottoman Empire successor",
>Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and
>Turkmenistan.
>
>The Turkish Minister also expressed his hope that, in
>the future, the "Turkish commonwealth" may also
>include Slavic Ukraine and Islamic Iran. "We, the
>Ottoman Empire, ruled these territories for
>centuries," the minister said. He added that Turkey
>should fulfil its historic mission as big brother" to
>the countries of the region.
>
>Most probably, the highest government officials in
>Turkey will not openly support the proposal of Mr.
>Cei. However, in reality, the ideology of pan-Turkism
>has long dominated foreign policy in Turkey. On New
>Years Eve, the Turkish Foreign Minister, Ismail Jem,
>said that at the present moment, the main priorities
>of Turkish external politics are the Caucasus and
>Central Asia. President Demirel's statement that
>followed said that Turkey should become the leading
>country of the region, fighting for peace, stability
>and economic prosperity of all other countries in
>their region of the world.
>
>Apparently, the rivalry of great powers in the
>Caucasus has been exacerbated. And one victim of this
>rivalry may become Armenia, which is the geographic
>obstacle to the creation of a "Turkish commonwealth".
