Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia pursue anti-Armenian policy in the region, Dashnak presidential candidate says

Tehran-Yerevan-Moscow axis is of great importance for Armenia, APA reports. Ovanesyan said that formation of Ankara-Baku-Tbilisi geopolitical axis is observed at present.
â€œThis does not meet Armeniaâ€™s interests. The action of Ankara, Baku and Tbilisi reveals the hegemony in the region. Actually, all the three countries pursue anti-Armenian policy in the region,â€ he said.
The presidential candidate also touched on Armenia-NATO relations. According to him, NATO does not mean France, Belgium or Greece for Armenians, but Turkey, which does not conceal its hostile attitude towards Armenia. Ovanesyan said that according to the results of sociological survey, the number of those who want Armenia to enter NATO is more compared with those who do not want it. Underlining that this position is not everlasting, Ovanesyan said like in all societies views often change in Armenian society too.
Dashnaksâ€™ candidate does not consider Armeniaâ€™s accession to NATO expedient and again underlines that NATO member state Turkey pursues anti-Armenian policy in the region. /APA/
