A series of terrorist attacks and attacks on Turkey in recent years are due to the geopolitical situation and the processes around Turkey. This applies to the events in Syria, LIH activities, as well as the PKK. In addition, the attacks are directly related to the aggravation of Ankara's relations with some countries. Such an opinion in an interview with “Cetin sual” (Difficult question) Program of the Turan agency expressed the head of the Center for Security Studies, a former lieutenant colonel of the Ministry of National Security of Azerbaijan Ilham Ismail, commenting on yesterday's terrorist attack at the Istanbul airport "Ataturk".
The last act of terrorism is an integral part of the policy of pressure on Ankara. According to the former counter-intelligence, those who order the terrorist attack skillfully use the political situation, when the attack can be attributed to several forces - LIH, the PKK, radical Islamists within Turkey.
The expert did not rule out that the attack is related to the normalization of Turkey's relations with Israel and Russia.
"It can be a message of that normalization of relations will not save Turkey, and it will remain vulnerable," said Ismail, adding that no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
Are the global efforts enough to combat terrorism? Ismail gave a negative response to this question, saying that these efforts are not enough. "Real interaction of the world players would make possible to stop LIH very quickly. However, different interests of the leading players in the world politics, does not allow the global fight against terrorism, or makes it ineffective," said Ismail.
He believes that Turkey's response will be tough, because at stake is the national security of Turkey has suffered enough. Regarding the fight against Kurdish terrorists of the PKK, Ismail said that in addition to military action against the militants is necessary to strengthen the work with healthy Kurdish politicians and make them allies in the fight against terror.
As for the situation in Azerbaijan, the supporters of terror in the country are very little, and most of them went to the Middle East. Nevertheless, the security services have to be vigilant and conduct the relevant work to prevent the spread of radicalism in the country and prevent possible terrorist attacks, Colonel said.–06D-
