Real Turkey, original program by Ani Avetyan on Alpha News, tackles the most pressing issues shaping the region and Armenia today.
In this episode:
🔹 Turks have noticed the map pinned to Pashinyan’s chest: will he be able, on June 7, to impose on Armenians his own vision of a “real Armenia”, the one he himself and the Turks have in mind?
🔹 Armenian youth think more about money and visas, while Turks are taught to seize land and turn it into a homeland: an assignment given to Turkish journalists who arrived in Yerevan.
🔹 Turkey’s vice president reveals the backstory behind the agreements to repair the Ani Bridge.
🔹 Turkey, Azerbaijan and the West want Pashinyan to win the election and are now saying so openly and without embarrassment.
🔹 An interview with Yadgar Soran, a prominent Kurdish scholar, political scientist, journalist, translator and professor of English literature at Soran University in Iraqi Kurdistan: “Turkey today is the same as it was a hundred years ago, it promotes Turkish supremacy and seeks to assert it.”
