A major confrontation between Russia and Turkey together with Japan will determine the fate of smaller neighbor countries, philosopher and political scientist Sergey Kurginyan said on May 31 on the program Conversation with a Sage on the Zvezda radio station.
The political scientist noted that today Russia successfully maintains good relations with Turkey, and tactically this is very good, but the situation will be changing.
The expert noted that he does not really want to repeat the stereotype that “the British are playing their dirty tricks,” but generally speaking the Turkish game is the UK’s game. “And this game will ultimately become radically anti-Russian in about five years. Every year is precious for us,” Kurginyan stressed.
The political scientist explained that in five years Russia “will have to clash not only with Turkey but with Japan as well.”
In order to win, Russia by that time has to strategically regroup and to build a three-million army spending 20% of its GPD on defense.
“If we win we will decide on our own what kind of governments they [in Georgia, Armenia] will have and who the pro-Russian Armenians and pro-Russian Georgians are,” the political scientist stressed.
Kurginyan referred to a historical example of how Soviet party official Mikhail Frunze dealt with this kind of issues.
“Frunze came to Middle Asia, and he said that he had a task to support the Middle Asian proletariat against feudalism and capitalism. But he was told there was no Middle Asian proletariat,” the political scientist noted.
Frunze resolved this class dilemma in a very simple way, the philosopher reminded.
“He said, who support the Russians here? The answer was: they do. – And who is against the Russians” – These ones. – Well, the ones who support the Russians will be the proletariat, Frunze said. And against the capitalists, who are against the Russians, we will use heavy artillery to destroy their kishlaks,” Sergey Kurginyan reminded.
The political scientist stressed that in fact Frunze pursued hard-line “classical Russian imperial policy” in Middle Asia. Sooner or later Russia will have to return to it, the philosopher believes.
“But now, in our current situation, we must watch this complicated Transcaucasian game, which involves not only Turkey, but also Iran,” Kurginyan noted.
