Vladimir Putin May Form New Anti-Western Alliance, Analyst Says
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s trip to Tehran might be the start of a new anti-Western alliance. This was stated by the director of the Institute for Crisis Studies Marc Almond in an article for the Daily Mail.
“This summit showcases a re-emerging anti-Western, anti-democratic alliance that stretches from the fringes of Eastern Europe to the South China Sea – with Mother Russia at the center. It’s a frightening prospect,” Almond said.
In his opinion, the statement by Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov that Russia and Iran are going to take their bilateral relations to a new level of strategic partnership should be taken as a warning to Western leaders. “There is a growing connection between the two countries. In addition to common enemies in the West, Russia and Iran are developing cooperation in the field of military technologies,” the diplomat added.
In addition, the presence of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the meeting is a serious cause for concern, the author believes. “He has been shifting his interests and politics from Western democracies to Eastern regimes for a long time,” Almond explained.
The Russian leader, along with the presidents of Iran and Turkey, took part in a trilateral summit in Tehran on July 20. Following the meeting of the heads of state adopted a joint statement to strengthen triangular cooperation. Later, observers of the American magazine Newsweek were worried that the visit of the Russian President to Iran strengthens new alliance: Russia—Iran—Syria—China—North Korea.
