The Ottomans are back in the region , forget about middle.html" target="_blank">the tribes of Qatar , we are talking here about Turkey , one of the real biggest powers in the Middle East which for too long suffered alienation from the Arab nations thanks to its alliance with Israel.I think one of the greatest achievements of the Islamists is that they managed to make Turkey return back to the arena as neutral power , yes they were always considered a player in the middle East , but a Pro-Western Pro-Israeli player ,not Arabs friendly. They managed to become Syria's friends after years of hate , after all Iskenderun is still under the Turkish rule and the Water dispute is still there . They managed to become Syria's neutral friend and its connection to the West when all Syria's sisters in the region abandoned it, how they managed to do so ??
In very simple words : Strategic alliance .
Syria and Turkey went over their disputes to form a strategic alliance in order to meet the coming challenge or dangers on their door : The Kurds.
The Kurds want a Piece of Syria and a Piece of Turkey ,at last the two countries woke up and saw that they are facing the same danger of being cut in bits and Piece , especially after the invasion of Iraq ,the new talk of the New Middle East and the actual movement taken by the Kurds to form their own states. The United States expressed directly and indirectly that it does not want another Baath region in the area and it included Syria in the axis of evil club.
Turkey needed to have both Iran and Syria on its side and this was easy, the danger is going to harm everybody.
Of course things got better when the Islamists took the role in Turkey ,and opposite to the past secular and leftist governments , their ideologies make them closer to their Arab Islamic neighbours , they remind me with Necmettin Erbakan “May Allah bless his soul” and how he tried to come closer to the Arab world. It turned out that it is in their sake and in Turkey’s best interest.
Already I admire so much the foreign policies of Turkey now because for the first time there is a balance in everything.They are Islamists but they are open to the West at the same they respect their constitution , at the same they did not give up their believes and principles
Turkey has one important thing that differs it from the Pro-West allies in the region which is that the policy makers now put the Turkish interest the first place .
Good for Syria that it has won Turkey for its side , Turkey reminds me with Egypt , yes it is an alley that could turn against it but thank goodness that geopolitics is in their side. Already Syria had done stupid mistake in the past by supporting the Kurdistan Workers Party”PKK” thanks to its dispute on Water resources “Tigris River” , Al Assad SR should know better that the PKK calls for Kurdistan with parts from his country ,he thought that his iron role would make them fear but nothing stays as the same ; well it was not his only mistake.
Turkey now is replacing the Egyptian place in the Syrian-Israeli Negotiations that failed ,this shows how the Syrians now trust the Turks more than the Egyptians unfortunately.
BY the way in Syria the Books of geography and history Iskenderun is now officially a Turkish territory and the Water problem seems to running so smoothly
Still this alliance can be doomed if the Islamists are eliminated , hopefully this won’t happen , I like the current Turkey .
Turkey chose Syria over the EU in order to please the Muslim hordes. They effectively slit their own throat. Compare Syria's allies to any nation in the EU. Where would you rather live? Nice choice, retards.
ReplyDelete@jdamn13, I think you do not know that Turkey in the time of the Islamists is too close to join the EU
ReplyDeleteWhat I assume you were trying to say in broken English is that Turkey is too close to joining the EU in order for the EU to not accept them. Turkey will never join the EU because the EU will never allow a supposedly secular but actually sharia-light government which restricts the movement of women, does not allow the most basic rights and freedoms, and refuses to punish honor killers and slave-onwers/traders/sellers. Basically they would have to cease being Muslim and declare Constanatinople the capital before that would happen. Germany in particular has dealt with more than enough of the fallout from their medieval, intolerant culture, and has witnessed firsthand the sorts of atrocities that are sanctioned there every day, and its long-term effects. Dream on, sister. They're a secular government like Egypt is a secular government. It's a one-party system backed by the military. It's totalitarian and medieval and the EU will NEVER accept them, nor will the free world at large.
