Turkey creates chaos, seeks opportunities to divide Syria with "fait accompli"

ALAN ROJ / NEWS DESK

Idlib was the station of the new Syrian regime, led by Russia and Iran in the military and political fields, after emptying the last pocket of the so-called Syrian opposition supported by Turkey in the south of the country and al-Gouta al-Shamiya, through reciprocal deals between the Russians and Turks on Afrin.

The two have benefited from the deal, Russia extended its control more in the country and became the owner of the border with Jordan and Israel also, which are allies of Britain, and also caused dispersion between the West and NATO on the other hand, especially between Turkey and America, but Turkey has benefited from beating the Kurds in line with its project to exterminate them in various ways.

But Erdogan sought to make concessions one after the other to Russia to delay the process of handing over Idlib and discuss the new constitution in the country, so a tripartite meeting between Russia, Turkey and Iran then a meeting between Russia and Turkey in Sochi to agree temporarily on the "Demilitarized" areas in Idlib and the western countryside of Aleppo

With the growing resentment on one hand and the Russian pressure on Turkey on the other hand, Erdogan was in an awkward position and floundering in his decisions, so he has resorted to a summit in Istanbul in order to ease and try to win from both sides, the results of this meeting did not appear, which gathered France, Germany, Russia and Turkey, It is clear that Turkey began to create chaos on the border in eastern Euphrates protected by Syrian Democratic Forces SDF and the International Alliance.

American activist and writer Meredith Tax commented on the meeting and the movement of the countries concerned in the situation in Syria and saw that Turkey was doing only actions satisfy Russia only to disperse the West. Saying "If Germany and the US are distracted and want to benefit from any credibility obtained from Khashikji 's investigation, Erdogan sees how much he can evade by sending planes and striking with the snipers Rojava  and North Syria and pleased Putin. This makes the West look bad and divided, and Russia hopes that the bombing will encourage Rojava to bow to al-Assad "But I do not think there is a coordinated plan."

Meredith sees Germany and America too busy with local elections, as Merkel lost a lot during the election campaign and Trump rallies on the Mexican border and threatens Latin America ahead of the congress elections, which may make him face to face with Pentagon leaders. On this basis, Meredith concentrates in saying that if Turkey tried to provoke the US military in North Syria and its allies of the Syrian Democratic Forces SDF, Trump will not be able to alienate his army more than what he did now and there will be movement in this regard.

Dr. Kamiran, a professor at the University of Sussex "The policy of the European countries (France and Germany in particular) towards Syria and Turkey is determined through their domestic policies on the one hand and the interests of the other, on the domestic level, the governing governments of France and Germany can not afford a new influx of refugees. Turkey knows this and uses this situation, as in the past, to extract diplomatic and political concessions from Europe. "

He added "The main concession that Turkey is seeking to achieve here is the international silence of these countries with regard to Turkey's attempts to destroy the democratic autonomy project in North Syria." With increasing friction between the West and Russia, especially after the withdrawal of the US from the Treaty on Nuclear Powers with Russia INF, European countries are also trying to keep Turkey out of Russian orbit as much as possible, so it is probable that Turkey will accept Turkey's demands for Rojava, so I do not think there is necessarily an agreement to strike the Kurds. But there is an agreement between France and Germany that Turkey can do so with punishment.

In conjunction with the violations by the Turkish occupation army on North Syria and the targeting of stone and human beings in the border areas, the leadership of the Operations Room of the Battle to defeat terrorism campaign to eradicate IS in its last pocket in on the banks of the eastern Euphrates

The United States expressed its concern and dissatisfaction with Turkey's actions that would influence the counterterrorism operations in the area and stressed its continued support for Syrian Democratic Forces SDF and that it would calm the situation and then run joint patrols with the Syrian Democratic Forces on the border line in Kobani, Girê Spî and Serê Kaniyê to monitor the situation.

With all this acceleration of the events in North Syria, observers see that Turkey is trying to move to create chaos in order to delay the solution to hand over Idlib and exit from Syria, and looking for opportunities later to make everyone satisfied with the situation in Idlib, Afrin and al-Shahba and take Syria to partition.
