The writer and journalist Mohsen Awad Allah told Hawar news agency that Ankara wants to shape the Middle East according to its own interests, considering that the Turkish threat to the Arab countries is much greater than the Iranian threat, but the Arab countries do not realize this.

Turkey's goal from providing the terrorists in the Arab countries with weapons

Awad Allah pointed out that Turkey wants to re-formulate the Middle East and form the region in accordance with its interests and ideology by spreading chaos and instability in the region through the factions supported by the Turkish money and weapons. Ankara believes that it can manufacture through these militias countries that correspond to its desires, and it believes in its Ottoman authority. Erdogan does not realize that the time of the Sultanate had been over and that there are states with sovereign that must be respected.

Awad Allah made clear, "The bet of Erdogan and the Turkish regime on terrorism and the terrorists as a means to achieve Turkish interests will fail. If the world has turned a blind eye to the Turkish sponsorship of the terrorist groups in Syria, it will not prolong and soon the magic will turn on the magician."

The Arab countries' attitude towards the Turkish practices

Mohsen Awad Allah regretted the Arab positions towards the games played by the Turkish state in the court of the Arab countries. He said, "Unfortunately, some Arab countries do not realize the seriousness of the Turkish interventions and practices in the region. I do not know if this is ignorance or deliberate. It is clear that the role played by Turkey in favor of the West makes the focus on its practices secondary to the Arabs perhaps because of the Western pressure, while the Arab focus is placed on the Iranian practices in the region in light of America's persistent attempt to instill a state of fear among the Arabs with an Iranian plan to break up the Arab countries and to bring them down."

Awad Allah stressed that Turkey's policy in the Arab countries, especially in Syria is no more than Iran's policy since it controls a large sector of Syria, but what the Arabs must know is that the Turkish practices are no less serious than Iran's policies in the Middle East. Iran has not occupied Arab countries, while Turkey controls a large sector of northern Syria and has already taken over the Syrian Iskenderun area and annexed it to the Turkish state. Turkey also has military forces and armed militias in Syria and does not hesitate to carry out military strikes in Iraq periodically.

Regarding Syria's return to the Arab League and the reopening of the Arab embassies, Awad Allah said, "It is not normalization with the Damascus government, as much as it is a consolidation of relations with Moscow. In my view, Moscow plays a major role in reintegrating the Assad regime into the Arab Union in accordance with the final plan for the political solution to the Syrian crisis."

On the role played by Russia in Syria, the writer and journalist Mohsen Awad Allah said that Moscow currently controls the file of the Syrian crisis in full, especially after the US decision to withdraw from northern Syria, and it seeks to start a political solution and lift the siege on the Assad regime by putting pressure on its Arab allies to normalize its relationship with Damascus as evidenced by the visit of the Sudanese President Omer al-Bashir to Damascus, which took place in a Russian military aircraft."

At the end of his speech, the writer and journalist Mohsen Awad Allah said, "Damascus' return to the Arab League is inevitable and may be discussed at the next summit of Tunis."
