Intellectuals: Ankara, Baghdad agreement poses great danger to Iraq, Syria
Intellectuals from the Canton of Raqqa warned that the agreements between Turkish state and the Iraqi negatively affect the Iraqi and Syrian people.
Intellectuals from Raqqa believe that these agreements pose a great danger to Iraq and Syria.
"Turkey is trying to occupy new parts of Iraqi territory through some agreements with the Iraqi government," said Shawakh al-Ali, the member of the Union of Intellectuals and a human rights activist.
He stressed that "these agreements pose a great danger to Iraqi and Syrian territories, and their goal is to fight all forces that are trying to establish the Democratic Nation Project."
Al-Ali pointed out: "The occupying Turkish state is trying to export its internal crises to neighboring countries by concluding suspicious deals with them, and these deals have a political impact on the ground and threaten regional security in the region, especially Iraqi and Syrian security."
The Co-Chair of the Culture Body in Raqqa, Hassan Mustafa, said: "The discussions that took place between Turkey and Iraq, resulted in several agreements in the political, economic, military and border aspects, and these agreements did not come out of nowhere, but rather their goal is to strengthen cooperation between the two countries."
Mustafa stressed that "the real content of these agreements is to strengthen the blatant Turkish presence, and we see that the Iraqi government is working for the Turkish occupation state and foreign and regional interventions."
Mustafa explained, "The aim of these agreements is to strengthen the Turkish presence and benefit from the geographical and demographic situation in Iraq, as it is a link between Turkey and the Arabian Gulf, so it is keen to develop this cooperation."
Mustafa pointed out that "Turkey seeks to pressure the Syrian side and the regions of NE Syria, due to its colonial goals."
