The Turkish Plot to Swallow Syria Behind the Scenes of Negotiations
While Erdogan seeks to hold meetings with Putin and
Rouhani in relation to Syria every two months, the Turkish occupants are
actively pursuing a policy of assimilation of the Syrian cities captured during
two interventions.
This program of “Turkification” has already been
underway for some time, such as on the twelfth of February, the deputy governor
of the Turkish province Kilis arrived in the Turkish-occupied city of Akhterin,
located in the north of Aleppo province.
Thus, while Turkey is signing the agreements with
Russia relating to the “demilitarized zone” in Idlib, patrolling the
neighborhood of Manbij with the Americans and trying to convince the global
community of the availability of “Kurdish terror of the Kurdistan Workers’
Party (PKK)” in Syria, an insidious occupation is occurred leading to the
merger of the Syrian lands occupied by the Turkish military officers with
Turkey.
What is this if not an act of aggression? All
conversation in explanation of the Turkish occupation related to the alleged
threat from the Kurdish separatism simply does not fit into the logic of what
is happening.
It is the Arab cities that are being assimilated
that by the way finds support among the Americans (it is essential to recall
that Turkey is a NATO member and therefore plays politics subject to the
American conditions).
“The US authorities promise to give help to Turkey,
provided that the current situation in Idlib and Jarabulus is maintained and
the regions in the north-west of Syria are re-established.
The Americans suggest even holding a referendum in
these regions in a few years and, in the case of a positive result, annexing
these regions to Turkey. Washington can support this annexation due to pressure
on the UN”.
An illustrative example of the carte blanche given
to the Turks from the United States in relation to Syria.
Obviously, the attacks from Erdogan and his team
against YPG are just an excuse to justify their illegal presence in Syria.
While the crisis in Idlib and the confusing situation regarding the fate of Rojava
self-proclaimed by the Kurds are continuing, the time will play on the side of
Ankara and its imperial ambitions.
There are a lot of examples of the Turkish plans to
change the local socio-political landscape in Afrin alone. Moreover, if we
mention the examples of other cities in the north of Syria, then the dots are
starting to connect, and it is obvious that the Turks are going to annex the
captured lands of Syria.
For example,
in Al-Bab, the Turks compel to study the history of the Ottoman Empire, and the
Turkish lira and dollar are introduced as the local currency.
As for the so-called “fight against the Kurdish
terrorism”, it should be noted that the Turkish military forces delivered the
attacks precisely at those places where the breakthrough of the Syrian army and
its allies was expected. However, Ankara always “ignores” the place of the real
concentration of YPG forces and its part affiliated with PYD.
It’s all about the true goals. In the case of
Erdogan, his main objective is to settle in the territory of the SAR and
develop an anti-Assad platform with the participation of pro-Turkish refugees,
while forming the future insurgence for the subsequent conflicts. If this time
it was not possible to overthrow Assad, then it does not mean that the objective
is canceled. Apparently, the plans of Erdogan and his team, endless
negotiations with Putin in relation to Syria are a part of the strategy where
it is necessary to kill the clock to wait for the change of the current
leadership of the United States.
According to
the plans of Erdogan, the new team in Washington shall once again give him the
palm in the fight against Assad.
