« TAMING THE LION | Main | Lebanon Needs Stability » Turkey - Syria Nexus
By Micah Halpern
Wednesday April 13, 2005 I've Been Thinking: Today's visit of Turkish President Ahmet Necdet Sezer to Syria is raising eyebrows in certain diplomatic circles. Turkey understands what is going on. Turkey is doing what it must do. Turkey, under its current Prime Minister Tayyip Erodgan, is Islamist oriented. In order to keep the government together, some very important and powerful Muslim forces must be wrestled with. This is the very government that refused to allow US airplanes to take off or fly over Turkish air space during the Iraqi War. But this is what is most important: So what is the positive side of a good relationship between Turkey and Syria? A word to the wise: Do not underestimate the power of intermediaries as a method of exerting diplomatic pressure. 4 June 2017 12:14 PM in Thoughts
