Turkey carries out its own game in Syria – Expert on Turkish studies

Turkey carries out its own game in Syria – Expert on Turkish studies

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS. Expert on Turkish studies Anush Hovhannisyan says today Turkey has started its own game in Syria.

“Of course, Turkey’s recent invasion to the Syrian city of Jarabulus was a result of certain agreements since without the awareness of the US and especially Russia, Turkey could not carry out that operation. Starting from the moment when Russia secured its presence in Syria forming an air space, it was impossible to carry out any air operation in that space, but Turkey conducted that operation also through the help of military aircraft which was impossible without mutual agreements with Russia. The operation was carried out on August 24 when US Vice President Joe Biden was in Turkey where he confirmed that the operation is agreed with the allies. But it is difficult to say the same on the developments of Syria in the last two days”, she said, “Armenpress” reported.

She said according to that agreement Turkey must not go beyond Jarabuus, but it has already started military operations in the region south from Jarabulus.

“If the reactions towards the first operations were quite restrained, then by the end of August Russia expressed its concern over these developments, various US representatives issued critical warning statements, Iran also condemned those acts. This means that Turkey is trying to play its own game in Syria and create a tangle in this already difficult situation”, she said.

Anush Hovhannisyan said although official Turkey says its main goal is to fight against the “Islamic State” terrorist group, it, in reality, fights against Kurds.
