Turkey’of the Syria’His demeanor is very clear. Terrorist army, terrorist organization on the border, that is PKK/PYD/YPG’he doesn’t want it. Therefore, too Syria’He is in favor of territorial integrity, not disintegration, and plays his cards face up. In this context, he has made very critical moves on the field and at the table so far. In the current new process Turkey with Syria directing the already existing bilateral relations between the intelligence services, and even Assad There is even talk of the possibility of meeting with him. In this sense, another point that is spoken the most is the existence between the two countries. Adana Consensus’activation of. Of course, by making some additions and updates to the existing agreement. Adana Consensus’the importance of the Syria in joint work with Turkey side of Head of the Committee (2007-2011), former Chief of General Staff Intelligence Em. Lieutenant General Ismail Hakki Pekinexplains:
“The Adana Consensus is a protocol in favor of Turkey. When it was in effect, we were holding meetings and preparing reports by going back and forth every six months. Among them were the extraditions of PKK terrorists. They returned them all, closed the camps, extinguished their financial resources. When they operated near our borders, they were informing us about their plans. The last time I took them to the MIT when they arrived in 2011, they explained in detail the operations to be carried out against terrorism on the map.”
If the Adana Agreement comes into force, will the problem be resolved?
“It can be solved. It will most likely be resolved. The issue of the fight against terrorism is resolved, but the real problem there is how do we get the USA out? What will happen to the PKK/YPG/PYD there? A slightly expanded version of the Adana Agreement, for example, now there is the threat PKK/YPG, they are outside our 30-kilometer security line, even if they are beyond it, they have to get out of there. Turkey should be provided with the opportunity to carry out operations there, as in Iraq. This job can be made more convenient with minor modifications. This relieves Turkey’s hand and strengthens Syria’s hand. Ultimately, we will fight the PKK/YPG. When we do, Assad’s central government will inevitably get a little stronger…”
What about the USA?
“What we need to do is to come to an agreement with Russia, Iran, Syria, and get the USA out of there, just like in Afghanistan. However, the problem is that Russia says ‘these men should come under the Syrian army. Of course, when the autonomous region is mentioned, the subject goes as far as Afrin. This is a big threat and it has to be dispersed somehow. Convincing the USA depends on some conditions. With the Adana Agreement, Turkey, together with Syria, can pressure the United States to get out of there much more comfortably.
well Assad meeting with, Adana Consensus’It is critical to contribute to the solution, and it is even late, because the main interests in foreign policy. Therefore, the determination to be permanent in the region USA’of the PKK/YPG/PYD love, more USA with Russia Although they seem to dislike each other, considering the possibility of a sharing agreement between them, the question that comes to mind is:
Turkey Euphrates Shield, Olive Branch, Peace Spring What would have happened if he had not carried out his operations, and those safe zones had not been established? Beijing, continues:
“At that time, there was no chance of removing the USA at all, and we would not have a strong hand in the Astana process. Why is he strong now? There are people trained by Turkey in those lands, behind them a group of almost 80-90 thousand people. Turkey has a huge weight, having opened schools and hospitals there and spent money. Therefore, they cannot remove that weight and do anything. There were critics at the time, but those operations were essential. I wish we could finish it, we could go as far as Kamışlı. Because their connections with Iraq would be cut off, Turkey would control the main supply route. Removing the Tomb of Süleyman Shah was the biggest mistake. Let’s not get involved, let’s not get into the Syrian swamp, there was a plan, but no one could calculate that we would be in trouble whether we entered or not. Maybe we wouldn’t have a say in Syria now…”
In summary; Turkey With these operations carried out with great determination within a comprehensive plan, Syria’He changed the equation with many unknowns step by step and broke the dirty game. Now it’s time to solve the equation completely… So USA The moment of decision in terms of whether to give up the terrorist patronage in terms of…
