Erdogan’s Devastating Game

In fact, it is hard to imagine that such a country might accomplish such a role without being paid a price for playing its role. This price might be paid in advance or later. Without entering into the details of the nature of the possible price in both cases, it is certain that in the case of paying the price in advance there would be no sensitivity particularly regarding the issue of success or failure. However, if the price was paid later and was linked to success, then failure becomes disastrous, especially if the failing role has had as a result in-house consequences and perhaps also international ones that could topple the government involved.

It seems that this second case is the problem faced by Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In case of failure, he would be vulnerable not only to losing all what he was keen to achieve, but also he will be losing his role as a governor, and will find no one to save and/or compensate him.

Erdogan, since the signs of the failure of the conspiracy against Syria started to loom, was trying to push things towards provoking an open war with Syria. Yet, for one reason or another he fears fighting such a war alone, and that is why he is trying to drag the NATO to follow his steps, while the NATO opted so far to exclude this option for obvious reasons. This is making Erdogan more nervous.

In this context, it seems that Erdogan is thinking of one format that he sees possible so that to drag the NATO into his side i.e. to lead Syria to attack the Turkish territories. However, the Syrian logic in the face of Erdogan was all the time clear and explicit. Syria has prepared its forces to confront the Zionist enemy, which occupies part of its territory as it occupies the Palestinian territories, and it is not thinking of making Turkey its enemy instead of the Zionists! Turkey eventually is an Islamic country, and is part of the cultural fabric of the region and not an aggressive artificial settling entity. Even if the Turkish government is now choosing the hostile way of initiative that is logically unjustified, yet the friendly Turkish people, the brethrens, would remain and nothing but their governments would keep on changing along with their changing policies. A war with Turkey, regardless of the winning side, would definitely be a loss that affects the two neighboring peoples. This loss will serve the Zionist enemy and its aggressive expansion plans.
Erdogan certainly understand the motives of the Syrian position well, and is aware that it does not want this war, even if its victory was certain, for victory in such a case would be a loss.

Still, he is not ready to accept this logic, and even this logic provokes him to anger, because it empty him of  excuses and exposes the reality of his aggressive behavior and the motives of this behavior in front of the Turkish people, who refuse in turn to be dragged into a war with brothers, whatever the outcome was. The Turkish people refuse being backed by a foreigner to wage such a war that will inflict harm upon both neighbors in favor of foreign powers. Thus, Erdogan tries by all ways and means to elicit the emotions of the Turkish people, to provoke them to anger, and to make them beat the drums of war, despising the minds of the Turkish citizens and their consciousness. Erdogan, in doing so, is ignoring the fact that addressing the instincts would widen sensitivities between the ethnic and sectarian classes of the Turkish people in a country characterized by pluralism. This might contribute to causing sedition between these components, not to mention the bitter conflict ongoing with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) since more than two decades.

Above all, the Turkish people became aware of the fact that the war on terrorism, in which Erdogan is involved with other Arab and foreign parties against the Syrian people, is a criminal and unjust war. Thus, what matters the Turkish people is to hold their government accountable for its involvement in performing the role of a spearhead and acting as cat’s claw in this war and not to keep up its foolishness.

Moreover, if Erdogan is promoting a new Ottoman era, and is living the illusions of reviving the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish citizens in general understand very well that the old Ottoman Empire was not in its inception belonging to foreigners, but it has fought those foreigners and won victory over them in many incidents. In fact, regardless of all our dissatisfaction on the old Ottoman Empire, the opportunity is in front of Erdogan to make the new Ottoman Empire be a truly Ottoman on. Turkey’s opportunity is to stand by Syria, Iran and the Lebanese and Palestinian resistances to confront the Zionist usurper entity, which has been established at the expense of part of the land that was confiscated by the Western colonialism and stolen from the Ottoman Empire, preparing for this Sultanate in order to enable the Jews to establish their artificial entity in it. This means that the way of performing an acceptable and comprehended role relies in lining up along the axis of resistance in the region and not fighting this axis and conspiring against it.

The first step should be taken based on this logic is to liberate Turkey from the presence of the U.S. military bases or the missile shield system, which was erected to protect the Zionist entity from the Iranian missiles. Had Erdogan chosen such a position, and contributing to liberate the holy Jerusalem had become a target for his policy, the Turkish popular would back him. Choosing the opposite way and sharing the region with Israel under the American auspices, would collide the hopes and aspirations of the Turkish people.

Erdogan is trying to drag the army or the Turkish people into a war with Syria on the grounds that one shell landed inside the Turkish territory, but the Turkish people are aware, as well as the whole world, that Erdogan has led a war on Syria in which thousands and even tens of thousands of shells that came from Turkey were used against the army and the people of Syria. Everyone knows that Erdogan sent dozens of officers to manage attacks against the Syrians, and his government has once admitted that 46 Turkey officers were in the grip of the Syrian authorities.

Everybody is familiar with the fact that Erdogan is responsible along with his government for all the terrorist operations that took place in Syria, and that Turkey is attracting terrorists from everywhere in the world to enter them across the border into the Syrian territory with their number and equipment to commit crimes against the Syrians. As a result, there were tens of thousands of Syrian martyrs. If this is the case and the product of entrepreneurship, which Erdogan pledged to embrace, in what logic then he wants to say that there is no problem in contributing to shedding the Syrian blood. Yet, the problem begins only when one Syrian shell falls inside the Turkish territory in the place that was penetrated by the armed terrorist gangs repeatedly to attack the Syrian city Tel Abyad!

Only God knows who launched it, for it might have been launched by Erdogan’s intelligence, or by the armed gangs that he mobilized in the region. It might have also been part of the reaction of the Kurdish population in the region who are targeted by the attacks. Erdogan, who participated in shedding the Syrian blood repeatedly, rushed to send a complaint to the Security Council and to the leadership of the NATO because of this shell and because of what it caused unfortunately of innocent victims alike all the innocent Syrians who are victims without exception.

Putting things into this unjust equation or balance by Erdogan, reveals in fact his racism, chauvinism, bloodiness, and most importantly anti-Muslim characteristics. This comes even though he claims that he is leading an Islamic party, or that he is committing the massacres in favor of the organizations of the Muslim Brotherhood to enable them to grab the reins in the Arab world. Islam taught us all Arabs and Turks that there is no preference for an Arab over a non Arab except based on piety, and that the Muslims are as a solid structure firmly connected to each other and attached tightly. Why is Erdogan trying since now to promote his Ottoman dominant tendency to bring us back in the memories to the disadvantages of the experience of the Ottoman Sultans? Has the Ottoman caliph of the Muslims, who is immersed in daydreams, decided to start imposing his egotism on the Arabs and the non-Arabs those whom he want them to be nationals in his Sultanate - except those whom he consider as Ottomans originally- since now?

Erdogan’s promotion since now for these corrupt goods reveals the truth about his mentality and madness and that he is exploiting the fate of Turkey. Whatever the type of the promised sharing of the region was between him and Israel, Israel wants the land between the Nile and the Euphrates. In such a case, where would the new Ottoman Sultanate be extended? In theory, when having a quick look at the map of expansion sought by the Zionists we find that Erdogan’s dreams to establish a new Ottoman Sultanate is like Satan’s greediness to enter paradise.

If Erdogan has shown a little ability to think logically and to read the conflict of the wills and the accounts of the powers, he would have realized that just as the project to establish Israel in this region caused the rush against the Western colonialism on the Sultanate of Al-Othman to undermine it during the First World War, enabling Israel to achieve its dream of expansion will make it interested in not keeping a powerful Islamic State next to it, whether this State was an Ottoman or non Ottoman one.

The fragmentation of the area surrounding the “Greater Israel” will continue to guarantee its continuity. Thus, the deadly poison Erdogan trying to give to Syria nowadays would force Turkey to take it in turn in the next phase at the hands of Israel along with the United States and all the member states of NATO.

Turkey by trying to assassinate the strength and unity of Syria is but assassinating the strength and unity of Turkey. Erdogan’s game by all standards is a devastating game; its destructive danger does not only affect Syria alone but also affects Turkey. Those who find it difficult to understand easily should realize that the patterns of provocation, blackmail, sabotage, destruction and killing, such as those practiced by Erdogan and his partners nowadays may lead us to a time when things become imperceptible in mind.

At that moment, Turkey and other countries involved in the plot will not only face the problem of stray shelling, but will all face the problem of the devastating humanitarian recklessness when good men become forced to face fierce monsters that are lacking any sense of humanity. Erdogan’s game is a devastating one and Syria would impossibly be the only victim and others would not be kept away from it.
