أونان يكشف عن الأسباب الخفية لإصرار تركيا على التقارب من النظام السوري

Jan 02 2023

آرك نيوز.. أكد سياسي كوردي من كوردستان تركيا بأن تركيا تريد استغلال أي حرب في المنطقة والعالم لصالحها, وخير مثال عندما تأزم الوضع في مصر واليمن وليبيا, حاولت تركيا لعب دور رئيسي فيها, ولكنها فشلت في هذه السياسة, ومنذ حوالي 4 سنوات تعمل تركيا على إعادة علاقاتها مع الدول الإقليمية.
خلال مشاركته في نشرة راديو ريباز الإخبارية قال السياسي الكوردي الدكتور فؤاد أونان بأن هدف تركيا من التقارب مع النظام السوري هو لإعادة هيمنتها على الطرق التجارية للطاقة في البحر المتوسط, لأنها أدركت بأن هناك خطر حقيقي يحدق بهيمنة الدولة التركية على الطرق التجارية للطاقة إلى أوربا, وخاصة بعد تحالف " إسرائيل , اليونان , مصر , فرنسا " ومحاولة إيجاد طرق بديلة لإيصال الطاقة إلى أوربا.

وأضاف أونان: بعد الحرب الروسية الأوكرانية, وقطع الغاز الروسي عن معظم دول الاتحاد الأوربي, بدأ الاتحاد الأوربي بالبحث عن مصادر بديلة للطاقة في الشرق الأوسط, ولأن تركيا عارضت موقف الاتحاد الأوربي بخصوص الحرب الروسية الأوكرانية, ولم تتخذ موقفا حازما من روسيا, يريد الاتحاد الأوربي ابعاد تركيا من المعادلة باكملها, لذلك تصر تركيا على التقارب مع النظام السوري لضمان وجود دور لها في عملية نقل الطاقة إلى أوربا.

وأضاف الدكتور فؤاد أونان: ومن أهداف تركيا أيضا من التقارب هو طمس وقمع القضية الكوردية في سوريا.
