What does Erdogan’s advisor see about Damascus?
Officials of Erdogan’s government and the media under the command of the Turkish ruling party are constantly talking about trying to normalize Ankara-Damascus relations. But it is still not clear what the Turkish government, headed by the Justice and Development Party, has a road map to compensate for past mistakes and withdraw from the wrong decisions and actions that deepened the Syrian crisis.
Ibrahim Kalan, Erdogan’s spokesman and the head of the foreign policy and national security advisors team in the presidential institution, is known as the closest person to the president. In an English interview with CNN, he expressed some points that show that Ankara still has not clarified its duty with the sensitive issues of Syria and is projecting. A brief review of the words of the head of Erdogan’s advisory team will enable Turkey’s political approach to Syria and the normalization of Ankara-Damascus relations.
Turkey looking for propaganda and linking Ukraine to Russia
The words of Erdoğan’s close adviser on Turkey’s foreign policy are on a path that shows, first of all, the position of the propaganda maneuver in Erdoğan’s team. Ebrahim Kalen, like many other Turkish politicians, is strongly seeking to promote the name of Turkey as a country that mediates diplomacy. In this way, he exaggerates as if all the problems of Russia and Ukraine have been solved with the tact and mediation of Erdogan, and the solution of the problems of Turkey and Syria is also possible based on the friendship between Erdogan and Putin!
