Esclusivo: la Sharaa siriana per discutere del patto di difesa con l’Erdogan della Turchia, dicono le fonti

>The pact could see Turkey establish new air bases in Syria, use Syrian airspace for military purposes, and take a lead role in training troops in Syria’s new army, the sources said.

>An official in Syria’s presidency told Reuters that Sharaa would discuss Turkey’s “training of the new Syrian army, as well as new areas of deployment and cooperation” with Erdogan, without specifying the deployment locations.

You know, this sort of got me thinking. A lot of Turks have said that Erdogan has eroded the secular and republican structures of the state through constitutional reform, military purges, using refugees to change demographic structures, and eroding the Turkishness of Turkey.

Let’s say these motivations are definitely true, and that they’re also unpopular with the people, coupled with greater resistance.

Now, I’m not saying this is the case, but if I were Erdogan, it would be very convenient to have a trained and armed ‘second army’ next door to Turkey. We know that even after the purges he still doesn’t trust the military. If something were to happen one day, these Syrian guys could always be funneled across the border to do dirty work.

With Assad gone, will refugees return to Syria?

The first former terrorist in the world

Well, at least they’re not going with Russia yet.

From wanted terrorist to President. Fact.
