Aleppo announces the end of the regional Turkey … it votes in France

Written by Nasser Kandil,

Within two sequent days the Syrian army and the allies succeeded in a sudden accelerated way in resolving tens of the neighborhoods in the eastern of Aleppo recording a qualitative military development that equals half of the victory’s way and the acceleration of the second half. The debate at any level is no longer related to the status of Aleppo in the war on Syria even if the voices of denial emerge to depreciate the status of Aleppo after they raised it to a position that equals the whole war. Aleppo is the second capital of Syria but it is the gate of the regional role of Turkey. Simply it can be said that without the Turkish role in the war on Syria there was no war. Turkey has changed the course of war by the force of geography and by the motive of  illusions till it can be said that as Turkey was the key of the war on Syria, Aleppo is the key of the Turkish role.

It was clear that since the Turkish retreat in order to normalize the relations with Russia, the Ottoman Turkey has faded without return and there was an attempt of rehabilitation in Ankara to draw the Turkish regional role in the region. The result was not realistic it based on the pretention to be clever and arrogance due to the assumption of the ability to grab a role in Syria and Iraq entitled an influence that affects Mosul and Aleppo, so it has moved and intervened on that basis. The Turks along with the Qataris have tried till the last moment to support the armed groups in Aleppo, as they have tried to make Al Bab city a goal for their armies publicly; moreover they planned to create a similar scene in Mosul, they made Tal Afar one of their red lines, but what has happened and what is going to happen in Aleppo says that the starting of the end of the Turkish regional role will be awesome, because there is no longer humility in the demands and aspirations till it became an outcome of an equation either winning everything or losing everything, here it is towards losing everything. Turkey might be the saver which ends the battle in Aleppo politically by announcing the exit of Al Nusra front and the joining of the other groups, knowing that all of them belong to Ankara from Ahrar Al Sham to the group of Nour Din Zanki to the system of the truce, but now all of them are crushed and dismantled along with the regional role of Turkey.

With the loss of the bet on Aleppo where the Turks said that it is a war of a year at least and after putting red lines that prevent Turkey from progressing towards Al Bab city and the same towards Tal Afar. Turkey becomes a décor in the equations of the region; after the Muslim Brotherhood has become a décor as well in the scene of the terrorism which is led by Al-Qaeda organization. Now the Turkish government is seeking for an honorable solution from Moscow after it was prevented from progressing towards Al Bab and a similar solution for preventing it towards Tal Afar and Mosul from Tehran, by announcing the understanding on sticking to the unity of Syria and Iraq, and accepting applying the items of the security understanding with China by making the leader of Uighur group the responsible of the extremists of the Chinese descent.

Meantime, while France was witnessing the resounding news coming from Aleppo announcing the victories of the Syrian army, it was waging the elections of choosing the presidential candidate for the center-right who will probably become the new President of France. Between Alain Juppe and Francois Fillon and despite the intergradation between economy and politics Syria was the crossroad, Juppe wanted the traditional slogans like his predecessors as Hillary Clinton in America; the hostile position against Syria and the nonsense speech about a war on terrorism without a cooperation with Russia and without a coordination with the Syrian country, as well as sticking to the Syrian opposition which everyone knows that it is just a purse for filling the militants of Al-Qaeda organization, while Fillon is as Donald Trump through his harsh populist racist national speech calling to get out of hypocrisy and arrogance, and to stick to the French interests in confronting the terrorism and a solution for the flow of the refugees. This means the preparation to coordinate with the Syrian country and its army. So the victory in Aleppo is a golden vote for Fillon at the ballot boxes.

Syria formulates the equations of the new world in a race between savage globalization that globalizes the terrorism and a harsh nationalism through which the nations and the people reevaluate their considerations and reposition behind the lines of the obvious interests not behind the illusions and the imperial dreams under false slogans entitled democracy, which its promotion is funded by the Gulf countries and which are waged by virtual armies entitled oppositions which do not form more than fabricated banners made to cover the issue of giving the security of the Mediterranean Sea to Al-Qaeda organization. While the obvious national interests say that the way for resolving the crisis of the flow of the displaced people is by the recovering of the Syrian country and getting rid of terrorism. As the savage globalization was passing through destroying the walls of Syria and its solid structures to ensure the passage of oil and gas pipelines even under the guarding of Al-Qaeda, the rising harsh cross-world nationalism which means the globalized seems that it has a mandatory way, it is supporting the recovering of Syria, the national country, because solving the issue of the refugees in Europe and the prevention of sending the terrorism to its capitals reflect the common European nationalisms and pass by enhancing the Syrian nationalism and supporting it to be a solid barrier that protects the social and the political security of the West
