Turkey is besieged, Saudi Arabia is lame….. and Kerry is lying
Written by Nasser Kandil,
The war alliance on Syria is unenviable because of the situation it has reached, Turkey which is the striking force in this alliance and which was the supporter, the sanctuary, the secure shelter and the fiery cover for everyone who wants to shoot fire in Syria especially the branches of Al-Qaeda and its variations, today it does not know from where it gets the slap till it becomes as a crushed stick, Turkey the sultanate and the Ottoman mania which the genius engineer of its foreign polices was not content with the breaching of his promises, but also he has turned the zero enmities with the neighborhood to zero neighbors, furthermore he will drag his country to an open war across the borders, Turkey was insolent toward Iran, and Iran is threatening of deterrent response , Iraq warns Turkey to withdraw its troops from its territory before it bombs them by its planes and chased its fighters, In Syria there is a state of war on the borders and on those who infiltrated form the intelligence of Turkey inside the borders, furthermore there is a tension on the borders with Greece, and the stopping of flights in anticipation of danger, while with the borders with Russia the situation is waiting for a match to ignite, and the straits which were a source of grace become a source of cruse whenever a Russian ship passes.
Saudi Arabia is obliged to accept the negotiations about Yemen, and asks its Yemeni representative Mansour Hadi to change his Minister of Foreign Affairs , to activate the negotiate, and to accept ceasing-fire on the eve of going to Genève on the mid of this month. The Saudi intension of ceasing-fire is known, it is to bargain its raids against the Yemeni cities and towns in return of stopping the infiltration inside the Saudi borders by the Yemeni army and the popular committees, on the other hand, Saudi Arabia calls the Syrian opposition which has lived in Paris and Istanbul hotels by the Saudi money to have a paper of strength before the meeting of Vienna’s path, but it has got a French-American slap entitled the departure of the Syrian President is not a condition for the political settlement, because the war on terrorism requires the cooperation of the Syrians under the leadership of the President Al-Assad, so it discovers that it has not even a handkerchief to wipe the tears of disappointment.
Washington which wanted to help has complicated the situation, the US Secretary of State John Kerry wants to absorb the impacts of his words about the cooperation of the Syrians under the leadership of the President Al-Assad, so he uttered a speech about a Russian position that is ready to accept the departure of the Syrian President after the transitional phase, then he got a lesson about courtesies and the diplomatic assets from his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, through which he told him that you are lying, neither me nor my President Vladimir Putin have said something that suggested of what you have said, we cannot say such of that speech, our position of the President Bashar Al-Assad is fixed, only the Syrians have the right to say their position toward his presidency, neither you nor your President are Syrians, thus you do not have this right.
