It was just a week ago that the Assad regime fell. There were definitely many factors involved in this fall, but I think one of the most important was Turkey's influence. If we take a quick look at the last few years, we can clearly see that since 2011, Turkey has been on the front line of Assad's opposition. It supported the internal opposition, such as the Free Syrian Army. After it was disbanded, it formed the national army. It occupied the northern parts of Syria and recently fully supported the opposition until Assad was overthrown. I don't want to say that if Turkey hadn't done this, Assad would never have been overthrown. Incidentally, I think this rotten body of the Assad regime would have been overthrown by someone else one day. But the part that makes me wonder is why did Turkey do this when it had a good relationship with Syria before 2011 and its interests were being served? Of course, as always, we will search for the answer in history, and first I will try to take a look at the relations between the two countries before 2011 and see what days these two countries spent together, as two neighbors, and then we will look at 2011 and after, why Turkey changed its policy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your support is very valuable to me: https://hamibash.com/taherbayrami Let's have a bigger family together: Telegram: https://t.me/taherhistory Instagram: / taher_history My email: [email protected]
