YUSUF KANLI - Reyhanlı carnage, Syria

Reyhanlı carnage, Syria

Were the Reyhanlı deadly blasts a coincidence? Just the other day, though many questions remain on what future they see for the Arab country, the U.S. and Russia seem to have finally come to an agreement on Syria. A few days from now, precisely on May 16, Turkey’s absolute ruler Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will be received at the White House by President Barack Hussein Obama. Just moments after the blast Turkish officials placed the blame squarely on Syria but could Bashar al-Assad and his Baas government be that foolish as to contract a Turkish clandestine group (which has been often in coalition with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party – PKK) to such heinous actions? Could not al-Assad think that with such heinous undertakings he would make it easier for Turkish and American leaders finally decide to formally join in the Syria war on the side of the rebels? Can he be that foolish?
