The Turkish crisis is connected with Ankara’s position on Syria

The senior scientist, expert on problems of the Middle East of the Oriental Studies Institute of the RAS, Boris Dolgov, thinks that Geneva-2 is a sign that all countries which are somehow involved in the Syrian crisis and the situation over the Syrian crisis are ready for a political dialogue. But possible certain results of Geneva-2 are thought to be doubtful by Dolgov. He thinks that support of anti-government armed groups in Syria, there are more than 1000 of them which involve more than 70 000 militants, is cynical. “Several tens of thousands of the militants are foreign soldiers of fortune from Arab countries, the Arab Muslim world, Diasporas of Arab Europe, including Russia. Armed groups do not compromise, they don’t need Geneva-2. Their motto is military overthrow of Bashar Assad’s regime and establishing of an Islamic state on the territory of Syria. The idea is their keynote.”
