Thread starter's comments :
My view is that this statement helps Ergodan's image as macho in Turkey and the fact is Erdogan is Chicken in Syria and one thing lacking was gut to kick our Assad resulting in destruction of Syria . This comment is in view actually about Qatar , as it is my belief that if Qatar does not kneel before Saudis , Qatar is going to be invades as Saudis with 20 million own population cannot allow Qatar and western war contractors and agencies to use Qatar money , iran's manpower and Turkey's muscle to one day occupy saudis , the saudis will act first. And this statement is a warning to Erdogan to keep away from Qatar , and Russian FM is not there to discuss selling Asad but to sell Qatar as country if such a scenario ultimately comes.
UAE is living an big man 's life and there are references in international media that UAE funded Turkish coup against Erdogan.
UAE criticizes 'colonial' role of Iran and Turkey in Syria
ABU DHABI: The United Arab Emirates urged Iran and Turkey on Monday to end what it called their “colonial” actions in Syria, signaling unease about diminishing Gulf Arab influence in the war.
UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan urged “the exit of those parties trying to reduce the sovereignty of the Syrian state, and I speak here frankly and clearly about Iran and Turkey.”
He was speaking at a news conference with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, whose country helps the regime of Bashar Assad militarily.
“If Iran and Turkey continue the same historical, colonial and competitive behavior and perspectives between them in Arab affairs, we will continue in this situation not just in Syria today but tomorrow in some other country,” Sheikh Abdullah said.
The six-year-old war in Syria has dragged in regional and international players who have sought to advance their interests there: Iran has sent troops and military support to shore up Assad’s rule as he has battled mostly Sunni Muslim opposition groups, some backed by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab states.
The Syrian army and its allies have regained lost territory with the help of Russian air strikes since 2015. At the same time, Daesh (Islamic State) is being pushed back from strongholds in eastern Syria by the Syrian army and a rival offensive by Kurdish and Arab rebels backed by the United States.
Fearing expanded Kurdish influence along its border with Syria, US ally Turkey has grown increasingly uneasy about the rebels’ armed thrust.
Turkey and Iran have discussed possible joint military action against Kurdish militant groups, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday.
Lavrov and Sheikh Abdullah said they agreed on a need for a negotiated end to the war. Russia is helping shepherd talks in the Kazakh capital Astana which has already produced “de-escalation” zones to reduce combat in three parts of Syria.
Lavrov said Russia hoped that efforts to unify the positions of Syria’s disparate opposition would aid the peace process.
“There were some deep disagreements in the past which led to the failure of some meetings, but we will continue encouraging the participation of all the platforms,” he said through a translator.
