Al-Assad is remaining….. it started from Turkey and it will end in it

Written by Nasser Kandil,

Maybe the final image of the military coup in Turkey, the limits of its control over the situation, and the reactions that will appear by the ruling party and its supporters are not clear, but it is certain that those who did the coup are knowing in advance everything that is waiting for them, so they will not commit any incomplete step that will cost them what is more than the failure and the life of those who did the coup, they will wait the appropriate opportunity, timing, and the complete preparations to take this risk because it is one opportunity that will not be repeated, but if it failed then it will be an opportunity to get rid of every official in the army who cannot be trusted and alienate him. This is the case of the coups which the Turkish military; the well experienced in the coups knows, but despite of that the hypothesis remains either with the failure or the non-complete success, so the evaluation is concerned to take this into consideration.

The military coup is not an isolated movement of the context of the complete failure of Erdogan’s polices which raised zero enmities with the neighbors, but they betrayed them, and on the contrary they made all the neighbors enemies, they sold the illusions of the Sultanate instead, and they failed severely, they claimed preserving the secularization, but they took Turkey which is deep- rooted of its secularism towards the Muslim Brotherhood, they raised the slogan of the war on terrorism and made of Turkey a shelter for all the terrorists of the globe. The humiliated Turkey in its withdrawal in front of Russia will not tolerate Recep Erdogan and his party for what they did to the Turkish military, moreover the bleeding Turkey under the strikes of Al-Qaeda will not tolerate Recep Erdogan and his party for what they did to Turkey by opening its gates for all Al-Qaeda groups under the slogan of the victory of the Syrian opposition which the Turkish soldiers know them very well as mean groups that live in five-stars hotels, while the abstinent among their symbols has an apartment on the Bosphorus Strait of five million dollars, he works with at least five intelligence services, moreover he trades with food aids of the Syrians refugees and he sells them in the black market. There is no reason left for the Turkish army; the guard of the Turkish sovereignty, the guard of secularism, and the guard of the Turkish stability not to make a coup that resets the matters to their suitable positions. The issue is not an issue of the supporters of the preacher Fthulah Gulen only, those  who have suffered from deception, cunning and cheating, but an issue of their success in driving the general mood of the army towards the need for a corrective dramatic step as having control on power.

The coup is related to two equations, first, is the international need that is embodied by the presence of the US Secretary of State John Kerry in Moscow for a regional dramatic change that justifies the qualitative change in the Syrian war, there is a need of such an event in order for the American to tell the Saudi and the groups of Saudi Arabia and Turkey in Syria that the game is over because Turkey has changed, without Turkey there is no possibility for doing anything. Second, is the Turkish need for a shock of that size to arrange the equations of the war on terrorism and to re-improve the Turkish frayed relations with the neighbors from Syrian to Iraq, Iran and Syria. According to these two equations the Turkish army will move and according to these two equations the Russians and the Americans will receive the coup and will interact with it as a big event that deserves the positive interaction as an appropriate articulation to achieve the necessary changes internationally and regionally towards what is going on in the region, and the need for translating the Russian American understanding as the war on terrorism.

Syria was the obstacle which undermined Erdogan, while the people and the army in Turkey were just with the Syrian President and his bet on them. Syria and its President are as the rock which in front of its firmness and steadfastness uncountable heads fell, so it is enough to say that everyone who foreshadowed of the stepping down of the Syrian President Basher Al-Assad has fallen and will fall. Al-Assad will remain raising the flag of victory for the freedom of Syria, its unity, its strength, and its resistance… It is Syria for those who did not understand, he is Al-Assad for those who do not know, it is the choice of the resistance for those who did not know and do not want to know.

Whatever happened, it is impossible for Turkey to return to what it was before the coup, in worst cases Turkey will be preoccupied in its interior for a long time and it will be far regionally, while Syria and the resistance will have the opportunity for the great victory …. after the great patience.
