「米国のメッセンジャー」と批判されているトルコ外相 シリア問題
トルコ外相のシリア訪問直前に、米国のクリントン国務長官がトルコ外相に電話をかけ、その内容について国務省職員が記者会見で話をし、さらに米国から派遣された専門家と駐トルコ・米国大使がトルコ首相と面会したため、トルコ外相は米国のメッセージをシリアに伝えに行くメッセンジャーに成り下がったという批判が広がっているようだ。前の記事
この記事は、トルコはトルコの立場を伝えに行く、トルコ独自の外交をしているのだと必死で説明しているのと、クリントンとトルコ外相の間に少しだけすきま風が吹いたみたいに書いてある点が笑える。
そもそもトルコ外相は、「近隣諸国と問題ゼロ政策」の提唱者なので、「ゼロどころか問題だらけ」という批判も高まっている。
トルコ南東部がこの10年で大きく成長したのは、シリアとの交流を前提に様々な投資がなされたからであって、南東部だけで何か重要性があって発展したのではない。シリアと関係を切ったら1980年代の窒息状態に逆戻りするわけで、広い南東部全域でAKPに対する支持が崩れるだろう。声の大きさに比例した制裁措置が打ち出されるのかどうか注目です。
米欧のメディアは、トルコはイスラム国なのに民主主義で、中東の見本だみたいに宣伝しているが、トルコの少数派、キリスト教徒に対する差別と弾圧は非常に悪質で問題があり、現在もそれは続いている。シリアやレバノンのキリスト教徒は、トルコを信用できない国と認識している。

US efforts to ‘seem involved’ in Syria initiatives upset Ankara

A phone call from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to her Turkish counterpart, Ahmet Davutoğlu, on the eve of the Turkish foreign minister’s visit to Damascus on Tuesday has lead to a minor crisis between the two countries. Ankara reacted sharply to the perception created by Washington that Davutoğlu appears to be “going to Syria to deliver a US message.”
The phone call that caused the crisis was made by Clinton on Sunday night, during which she shared the US’s views on the Syrian issue and asked about Turkey’s opinion and any possible actions Ankara may take after the visit. The main object of curiosity on the US side was reportedly “Turkey’s plan if Damascus slams its warning.”
Following the phone conversation on Sunday, US State Department spokesman Mark Toner gave reporters an insight into the nature of the phone conversation, where he highlighted that the US had requested Turkey to “press Syria” for certain moves during Davutoğlu’s visit. Toner’s explanation included parts where Clinton clarified the US’s position that “Syria must immediately return its military to [the] barracks and release all prisoners of concern,” as she requested her Turkish counterpart to “reinforce these messages with the Syrian government.”
In reaction to Toner’s remarks, Ankara criticized what it perceived as a US effort to engineer a perception that the message Davutoğlu is to give to the Syrian government was outlined by Washington, asserting that the decision to visit Damascus and the message to be conveyed to the Syrians is solely an Ankara initiative. Turkish officials, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with state policy, said Washington’s effort to make the Syria visit appear as “a plan of their own” angered Ankara, which it claims to have “made a note” of Washington’s move for future reference.
Another move by the US that came on Monday with visits by US expert on Syria Fred Hof and US Ambassador to Turkey Francis Ricciardone to the Turkish prime minister’s office was also perceived as a similar attempt at making the Syria visit appear to be a US initiative as the visits came shortly after the end of a meeting chaired at the same government office by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to discuss “external security” issues. The meeting was attended by Chief of General Staff Gen. Necdet Özel and Defense Minister İsmet Yılmaz as well as Davutoğlu.
The US delegation met with İbrahim Kalın, the chief foreign policy advisor to the prime minister. US diplomatic sources have acknowledged that the US and Turkish parties share the same view on Syria. The meeting between Kalın and the US delegation took place early last week and was not related to the meeting on external security issues, but the move seemed like a US effort to make it appear as though the US was involved in the security meeting, which was very critical in defining Turkey’s stance on the issue of unrest in Syria.
