Written by Nasser Kandil,
In the morning of this day the Russian President Vladimir Putin will arrive to Ankara to preside the Russian party in the Russian-Turkish High Level Strategic Council, despite the fact that, this visit to Dawood Oglu could be done by his Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev, or his Minister of Economy since the political relations between the two countries are dual complicated associated ones as the situation between Russia and Turkey, but the president has found a political well-founded reason and maybe a strategic to take the responsibility of leading his country’s delegation. This visit will be highlighted through media, because it is not just a meeting, the sights are towards this meeting as well in order to see the achievements which are as important as the participation of this president, since it is at the level of a president of a Great Country as Vladimir Putin.
Within a calm Mediterranean atmosphere, the Iranian negotiations with the West are continuing under devoted or under processing understandings, accompanied with the admission of the absence of any American plan for changing the comfortable reality of Russia in Syria and its main ally the President Bashar Al-Assad, and at least it is said that the American alliance against terrorism proves that it’s incapable of achieving its goals without a dramatic change in the identity of its alliance, its components, and its plans, and where the Ukrainian crisis is under the control, and there is no fear of military changes in the Eastern of Ukraine, the Crimea Peninsula which becomes out of search because it joined to Russia, the Russian gas towards Ukraine and then to Europe is as a Russian paper which its importance and effectiveness increase whenever the winter comes. Moreover, Putin as a professional chess player moves the Knights and throws one of his dice at the opponent’s camps.
Turkey is the most prominent player in the war against Syria despite the harsh French speech, the Saudi money and their roles. The gate of the presence of all kind of French and Saudi preparation and incitement beside to all evils of the universe in turning off the balances in Syria was and still Turkey. Turkey is a member in the Atlantic alliance which has a strong army, one million people, and capable economics. It is does not like neither Egypt nor Saudi Arabia among the region’s countries, its value and importance is equal to Iran, but Iran is exceeding strategically and militarily in many cases. Turkey has an ottoman ambition that aims to participate in the Russian dialogue; it is the owner of the gas pipelines to supply Europe with Gas instead of Russia, either through Azerbaijan, Nabucco line or through Qatar, and the line for which was the war against Syria, and the adoption of ISIS’s expansion by Sultan Recep.
The bets of Turkey have failed regarding the American adoption of a containment policy with ISIS, and the dealing with its leaders indirectly in gas and oil, and the aspirations of Saudi Turkish plan which is adopted by Washington have failed also by trying to link the war against ISIS with overthrowing Syria. The project of Nabucco has postponed to an indefinite date, the dream of the Qatari gas has failed in its access to Europe. Putin arrives with a package of offers for Turkey, the admission of the end of the war against Syria in exchange of a gas line that passes with the partnership of Russia and Turkey towards Europe across the Black Sea, and lifting the dual commercial exchange up to one hundred billion dollars, it stimulates a touristic mutual activity for two million visitors annually, a Turkish role within the Eurasia and distinguished Russian-Turkish and Turkish- Iranian relations that equal its membership in the Atlantic alliance, moreover, a position for Turkey in the political solution in Syria through constituting a new formulation of Syria’s friends that contains the permanent members countries of the Security Council, Turkey , Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, as well as a role in the war against terrorism within a new alliance that contains the same components beside to Iraq, Lebanon, and Jordan but under the control of the United Nations, and a cooperation in the Ukrainian solution that regains a rank for Turkey which will not be attained by the stubbornness in the going on in the suicidal Dawood oglu’s project, which did not bring except the isolation to his countries.
Russia decided to make Ankara its platform for announcing its triumph in the Middle East.
