YEREVAN, OCTOBER 9, ARMENPRESS. Turkish – Syrian relations became
very tens after Syrian armed forces bombed Turkish city Akchakale
that caused conversations about possible war. Notwithstanding, one
thing is for sure – in conditions of tensed and critical situation
inside the country war is in no way admissive for Syria. Hence,
it is Turkey in the role of initiator of war, who is aiming several
further targets by this step.

One of the utmost problems of Turkey is the Kurdish factor that became
much more dangerous for Turkish authorities after the Syrian crisis.

It has been much spoken about, that Kurdish rebels took power
in several cities near the Turkish – Syrian national border. This
preoccupies official Ankara greatly, as even a slightest independence
of the Kurds in this region is pregnant with danger of uprising
manifestations against Turkish powers in South – Eastern regions,
where many Kurds dwell, that can cause movement for creation of
independent Kurdistan.

The next reason of Turkish authorities for war with Syria is an
ambition of becoming a leading country among Islamic states of Near
East. Many times Erdogan and other Turkish political figures while
talking about foreign politics mentioned the idea of “primate-state”.

This is thought to be one of the bright examples of neoosmanism
ideology in modern Turkish politics. Turkey wants to defeat Syria and
show other countries, that there is a “strong country” in the region
in Turkey’s face.

These all self-evident facts prove that conversations about Syrian
bombing in Turkish territory are probably one of the experiments of
Turkish diplomacy, as it happened in case of elimination of Turkish
F – 4 military airplane.
