@Mahatir
i like your most of comments even if you were mistaken somtimes..it is normal...
First, Sunnis over 80% pop.of syria..Because Kurds are Sunni muslims too...they demand just an autonomy in some Kurdish towns..and after peace process between Turkey and PKK they went far from Assad regime.
As for devision of Syria into ethnic and sectarian states, i dont agree with you..if after austing Assad regime period west would control Syria then you would be right...But after Assad regime gone the countries that will lead Syria will be Turkey and GCC countries.Neither Turkey nor GCCs want instabiity situations in Syria..
Even Assad thugs, İran and Hezbollah massacre milions of Sunnis they are never be able to found an Noussayri state in coast region of Syria..Neither Turkey nor GCCs and other ME muslim countries dont want and dont permit an iran puppet state always stab the region countries in back.
I agree with you that Iran is a ****** sectarian regime but also there where many Alawis killed by radical elements in the opposition Just like how Hizbullah and Iran backed proxy groups in Syria have engaged in ethnic cleansing against sunnis .
The alawis are not religious by any means , the only reason they are held hostage by Bachar is the lack of communication between the syrian nationalists in the opposition with the secular alawi soldiers in Syrian army . There has to be negotiations between both sides to come up with a middle solution so they can later on clean the country from Iranian ***** and Gubhat el Nusra ***** . Syria should not be a ground for proxy wars between sectarian shias and sunnis .
Syria is one of a few countries where people of different sects were getting along without any problems , who is burning the country now are foreign fighters coming from Iran , Lebanon , Saudi Arabia , Chechenya and Iraq.
Now there might be some positive news from the summit made between USA and Russia , the opposition and moderates from Assad regime agreed to negotiate for a coalition government .
maybe they might agree on having an acceptable figure for both the opposition and other minorities to run the country like Manaf Talas or the current Syrian vice president who is a technocrat while Assad and his little gang leave the country for good and the opposition work on cleaning regions under their control from Nusra front .
Right now on the ground there is a stalemate that wount change , we Just have to wait to see what the American/Russian summit will bring on Syria . After all Americans and Russians will not announce about such a summit and waste their time unless they have an agreed solution to this crises.
You know hatay is half alawi Arabs and they are well integrated within the Turkish society , there is not need to further increase the sectarian tension . The role of Countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia needs to be limited in the Syrian conflict after all both countries are sectarian and have horrible record when it comes to human rights and dealing with their citizens .
Saudi Arabia oppresses its Shiah minority and Iran oppresses its sunni minority , any sane human should condemn both the Iranian and Saudi Arabian regimes.
Should we burn the whole middle east Just because of Saudi Arabia and Iran sectarian conflict ? and I am sure Turkey cares most about the stability of Syria than Iran or Saudi Arabia will ever be , after all it shares 1000 km border with that country.
Communicating with the Alawi minority is crucial now in order to save whats remaining of syria from the crazy sectarian groups like Hizbullah and Jubhet el Nusra .
I can say at least %90 of the Turkish people are against Erdogan's Syria policy.
problem he had no other choice , Iran burned Syria into an outright sectarian civil war , no one wants war but even if Turkey did nothing it will have simply spilled over .
Anyway Erodogan said he will not be dragged into the Syrian swamp .
