Erdogan's civilizing policies in North Syria

[Baybars Han]

There is two best solutions and policies for us.

Create a Türkmen front and arm them to the max and let them settle in somewhere and ''declare partial independence'' like what the kurds are doing.

2- slowly start brining back refugees into the safe parts. We can't keep all those people forever.

Number 2 is not an option. It's a necessity

Turkey maybe should settle Afghanistan Turkmens or Uyghurs to liberated zones of Syria.

Hundreds of Syrian policemen trained in Turkey to provide security in Jarablus
DAILY SABAH
ISTANBUL
Published January 30, 2017

For a lawless country embroiled in a long-running conflict, seeing a policeman on the streets ruled by camouflage-wearing fighters or soldiers loyal to Bashar Assad is a rarity in Syria. Jarablus, a small town in the north, close to the Turkish border, now swarms with police officers in their blue uniforms, instilling a sense of hope and security for the future in locals returning home.

The town was liberated by the Free Syrian Army (FSA) from the Daesh terrorist group and saw an influx of returnees, setting an example for how life could return to normal after the war. Turkey, a major supporter of opposition rights in their fight to take back towns from terrorists, also helps them rebuild the areas with aid. Law enforcement is one of them and some 450 policemen, either desk jockeys or elite anti-terror police officers, are trained in Turkey, which spearheaded Operation Euphrates Shield, a campaign to help opposition groups to liberate towns from Daesh.

Jarablus's fledgling population standing at about 30,000 still remains a challenge for police officers patrolling the streets with automatic rifles and with the assistance of the few remaining opposition fighters who help maintain law and order. But Abdurrazzak Aslan al-Laz, the town's police chief, is hopeful for better days. "Everyone in Jarablus will live in peace and safety. This is what we work around the clock for," he told Anadolu Agency.

Trained in traffic policing, patrols, maintaining public order and counterterror operations, police often set up checkpoints across the town, whose population swelled to its current number from roughly 3,500, as the town is still on alert against possible Daesh threats. Policemen also provide security for public buildings, from city hall to a renovated hospital. Then, there are petty crimes, from scuffles to theft. Soon, they will be entirely responsible for law and order as the FSA gradually departs to fight on other fronts of the lengthy civil war. "We want to make Jarablus more livable," al-Laz says. He says even seeing a patrolling policeman helps locals feel safe.

Turkey is doing great work.

Sounds like its a way of sugarcoating Turkification.

You all definitely read about Turkey's ongoing operation in North Syria called "Euphrates Shield". People are often debating about the geopolitical implications and the potential influence Turkey will have on political events and negotiations regarding Syria's future due to this military intervention. I personally don't believe that Ankara will ever leave this region again. At least, the Turkish government will ensure that Turkey's cultural footprint will last in this region for the next generations.

If Syria won't fall apart and the Sunni Arab, Alawi Arab and Kurdish populations agree on a federal governing system Ankara surely will insist that parts of North Syria should be granted a special status within the Syrian state even though they're overwhelmingly Arab and Sunni.

Operation "Euphrates Shield" started less than 6 months ago but you already can see a strong Turkish influence in the area, which is conquered by Turkish-backed FSA forces and the Turkish military.

Jarablus is a perfect case study. It's a town in close proximity to the Turkish border where the Turkish operation in fact started last year.

This is how the town looks today after liberating it from DAESH. People are happy to have got this stressful period behind them and they already returned to the daily routine:

But now the really difficult period has begun for the Turkish gov't.

No one in Turkey wants the establishment of harsh assimilation policies towards any Sunni Arab person. But leaving them how they are isn't an option either. Therefore AKP developed a strategy to re-educate the population.

They're implementing a twin-track approach.

1. Act responsibly instead of merely talking about responsibility.

Let the adult people experience the difference between living under any Arab ruler and living under the protection of Turkey. Action speaks louder than words.

2. Focus on the young people. Forget the elders.

You can't win the brains of the parents and grandparents but you can change the future of North Syria by helping the young people. They're open for innovation and fundamental modernization.

So what is Turkey doing in Jarablus right now?

• re-establishing the public order
  
• re-establishing structures of the state and civil society
• providing public services and utilities like food, water, shelter and medical care to those in need and restoring critical public services
  
• forming a new government
• re-organizing security forces (police and military)
  
• undertaking visible efforts to dismantle terrorist organizations
• implementing educational reforms

AKP's main goal is triggering a gradual cultural change to create a modern, civilized, righteous rolemodel citizen of Sunni Arab origin in the Turkish-held areas in Syria showing the Arab and the Muslim world the superiority of the Turkish model in comparison to Iran's Welayat-e faqih ideology and Saudi Arabia's Wahhabi worldview.

Great.... after the ottomans left in 1920, my family had to leave because of genocide that followed after by the arabs. entire region was then carved out into these 'states' with proxy kings. 90 years later history repeated itself. It is just ironic at the end. I applaud Edrogan, he should tear up that wretched treaty which was forced down their throats.

You should give a f*ck to others, since they are human beings... and even more..innocent...

Look, my words were maybe a little bit too harsh or sounded that way. Believe me that I will be very happy to see peace in this whole region and not only there but in the whole World. I believe that no nation deserves to live in war, poverty and hunger. Unfortunately the Middle East is in such a huge mess right now that I just care for the well being of Turks first. That's all.

ps I like Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco a lot and they are Arabic (or maybe they aren''t ) so don't get offended by my words.

What is your background, mate? You said your family used to live in the Ottoman empire but your flags show your are from/at South Africa which is not a country where too many Turks live.

So disappearing? Good news for some ppl...

 

[Baybars Han]

1. Every single Syrian, especially children who go to school should HAVE to learn Turkish. We will have a few more Turkish speakers who in the future will help closer ties unless they turn out to be ungrateful.

2. Arm the Syrian Turkmens with advanced weapons and give a part of land to them.
