Iran-Turan war in Ottoman lands
Turkey, Iran and Russia After the Tehran meeting of the presidents, Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s new in Syria military sending messages about the start of the operation drew the attention of the world community to the brotherly country. Many international publications, including the British “Financial Times” newspaper, are based in the lands of the former Ottoman Empire of Turkey military and political drew attention to increasing its presence. In fact, located outside the country of Turkey military if we pay attention to its foundations, we can see that this is indeed a reality. So, the brotherly country now officially has military bases in 14 foreign countries, and most of them are located in the former Ottoman territories. These countries can be divided into two groups from the point of view of Turkey’s goals and objectives.
In the countries of the first group, such as Lebanon, Afghanistan (Turkish soldiers were withdrawn from this area after the Taliban regime came to power), the Central African Republic, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkish soldiers operate in order to create and maintain peace based on international conventions. That is, in these areas Turkey Units of the Armed Forces UN placed on the basis of decisions.
In the countries included in the second group, the situation is a little different. Turkey’s military presence in Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Qatar, Iraq, Syria, Albania and Northern Cyprus took place on the basis of bilateral agreements signed between the states, geopolitical interests and security measures. Apart from these countries, Pakistan and Azerbaijan They are the main military allies of Turkey, and the presence of the Turkish army is felt in these countries even though they do not have military bases.
The current situation makes Iran fade the most. After all, how could he not? Iran After the “Arab Spring”, the Shiite ideology, which is the most powerful weapon, is used to increase its influence in the region, even NATO he had great geopolitical dreams of uniting these countries around him by forming a similar Shiite alliance. At the moment Ali These dreams of Leader Khamenei are under the boot of “Mahmatcik”. imagine Turkey Its armed forces are simultaneously conducting military operations in two neighboring countries under Iran’s sphere of influence, Syria and Iraq. Also another neighbor of Iran Azerbaijan Zangezur becomes the main supporter of politics.
Of course, official Tehran cannot and does not remain silent about all this. The military operation of the Turkish Armed Forces in Syria protest does. Not only that, he is preparing Shia militia groups affiliated to him in the country, Fatimeyyun, Zeynabiyyun, Syrian Hezbollah and others for clashes with the Turkish army.
In parallel, Iran In Iraq, Turkey widely uses the Hashdi-Shabi military group and Shia clerics to reduce the military activity of the Turkish army.
It is no coincidence that the first operations carried out by the Turkish Armed Forces against the PKK terrorist organization in the Duhok province of Northern Iraq protest It was these forces that did it. As a result, the religious community of this country suddenly started black propaganda about Turkey’s violation of the territorial integrity of Iraq and the killing of civilian Iraqis. Turkish flags were burned in the squares. gasoline and it came from the same center, Iran…
Thus, it is obvious that Turkey is expanding its sphere of influence not only in the Ottoman lands, but also in the entire geography of Islam and Turkestan, and Iran is fighting against it. As they say, this is the visible side of the medallion, but on the invisible side, the situation is more complicated. Here, the powers that are trying to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power and gaining strength in the Middle East fear the emergence of a stronger Turkey than the Ottoman Empire in its place. Therefore, the winner of this battle for influence will not be determined for a long time…
