Turkey’s Syria Policy: Constant Objectives, Shifting Priorities
Öz: Turkey’s foreign policy approach started to transform from a more liberal andhumanitarian foreign policy to a more realistic and pragmatic one in 2016, whichwas manifested in the Syrian civil war. In this period, Turkey started to prioritizethe use of hard power in order to prevent the threats resulting from the civilwar. This paper asserts that while Turkey’s objectives in the Syrian crisis haveremained stable, its priorities have changed especially in recent years. So, whilefrom 2011-2016 humanitarian norms dominated Turkey’s Syria policy, after 2016,these norms became secondary priorities, and were replaced by hard power-basedmilitary assertiveness. To support this hypothesis, six main objectives of Turkey’sforeign policy are taken into consideration: Managing the humanitarian crisis,materializing the fall of the Assad regime, aiding the opposition forces, waginga proxy war with Iran, eliminating the threat of Daesh, and preventing the PYD/YPG from creating an area of dominance.
Anahtar Kelime: Türkiye’nin Suriye Politikası: Değişmeyen Hedefler, Değişen Öncelikler
Öz: Türkiye’nin dış politika yaklaşımı, 2016 yılında liberal bir çerçeveden ayrılarak realist bir anlayışa sahip olmuştur. Bu değişimin en net göstergesi ise Suriye iç savaşıdır. Zira Türkiye, Suriye iç savaşından kaynaklı tehditleri önlemek amacıyla askeri güç kullanımını öncelemiştir. Bu makale, Suriye krizi karşısında Türkiye’nin hedeflerinin sabit kaldığını ancak son yıllarda önceliklerinin değiştiğini iddia etmektedir. Nitekim 2011-2016 yılları arasında insani normlar Türkiye’nin Suriye politikasını belirlerken, 2016 yılı sonrasında bu normlar ikincil öncelikler olmuş ve sert güç odaklı askeri operasyonlarla yer değiştirmiştir. Makale bu varsayımı desteklemek amacıyla Suriye krizine karşı Türk Dış Politikası’nın altı temel amacını merkeze almıştır. Bu amaçlar sırasıyla; Suriye’de ortaya çıkan insani krizi yönetmek, Esed Rejimi’nin yıkılması, muhalefet güçlerine destek, İran ile yapılan vekalet savaşı, DAEŞ tehdidini yok etmek ve PYD/YPG’nin hakimiyet alanı kurmasının engellenmesidir.
