Ankara is alarmed by the report containing the secret plan on settling the Middle East map and building influential areas in Syria, “told Sputnik”, former Turkish ambassador to Libya and France Uluc Ozulker.
Information about the January 11th meeting, dubbed “Syrian flow”, was published by a group of French journalists based on written notes made by the British ambassador attending the meeting, reports “Sputnik International” Transmission Periscope.
“” The participants agreed to meet again on January 23rd, which means they planned to hold such secret meetings on regular grounds. The crazy information makes clear what the US, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and Jordan really want. Judging from the notes [made by the United Kingdom envoy], participants discussed by inviting Egyptian, German and Turkish representatives to participate. However, it seems that Egypt was not invited, and the Germans did not respond. As for Turkey, they were certainly not sure whether to bring Turkey on board or not. They believe the conflict between Turkey and the Kurds could negatively reflect their decisions,” said Ozulker.
“They said Washington's main goal is to prevent Iran from consolidation in this region. They also acknowledged that Russia's successful efforts as part of the Astana and Soci negotiations pose a major problem for them, and stressed their desire to sabotage this process by trying to revive Geneva's talks to include Syria's Democratic Forces with YPG as its own axis,” added Ozulker.
According to him, its “5 participating countries discuss four global processes. ”
“This would force Turkey to make a choice, given its close ties with Russia and its role in the Astana process,” stressed Ozulker. /Periscopi/
