Abstract

According to the national interests they have envisioned for themselves, as well as the assessments they have of their rival powers, the countries in the world try to adopt suitable policies that are consistent with their national defense strategy by employing the location and other factors effective on national power. Following the recent developments in the Middle East, and TURKEY's "zero problems with neighbors" policy, the latter tries to get involved in the subversion campaign against SYRIA alongside with Western countries especially the United States, the Zionist Regime and a few Arabic countries that are aligned with the West’s interests. So, this article tries to explain TURKEY’s GEOPOLITICAL dilemmas and its effect on the crisis in SYRIA by using a descriptive-analytical method. The studies made in this research led into results including: The efforts to break the resistance and underline Iran’s (Turkey’s regional rival) strategic depth are aligned with TURKEY’s multiple efforts to build up its influence and bargaining power regionally and globally, to garner the European Union's favor and that of the West for admitting TURKEY into the European Union, to shift the ongoing political mindset in the governing body (Justice and Development Party) towards Neu-Ottomanist (expansionist) policies, to pursue and utilize historical-ethnic considerations especially border issues in its own favor, to replace SYRIA’s Alawite government with a Sunni one in line with TURKEY's interests and those of the West, all alignedwith TURKEY’s economic interests, most of which will improve TURKEY’s position from a political and GEOPOLITICAL viewpoint on its path towards achieving the interests aforesaid.
