Turkish authorities are interested in closer cooperation with Moscow than with Washington in the settlement of the Syrian conflict. For the sake of this they are ready to abandon the demand to immediately displace Bashar Assad from the post of Syrian President. Thanks to him in the region there is at least some stability, and his army keeps terrorists and insurgents in check.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is frightened by the desire of the United States to arm Kurdish self-defense units, which Ankara considers terrorist cells. In this regard, more and more talk about the need to withdraw from the coalition. Moreover, recently many people question the expediency of Turkey's membership in NATO, the "Free Press".

Erdogan recently met Russian President Vladimir Putin and managed to find a common language with him on many issues. Soon, the Turkish leader will hold talks with the head of the White House, Donald Trump. Critical differences between countries, especially regarding the supply of weapons to the Kurds and the fate of the Turkish preacher Fethullah Gulen (Turkey demands his extradition, the United States refuses), after this meeting they can bare even more. As a result, the alliance relations between Washington and Ankara may leave a trace.

Turks accuse Americans of treason, and the States have nothing to answer, analysts say.. "In America, the president and the people around him changed. Nothing else has changed. Obama promised Erdogan that he would not contact the Kurdish terrorists. But then it became known that as early as 2016. An agreement was drawn up (on arms supplies). Erdogan said in an interview that Obama deceived him. He then hoped that Trump would not go that expensive. Trump said he would be another president, promised to cancel many of Obama's decisions, but it turned out that now he signs his papers. He signed, including a contract for the supply of weapons to the YPG (Kurdish People's Self-Defense Forces), "Turkish military expert and international relations specialist Keram Yildirim told journalists..

According to the expert, Erdogan needs to change his policy towards Syria, since it is no longer possible to count on Americans. "He needs to realize the role of Damascus. Russia has already realized the role of Russia, so we have the results. Now through Russia we need to establish ties with Assad. Do not take him as a friend, it's just that it will be easier to deal with YPG together with him, "advises Yildirim.

At the moment, Kurds are no longer interested in the presidency of Assad. They attack the positions of government troops and plunder the cities under their control. "I'm sure that the United States. Washington pursues one goal - to remove Assad, and nothing interests him any more. The involvement of terrorists YPG is part of the operation to eliminate the president of Syria. But he remains the last hope for stability. And, it seems to me, now Erdogan starts to understand this. The more chaos in Syria, the more destabilizes the region, and the stronger are the direct enemies of Turkey, "the Turkish expert believes..

Erdogan has repeatedly stated that under Assad, it will be impossible to achieve peace in Syria. Many in Turkey agree with this, but in the current situation he is the lesser of two evils.

"He can be considered a bad person, good, but now it does not matter. It is more important for Turkey to have its own security. We can provide it, but it's much better when we do not have to fight. If we remove Assad, what the US, which is armed with YPG, wants, a serious war will begin on our borders, since the only enemy of terrorists will be Turkey. No, first we must eliminate all the terrorist forces, and after that we can talk about elections, the removal of Assad and so on, "Yildirim concluded..
