Skoro 10 godina rata u Siriji: Koliko je daleko mir i kakav je trenutni odnos snaga

Skoro 10 godina nakon početka sukoba u Siriji rat je i dalje glavna tema na području ove države. Koliko je danas Sirija bliža miru i kakvi su odnosi snaga u ovoj zemlji za Klix.ba je komentirao Jahja Muhasilović, profesor i analitičar.      Situacija u kojoj se nalazi narod ove zemlje najbolje oslikava i "šala" koju sirijski narod često spominje u posljednje vrijeme, gdje se navodi kako bi bilo najbolje da se kompletno stanovništvo odseli s područja Sirije kako bi se na taj način osiguralo dovoljno prostora međunarodnim akterima da "u miru" mogu ostvarivati svoje interese. Međunarodnih aktera u ovoj državi je i previše.  Iran, Izrael, Turska, Rusija, SAD, Saudijska Arabija. Kroz ratove na sirijskom tlu, apsolutno svi ostvaruju svoje interese . Danas je sukob u Siriji aktivan najviše na sjeverozapadnim i sjeveroistočnim dijelovima zemlje, što znatno otežava okolnosti kada govorimo o mogućnosti mira u ovoj zemlji. Međutim, iako je mir i dalje daleko, čini se kako se s...

Bosnia's Turkish Debate

Just a few days ago the Association of Parents in the Canton of Sarajevo complained to the canton’s  education minister that the promotion of the Turkish language as an elective class had been taking place without prior consultation with parents. Parents say they should be the ones to decide what class schoolchildren will select. The first impression is that the complaint is fair and square. The impression is one of caring parents minding the future of their children, and certainly they are; but what is striking is the fact that parents have been turned into a ‘lobbying machine’ that sees a “civilizational threat” to their children, as they are complaining about allegedly a “lobbying campaign of Turkish language teachers”. Since when has a parent whose child is taking, for instance, a German language course or any other as an elective class begun to worry that some parents and their children prefer the Turkish language? It has been obvious since the beginning that this cas...

Why Balkans matter for Turkey?

In the last few years we are witnessing a shift in Turkey’s foreign policy, moving from once being a bastion of Western civilization to a more undefined Eurasian understanding. Turkey’s leadership started flirting more actively with Moscow with ties getting normalized, after the apology for downing of a Russian airplane over Syria. Vladimir Putin was faster than Western politicians in condemning the failed coup. Some even say Putin himself warned Turkey’s president that coup is under its way. Disappointed with Western’s attitude, Ankara started more openly speaking of getting even closer with Kremlin. President of Turkey and political establishment in Ankara are sending threatening messages to Western leaders regarding the Turkey’s NATO membership and recently went even as far to announce a possible referendum on abandoning EU accession process. Besides the threatening rhetoric definitely there were some moves in recent months confirming this stance of Ankara. Turkey’s political elit...
