Discordances over Russian and Turkish policies on the Syrian crisis are so deeply that they’re unlikely to be settled in a short time. But when the crisis starts to display signals of triggering a global opposition reminiscent of Cold War-era aggressions, Ankara shows willingness to stop further poisoning of its connects with Russian Federation by keeping channels of senior-level dialogue with Moscow open. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is being after a one-day visit to Moscow on July eighteen to ascertain processes to cease the 16-month ferocity in Syria that has now left more than 15,000 Syrians dead.
A Turkish diplomatical official told that bilateral, territorial and world affairs would be talked over during Erdoğan’s visit. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu is supposed to come with Erdoğan, who is scheduled to hold talks and exchange aspects with Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin on the Syrian crisis. Experts agree that the crisis in Syria would dominate Erdoğan’s agenda and the shot down Turkish jet by Syrian forces would be the main issue.
Syrian forces downed a RF-4E Phantom, an disarmed reconnaissance mission version of the F4 fighter jet last month, which was on a solo mission to test domestic radar systems and was hit in international air space after it shortly strayed into Syrian air space.
Experts also anticipate that Erdoğan will demand Moscow to give part of any possible data about the jet incident.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated at a news conference in Geneva on June 30 that Russia has information to show that jet downed by Syria had assaulted Syrian airspace different than Ankara’s claims, and was prepared to present it. “We have our objective observation information and we are prepared to present it,” Lavrov stated.
Last Friday Davutoğlu demanded bigger pressure to be placed on Russia and China to drive them to end backing up Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, on a gathering of Western and Arab nations in Paris affirming the Syrian opposition.
“We had better increase pressure on the Syrian regime and those who back up that regime, progressively keep them apart ,” Davutoğlu told at the Friends of the Syrian People meeting, where Russia and China weren’t present.
At the same meeting, United States foreign minister “Hillary Clinton” urged world powers to show Russia and China that they’d pay a price for blocking progress toward a democratic changeover in Syria.
“The only way that will change is if all nation represented here right away and urgently makes it clear that Russia and China will pay a price because they are delaying progress — blocking it — that is no more supportable,” Clinton stated.
Russia is under international pressure to exercise influence over Assad’s regime to make it stick to a peace plan presented by UN envoy Kofi Annan.
