After his speech to the parliamentary group of the ruling AKP party, its chairman Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan gave the answer to the “rabiya” lovers by giving them the “rabiya” greeting, he writes in Hurriyet. the Turkish columnist Abdulkadir Selvi.
The questions
Selvi makes a reference to Erdogan’s statements about the attacks in northern Syria and continues, noting that the president of Turkey did not mention in his speech to the parliamentary group, but on the way out, reporters asked: “Can there be a meeting with Assad. and Sisi»?

Erdogan said: “Maybe. There is no resentment and anger in politics. Ultimately, the steps are taken under the most favorable conditions.”
I would like to make a few points about Assad and Sisi, points out Abdulkadir Selvi.
1. We are in direct talks with Syria. Reports that messages were sent through Iran or Russia are not true. Negotiations with the Syrian regime have escalated through the services.
2. A meeting with Assad is expected before the 2023 elections. For Sisi, the method of football diplomacy was used (photo, above, from the Sisi – Erdogan meeting in Qatar). The meeting with Assad can be done in the context of Putin’s diplomacy.
3. After the Erdogan-Assad meeting, the return of Syrian refugees to their homelands must be accelerated.
Where will the second meeting with Sisi take place?
4. Erdogan and Sisi shook hands, but there will be a second meeting without much delay. However, this time, it can be met in Ankara or Cairo, not in a third country.
5. Sisi’s visit to Turkey, Erdogan’s visit to Egypt, may be in question. On the agenda is the signing of agreements between the two countries.
6. Even the Erdogan and Sisi handshake was enough to panic Greece. Greek Foreign Minister Dendias was in Cairo within 24 hours. When they sign bilateral agreements, they will probably have a heart attack, emphasizes the Hurriyet columnist.
The Turkish Armed Forces are carrying out Operation Forked Sword in Iraq. The Forked Sword will be completed in December. After that, it is necessary to start the countdown for the ground operation in Syria. A much larger operation is planned this time, Selvi notes.
