Apparently, our strategic partners, NATO allies were preparing for this purpose. They knew that once Syria and Iraq were divided, Turkey would not be able remain solid, as a whole. It appears that this was the reason why they left Turkey on its own after the Syria issue started, this was the reason why they cooperated with terrorist organizations against Turkey.

This is what they were planning, that is how they started the process. It appears they want Turkey to clash with both Russia and Iran, weaken it and then divide it among themselves. It turns out all these scenarios were planned to open this great front; the big target was Turkey.

We came to understand this in the July 15 attack. We saw what those who want to collapse Turkey internally through the Fetullah Terrorist Organization(FETÖ), who want to wage an open war against this country, who want to activate the division plan did, we have come to understand their intentions.

That day, on that night, our country, our nation, our Parliament, our values, our history, our dreams, our future plans faced extremely heavy attacks. We fought a war of independence that night; we won a national struggle, we prevented a multinational invasion. We realized this when the plan to close in on Turkey, to siege it from northern Syria through the Kurdistan Workers’ Party’s (PKK) Syrian branch, the Democratic Union Party (PYD) was activated.

We saw and realized who the trench wars are being controlled by, who is setting up a front line along the hundreds-of-kilometers-long border through the PKK, we saw and realized that those controlling the “invasion” attempt in the southeast and those planning and controlling this front line are the same powers, that the mass terror attacks carried out in Turkey through Daesh and the PKK are also organized and instructed by the same powers, the same groups.

When the July 15 coup attempt failed, they tried to open a front from the south, from Syria. We saw and understood that they are forming a terror zone, drawing a foreign garrison map, accumulating thousands of truckloads of weapons in this region, establishing military bases, training terrorists in preparation for the attack on Turkey.

We understood this after seeing they were doing this through Daesh. We saw how they coordinated Daesh and the PKK as a joint force, how these same organizations were used against Turkey while dividing Syria via the same organizations. As we were fighting Daesh during the Euphrates Shield operation, we saw that we were actually fighting the U.S. As we were fighting against the “terror corridor” in northern Syria, we saw that we were actually fighting the U.S. We also saw that in the “trench wars” we were actually fighting a foreign invasion attempt, not terrorism.

We saw that the PKK, PYD, Daesh and FETÖ are all hitmen, subcontractor organizations prepared by the U.S. and its allies to strike Turkey. The world saw the PKK-Daesh partnership in the performance staged in Raqqa, but we saw that all of these organizations were founded and controlled, activated and instructed to attack our country by U.S. intelligence to divide both the region and Turkey.

The downing of the Russian plane was an Atlantic-FETÖ operation. Daesh was an Atlantic-FETÖ operation. The Dec. 17/ 25 intervention was an Atlantic-FETÖ operation. July 15 was an Atlantic-FETÖ operation. The plan and launch of the Syrian war was an Atlantic operation, and we both saw and understood that Turkey was fooled using the FETÖ mind.

We saw how a public opinion was formed in Turkey through the organizations in question, how the plans involving Turkey and the region are promoted within this context. We saw and understood how the Turkish public’s mind was poisoned, taken hostage for the map they want to form in northern Syria and Iraq. We saw that Kurdish nationalism and the Atlantic projects were presented under the guise of Islamism.

We saw that the referendum held in northern Iraq was a premature birth and that it exposed a big game. We saw and understood that Turkey, Iraq and Iran’s initiative negated a multinational plan. We saw and understood that the same can be done in Syria. We saw and understood that those who failed to realize the Dec. 17/25 coup attempt in Turkey are trying the same scenario in the U.S., that the intervention period is ongoing.

The Syrian war, which has now turned into a multinational power showdown, which is no longer the war of the Syrian people, which is now certain to be the plan to open the “Turkey front,” must be ended. A war that could have been stopped from the start with Turkey and Iran’s initiative has come to today, but still, hope has emerged with the initiative of the Turkey-Iran-Russia trio.

A historic decision in this direction may emerge from the summit to be held in Sochi today. The three countries may take a historic step to end the war, to save the region. Steps can be taken to negate all extensions of the U.S. and Israel in Syria, as well as their apparatuses to divide Syria.

The issue is not the Syrian regime only, but also the Syrian people. The issue is not Bashar Assad, but Syria’s territorial integrity. The issue is not Syria either, it is the Western occupation targeting the region. The issue is the foreign garrison, the map they want to form in the north of Syria and Iraq. It is this map being dotted with intervention bases for the entire region, including Turkey.

Every terrorist organization in the region is an apparatus of the foreign invasion attempt. Each one of them is a foreign threat, the leaders of the occupation. The region is faced with greater threats than the Assad issue, the Syria issue.

Therefore, Turkey’s sensitivities should not be abused. Its determination especially with regard to the PKK/PYD should be taken seriously. If this is done, the Syrian war will end.

It should not be forgotten that this summit includes the opportunity to prevent all foreign interventions aimed at Syria and the region. If a radical decision can be made, the U.S. will not be able to survive in northern Syria; the PKK/PYD will no longer be able to move in this region.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani may today, in Sochi, stop the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, prevent a country from turning into ruins, as well as end the plans of Western countries to divide the entire region.

This will be a major victory for our region.

This will largely neutralize the threats aimed at Turkey.
