Turkey's efforts to preserve the status in Idlib does not signify the prevention of humanitarian tragedy alone.

The matter will have impact on other areas of Syria too. Signs of this emerged in a short period of time.

Turkey wants "the current status in Idlib to continue," so that it becomes possible to bring other problematic areas to the agenda as well.

Surely, one of the matters Turkey wants to bring to the agenda with the protection of the status in Idlib is the pirate structure in the east of the Euphrates, the second Israel they want to establish.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in Sarajevo, "The real threat is the east of the Euphrates."

Bingo!

Was this not the theory at least some of us stated ever since the days that Syria's civil war turned into an invasion attempt, in other words, ever since the days the U.S. used Daesh as an excuse and started to invade the east of the Euphrates, including Syria's oil fields, by the hand of the Kurdistan Workers' Party's (PKK) Syrian affiliate, the Democratic Union Party (PYD), and its armed wing the People's Protection Units (YPG), which it calls "my ground forces"?

The theory that the pirate structure formed on the entire southern border of Turkey being a threat to our national security and that it is a spear between us and the Arab world, was not accepted by any group and any of our allies for sometime. Even among us.

Because, we witnessed certain decision-makers in Turkey act upon the theory that, "If a Kurdish state is going to be founded, it must be founded by us" (in reference to the terror corridor).

The double-headedness and discrepancy within the state was to the advantage of those wanting to build a terror corridor in Syria. As a matter of fact, the cost of the chain of mistakes made by the advocates of this theory in decision-making mechanisms was very heavy.

For example, remembering the process of moving the tomb of Suleyman Shah from Karakozak is sufficient enough.

The U.S., which started its attempts to form a terror corridor in the east of the Euphrates through the PYD-YPG-PKK back in that period, had received serious support from inside Turkey as well. I had written about it in this column. Certain patrons of the terrorist organization are settled in the dark rooms of Ankara.

And when it was noticed that the support turned into a "national security issue," radical changes happened in politics.

Remember, Peoples' Democracy Party (HDP) co-chair of the time Selahattin Demirtaş, had even said, "The PYD/YPG is going to cross over to the west of the Euphrates and you are going to helplessly watch." At the time that statement was made, the terrorist organization had long crossed over from Manbij to the west of the Euphrates with logistical support from the U.S.

I will not talk about the cost of the terror corridor for Turkey all over again here.

Lest we not forget what the PKK terrorist organization, which wants to turn the political void - that is believed to have formed after the June 6 elections - into an opportunity, did in the cities along our border and in Sur, Diyarbakır.

In their speech at the Sochi summit, which both President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin announced their Idlib agreement, the topic had come to the "east of the Euphrates."

The U.S., patron of the pirate structure in the east of the Euphrates, was the first one to notice that those statements would get a response.

The U.S. made a weapons shipment to the PYD/YPG-PKK terrorist organization with hundreds of trucks in the matter of a couple of days. In addition to this, it extended the "Manbij" carrot to us one more time.

It is unfathomable that certain groups in Turkey are against this theory, despite Lavrov even making statements in support of Turkey's theories.

The PYD/YPG-PKK terrorist organization's presence in the east of the Euphrates, together with the U.S., is not legitimate. Yet, when the topic comes to this, the theory that "Russia cannot be trusted," "the U.S.'s strategic partnership," and who knows why, the issue of the "Turkish-Kurdish brotherhood" is immediately opened to debate.

Turkey has no problem with neither Kurds in Turkey nor Syrian Kurds. Turkey's fight against the division theory the U.S. has been imposing on our region since the 1990s is in question.

Yet, heaven knows why, some people among us say, "If the division of our region is inevitable, we should be the ones doing it."

I had started by saying that the preservation of the status in Idlib did not signify preventing humanitarian tragedy alone.

Idlib being stable will help turn focus to the east of the Euphrates. The lack of a complete stabilization in Idlib for now has led to debates on the east of the Euphrates even at this stage.

I am very curious as to how the U.S. will respond to Lavrov.

Aren't you?
