💬 "The main priorities in #Turkey's long-standing #Iraq policy are security, territorial integrity and improved economic relations. For #Ankara, the Sunnis have never been a priority relative to these agenda items." @mehmtalaca for @amwajmediahttps://t.co/vahB5TkDHr
💬 NEW: "A new Turkish approach also comes with risks. If #Ankara bases its #Lebanon policy on its restored ties with the #Gulf, it might expose Turkish-Lebanese relations to the volatility of its Gulf relationships." @idrisokuducu for @amwajmediahttps://t.co/ifhZmV8hQN
💬 "#Turkey attaches importance to relations with Iraqi Sunnis given historical and ideological linkages and geographical proximity. #Ankara’s relations with non-#Sunni Iraqi groups have experienced highs and lows since 2003." @mehmtalaca for @amwajmediahttps://t.co/vahB5TCf61
💬 NEW: "#Turkey understands that any #Sunni-centred policy will fail. It is also clear that #Ankara would gain more sympathy on the Iraqi street and trust from Iraqi political elites by transcending sectarian boundaries." @mehmtalaca for @amwajmediahttps://t.co/vahB5TkDHr
💬 "While strengthening relations with #Erbil has security and economic benefits, #Ankara stands with Baghdad on ideological and political issues such as Kurdish independence and the status of the 'disputed territories'." @mehmtalaca for @amwajmediahttps://t.co/IIdhMJEPdK
