Vitaly Naumkin: “Turkey shouldn’t take part in the Syrian conflict”

According to US State Department spokeswoman Mary Harf, the U.S. has ruled out the possibility of a land operation in Syria and will not discuss establishing a no-fly zone, such as was seen in Libya. The reasons for this are clear. Establishing of a no-fly zone is too expensive, while for a land operation the Americans need the territory of Turkey. The head of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the RAS, Vitaly Naumkin, told Vestnik Kavkaza about Ankara’s role in the conflict.
