The Conflict in Syria 2011
In the next paragraphs we will present the Guner and Koc (2018) main discussion on the Balance Theory in Syrian conflict as they indicates the following: Syria is considered a mirror that reflects competing interests at the international level, and therefore it is not possible to analyze the internal situation in Syria in isolation from analyzing the situation in the countries surrounding Syria directly in addition to regional and global countries, and in the following lines we will disclose the analyzes of how friendship and enmity relations produce stability or instability in Syria under the presumption that the transport of natural gas from the Persian (Arab) Gulf to Europe is tied to the control of Syrian territory. An independent Kurdish state covering Northern Syria under control of the U.S. or Russia would benefit either major power in their global energy competition. What matters is not power but the foreign policy conduct of friendship and enmity, where we will focus here on the directions of Turkish foreign policy and the possibilities associated with these directions.
