Turkish President Abdullah Gul attended and addressed the UN General Assembly. As things stand, Turkey has not achieved what it sought with its Syria policy. Bashar al-Assad is still in power. In a way, Turkey seems to have withdrawn from the Syria issue for the time being. According to academic and journalist Hasan Bulent Kahraman, who accompanied Gul to New York, Turkey can’t forecast how the Syrian issue will shape up while new groups emerge by the day.
Turkey actually lives the Syria case. It is enough to know that the largest Arab Alawite population is in Turkey. Then, of course, there is a massive Syrian refugee presence in Turkey.
