🧵🧵Thread:

1️⃣ I go against most analyst concerning the interpretation of the latest statements from #Turkish officials on the #Syria|n issue. Here are some of the points:

➡️ I don't believe these statements are directed towards #Assad regime rather than #Russia 2️⃣

➡️ #Moscow can block/ hinder #Tukiye's anticipated military op. #Putin pressured #Turkiye to contact #Assad to resolve the issue in the North

➡️ Türkiye is showing #Russia that it is trying but Assad is not committed to resolve any of the serious issues in #Syria

I did some basic open source-online search on this #US-based “#Turkey Democracy Project” & here is what I found: 2️⃣

✅It has 11 member in the Board of Directors and 2 members on the Team

✅Out of 13 people in a project dedicated for Turkey, only 1 Member is Turkish

✅Turkish media said he’s a FETO member too

✅The guy left his position in the project only few days after announcing it!
