We make sense of Turkish politics and foreign policy with in-depths interviews. Broadcasting live from Ankara, Turkey.
Mohammed A. Salih, a non-resident senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and analyst of Kurdish affairs, joined Turkey recap editor-in-chief Diego Cupolo to discuss developments in Syria and how they may factor into the Turkey-PKK peace process.
Salih covered recent clashes in southern Syria between Bedouin and Druze groups, which left more than 1,400 dead. He also discussed how recent instability in Syria is viewed by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which has been engaging the central government in Damascus on integration efforts.
Implications for Ankara are included throughout with considerations on regional actors, such as the United States, Israel, Iran and Iraq.
