Syrian government has banned Turkish language classes.

Have the Turkmens in Syria been forgotten?

For years, the Turkmens have been struggling for the unity, homeland, and future of Syria; today, they should not be forced to defend their right to learn and preserve their own language.

Turkish education is not a privilege; it is the fundamental cultural right of the Turkmens.

Why is this happening, you might ask yourselves?

This situation arises because, unlike Iran, Turkey does not fully dominate its allies. The drawback of this approach is that these capitals maintain a high degree of independence. For instance, Damascus often chooses to collaborate with other Arab nations rather than engage with Turkish investments. On the bright side, this also spares Turkey from the potentially severe repercussions that could come from enforcing its hegemony, as seen in the cases of Iran and Syria, Iraq, Lebanon.

Let there be no doubt, Damascus would readily align with Israel if they were offered security guarantees that they deemed trustworthy.

Turkey's influence in Syria will continue to be significant, obviously, as long as the Israeli threat persists. However, once the new Syrian government negotiates an agreement with Tel Aviv, our relationship with Damascus will shift dramatically towards one of neighboring states prioritizing trade over military collaboration. This will happen.

This does not imply that we cannot establish clear boundaries for the Syrians that they must not overstep; however, the nature of our relationship will evolve, increasingly depending on Turkish military strength as it was in the past.

The next Israeli administration is likely to propose a deal to the Syrians. Remember my words. @Ali_Baba

They haven't banned it. There were optional languages offered in language class in school and they replaced it with French, which is a bureaucratic mistake, but Im sure with the new constitution, since they are giving Kurds language to be protected in the constitution, they will likely also add Turkish to it.
