\tLe journal arabe de Londres Al-Quds al-Arabi<\/em> (voir sa description<\/a> sur Wikip\u00e9dia<\/em>) a publi\u00e9, le 12 octobre 2012 un \u00e9ditorial de son r\u00e9dacteur-en-chef Abdel-Beri Atwan, o\u00f9 est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e et d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e une th\u00e8se selon laquelle l’affaire de l’avion de Syrian Air<\/em> intercept\u00e9 et forc\u00e9 de se poser sur l’a\u00e9roport d’Ankara pour une dur\u00e9e de neuf heures est un montage et une provocation syriennes, dans ce cas remarquablement r\u00e9ussie. (A noter que Al-Quds al-Arabi<\/em>, journal panarabe ind\u00e9pendant fond\u00e9 par un Palestinien expatri\u00e9 et \u00e9dit\u00e9 \u00e0 Londres, n’est pas particuli\u00e8rement favorable \u00e0 Assad.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tSelon Abdel-Beri Atwan, il s’agissait pour la Syrie, qui n’a pas grand’chose \u00e0 perdre dans cette sorte d’op\u00e9rations si l’on consid\u00e8re la position extr\u00eame o\u00f9 les \u00e9v\u00e8nements l’ont plac\u00e9e, d’impliquer la Russie d’une fa\u00e7on plus marqu\u00e9e en faveur de sa cause, en activant un antagonisme entre la Turquie et la Russie. Cela aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 le cas, notamment \u00e0 cause de la nervosit\u00e9 et de la maladresse de la Turquie, qui a de toutes les fa\u00e7ons imm\u00e9diatement \u00e9pous\u00e9 compl\u00e8tement la th\u00e8se d’un transport illicite d’armements russes, semble-t-il sans aucune certitude \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, provoquant une tr\u00e8s violente r\u00e9action russe. Effectivement, l’effet est un refroidissement tr\u00e8s remarquable des relations entre la Turquie et la Russie, ce dont la Turquie n’a certainement pas besoin dans les circonstances actuelles, et qui repr\u00e9sente un tr\u00e8s grand embarras diplomatique pour elle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tAbdel-Beri Atwan affirme que les informations qui ont conduit les Turcs \u00e0 intercepter l’avion syrien, qui seraient \u00e9videmment fausses quant \u00e0 l’importance ou m\u00eame \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sence de syst\u00e8mes ou parties de syst\u00e8mes d’armes dans l’avion, auraient \u00e9t\u00e9 pass\u00e9es \u00e0 la Turquie par les Syriens, par des canaux d\u00e9tourn\u00e9s pour assurer leur cr\u00e9dibilit\u00e9. Les Turcs auraient accept\u00e9 l’information et r\u00e9agi avec nervosit\u00e9 et pr\u00e9cipitation, en prenant la mesure extr\u00eame qu’on a vue et en assurant des conditions difficiles pour les passagers. Tout cela a profond\u00e9ment irrit\u00e9 les Russes qui ont r\u00e9agi violemment. Il est \u00e9galement remarquable que cette affaire ait \u00e9t\u00e9 dirig\u00e9e en personne par Erdogan et son ministre des affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res ; cela montre chez les deux hommes une grande nervosit\u00e9, cet \u00e9l\u00e9ment pouvant avoir \u00e9galement constitu\u00e9 un facteur important pour ceux qui auraient d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 et ex\u00e9cut\u00e9 une telle l’op\u00e9ration.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tUne th\u00e8se initiale, que contredit compl\u00e8tement Abdel-Beri Atwan, est que l’information sur le vol syrien venait des services US. Par ailleurs, il est \u00e9galement possible que les deux th\u00e8ses s’accordent, et que les Syriens aient r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 intoxiquer les services US et \u00e0 faire transiter par eux et vers les dirigeants turcs cette information, la blanchissant du m\u00eame coup. Il faut aussi noter que le d\u00e9partement d’\u00c9tat, poursuivant sa politique aveugle et maximaliste courante, a soutenu directement et d’une fa\u00e7on sonore les Turcs dans cette affaire, les f\u00e9licitant de l’interception. Cela a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 aggraver encore la tension avec la Russie. Pour l’instant, on ne sait rien de public sur les mati\u00e8res et marchandises saisies ou non par les Turcs apr\u00e8s le s\u00e9jour forc\u00e9 de l’avion \u00e0 Ankara, sinon les d\u00e9n\u00e9gations furieuses et circonstanci\u00e9es des Russes, assorties de demandes pressantes d’explication des autorit\u00e9s turques (voir le 13 octobre 2012<\/a>, l’intervention de Lavrov).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tVoici des parties importantes, et essentielles pour l’expos\u00e9 de la th\u00e8se, de l’\u00e9ditorial de Abdel-Beri Atwan (traduction de l’arabe en anglais) <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abNowadays, no one wants to be in the shoes of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, after the flames of the Syrian crisis reached the edge of his robe, threatening to erode the economic miracle he secured during his ten-year term. The Syrian cunningness, or what is left of it, placed the Turkish prime minister before a dangerous predicament. Indeed, the Kurdistan Workers Party’s attacks in the southeastern part of the country have escalated, the border with Syria is ablaze due to the exchanged bombings and the Turkish opposition led by the People’s Party has strongly returned to the forefront of the events after it perceived the Syrian crisis as being the ammunition it lacked throughout the past years to efficiently strike the Justice and Development Party.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbPresident Bashar al-Assad, the friend who became a fierce enemy for Mr. Erdogan, has managed even if temporarily to provoke the Turkish fox and cause it to react in a way going against its usual collectedness and wisdom. This was seen when the Turkish warplanes forced a Syrian civilian aircraft coming from Moscow to land at the Ankara’s airport, under the pretext it was carrying prohibited military material. We do not think that the reason behind the hijacking of the Syrian civilian plane was its illegitimate cargo This step aimed at retaliating against the Syrian regime and responding to its provocations which started with the downing of a Turkish reconnaissance aircraft over the Mediterranean Sea in May, and ended with the bombardment of a Turkish village on the border, leading to the death of a woman and her four children who were paradoxically of Arab Syrian origins<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe plane could not have been carrying nuclear bombs or chemical weapons, considering that the latter are present in Syria and the first are carried by missiles and not civilian aircraft. Moreover, there is a direct air line between Moscow and Damascus, and we do not think that the Turkish authority, no matter how powerful its army may be, would repeat this operation had the targeted plane been Russian. The Turkish government has placed itself in a dual predicament, one of which is old with Syria, while the second is with Moscow which had an angry reaction, featuring Vladimir Putin’s annulment of a visit to Ankara this month and the Russian government’s call on Turkey to issue urgent and convincing clarifications for forcing the plan to land and threatening the lives of 17 Russian passengers who were on board<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbBy forcing a Syrian civilian plane to land at the Ankara Airport, Mr. Erdogan alleviated the pressures on Damascus’ ruler, who might have been the one who leaked the reports about the existence of an illegal freight on the abovementioned plane to lead Erdogan into this trap and implicate him in hostility with Moscow, with which he signed a commercial agreement for several hundred billion dollars ten days ago We have said it before and we will say it again The Syrian regime has nothing to lose, but Mr. Erdogan could lose a lot. This is why we advise him to show self-restraint because he will come out as the biggest loser even if he were to win the war on Syria. Waging war and achieving victory are sometimes easy, but the real problem resides in the post-victory stage, and he should ask his American allies who have an experienced answer about that.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 15 octobre 2012 \u00e0 06H28<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" L’avion syrien saisi par la Turquie : l’hypoth\u00e8se de la provocation Le journal arabe de Londres Al-Quds al-Arabi (voir sa description sur Wikip\u00e9dia) a publi\u00e9, le 12 octobre 2012 un \u00e9ditorial de son r\u00e9dacteur-en-chef Abdel-Beri Atwan, o\u00f9 est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e et d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e une th\u00e8se selon laquelle l’affaire de l’avion de Syrian Air intercept\u00e9 et forc\u00e9 de… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[15145,15144,3737,15146,3867,2613],"class_list":["post-73448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bloc-notes","tag-al-arabi","tag-al-quds","tag-erdogan","tag-intoxication","tag-syrie","tag-turquie"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73448\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
