When one thinks of Türkiye and Syria together in recent years, two concepts come to mind most often: Military operations and migration. However, in Türkiye, the Syrian conflict has been viewed through a broader framework that encompasses both concepts which is security.
The main topics of the book can be summarized as follows:
· Border issues, sovereignty disputes, alliances and military interventions in Türkiye-Syria relations.
· The effects of the civil war in Syria on Türkiye's foreign policy, economy, social structure and internal security.
· Reflections of the civil war on Türkiye 's relations with Iran, the US and Russia.
· Increasing separatist and radical Salafist terrorism in Türkiye in line with the spillover effect of civil wars.
· Cross-border operations and Türkiye 's military capacity.
· The problem of migration.
Within the framework of the topics addressed, the book provides a comprehensive reading of the security problems caused by the Syrian Civil War on Türkiye. We believe that this book will shed light on why Türkiye perceives what is happening in Syria from a security perspective. In fact, the main idea of the book is simple: Syria has always been a security issue for Türkiye since the 1930s and it is still a security issue now. After 100 years, the main idea has not changed. The only thing that has changed is how security is defined.
