Politically and medialy escalating calls and communication platforms for Syria to return to its frozen seat since 2012
- A prominent expert affirms that the Arab world lives in a political situation that cannot take a stand or issue a vision
Afrasianet - Syria's return to its frozen Arab seat since 2012, looms on the horizon of meetings of all levels
And "the waving of the Syrian return will remain present," even if the university allowed Damascus to attend the meeting exceptionally, according to a prominent expert on the Middle East who believes that the calculations for completing this are "complicated."
The emergency ministerial meeting, which took place at the request of Egypt, which has discrepancies with Turkey, the support of several countries (not named) and consultation with Iraq, the President of the University Council in its current session to discuss the Turkish "spring of peace" operation east of the Euphrates, northern Syria.
And the expert's talk about the temporary waving of Syria's return to its Arab seat, in light of the Turkish operation, comes a confirmation soon, which was reported by local reports in Egypt about an unnamed Arab official source.
The same source says that "a number of foreign ministers (untouched by them) will certainly be raised during their words about the return of the frozen Syrian seat in the university, adding that" it will actually be discussed widely by foreign ministers. "
This broad possible discussion came in the source’s conversation a day after the Egyptian, Hossam Zaki, who is the assistant secretary-general of the Arab League on the day of the “Spring of Peace” process, confirmed that the League stands clearly against it, given that these actions affect the sovereignty of a member state of the Arab League, which is Syria.
He added: "The Arab League suffices to express a political position and we cannot say that we are active in this crisis, or we have the ability to influence the state that threatens the sovereignty of a member state of the Arab League, which is Turkey."
** Syria's return to its seat .. a wave waving from Egypt strongly
And the "political position", according to Zaki, did not explicitly suggest Syria returning to its seat, or approaching it in light of Arab differences, but a verbal escalation in this direction began in Egypt, in contrast to the official approach that called for an emergency ministerial meeting of the Arab League.
Parties loyal to the Egyptian regime, including Al-Nasiri, Al-Wafd and Al-Jeel, called for Syria to return to its seat, and through the communication platforms in Egypt, sought Egyptian tweets calling for the same.
The media close to the authorities in Egypt, Ahmed Moussa, on the start of the Turkish operation in northern Syria, called for Damascus to return to its seat in the Arab League in its televised program at the time.
This call comes about a month after Egypt’s Foreign Minister said that “Syria is an important Arab country and there are consultations between Arab countries to agree on the appropriate and appropriate time for its return to the Arab League.”
From Palestine, Hassan Asfour, the former Palestinian negotiator, said in his article on one of the websites that "the decision, which was 8 years ago against Syria, must end immediately, and Arab countries announce the cancellation of all decisions that have affected Syria's position."
When asked that the Turkish operation would be the “Othman shirt” that would return Damascus to the Arab League, the writer Abd al-Bari Atwan asked, on the day after the Turkish operation, in an article he had reported in his Twitter account, after a day of his surprise about how to discuss Syria with the university while it was absent from its Arab seat .
Baghdad usually demands that Syria return to its Arab seat, the most prominent of which was the invitation of Iraq’s representative to the Arab League, Ahmed Nayef Al-Dulaimi, to restore Syria’s membership to the university, in a speech to him at a university meeting.
From the end of 2018, Arab countries took steps to restore relations with the Assad regime, including the visit of the ousted president Omar al-Bashir to Damascus, and the announcement by the UAE and Bahrain to return work in their embassies to Syria, amid Arab countries' interest in the file of Syria's reconstruction, which requires prior normalization of relations.
And recently, an Arab handshake was transmitted on the surface of Arab events, televised recently by the Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit to the Syrian delegation at the United Nations General Assembly, before the Arab official confirmed in newspaper statements that the situation regarding Syria’s return to the university had not been resolved.
** Extraordinary attendance and waving the Syrian return is possible
For his part, says Mukhtar Ghobashi, Vice President of the Arab Center for Political and Strategic Studies (non-governmental), "Many things were suggesting the return of Syria by the Turkish operation, most notably the handshake of Aboul Gheit to the Syrian delegation."
He added: "I want to push the process to reconsider Syria's return to its seat, especially since it is called by Egypt, and the university is expected to announce its solidarity with Syria and start steps to return Syria to the Arab system."
"The talk about Syria's return to its seat will remain and will be today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It is a continuous conversation, but difficulties are facing it, most notably the political labyrinth of the Arab world that has no position or vision."
