Syria couldnt endure the thought of Hatay being unite with homeland and Syria still shows that Hatay is located in its map.Whereas the end of cencus and election where it was designated the public surplus of one third being Turk.On contrary to this,the population of Nusayri was constituting merely %10 of proportion.After Esad had dealt a blow in Syria,The Nusayri themselves decided to constitute a unity by stopping clashes with Sunni for a while.Whats more,a close link was occured between Syria and Esad. Syria supporters were cautious about increasing their population and the places where they settled to buy immovable property.The assertion is certified to hold a recent election after 10 years from 1938.Even if Turkey doesnt accept such an exintence of agreement openly,steps,connecting to Hatay is being taken by Turkey is extremely cautious. The government is subjected to a private security investigation for nominating for civil servant to Hatay.Besides,over numbered member of Nationaly information organization are available in Hatay for a period of time.Syria has kept on its activities towards Turkey with ways being not only open but also close.In this scape;Syria has support to PKK from abroad,supplying financing support to Nusayries in some localities of Hatay,it has worked to assure having property (but Nusayries knowing oppression regime closely in Syria is chosing Turkey)Syrias provided quota to the young being Hatay in its universities and supplies dishonoured scholarship.
Syrias efforts and actions against safety of Turkey isnt a new event.In the end of 1960s and the beginings of 1970s Syria supporting Turk organizations Morksist-Leninst,assisted ASALA being terror organization of Armenian.Therefore,Turkey wanted ASALA militants taken out Syria lands,giving a directive Syria in 1983.But in spite of that,Syria supported to PKK every kind of logistic,arm and military education after this date.
Syrias the most important strategic aim not only to get back Hatay,but also from relations of Syria-PKK family of Esat has supplied large amount of revenue.Syria has controlled narcotic commerse costing roughly 4 billion dollars on Bekaa Valley and roughly %20 of heroin going to America have been provided from area in Syria control.Syria has claimed the reason of supporting terror to be prevent Turkey from prevent Turkey control on its sources of water.But this pretension hasnt reflected reality.
The irrigable agricultural lands havent reflected reality just as Syria and as well as Iraq explained in their projects which they put forward about using of waters.Both of countries had striven to have some international support about this subject,thus they had struggled to form oppressions of economic and political.Although the problem of water is an artifical problem used by Syria for its profits,its going to constitute the most important of subjects which Turkey will dwell on policy of Middle East.Because;the countries and centers search in question want to write scenarios of war subtracting deliberately the subject from equation of Middle East-Water,turning in equation area have wanted to reach their goals,while a Turkey having bad relations with Syria and Iraq is struggling in these problems.
In spite of being signed with Syria treaty of cooperation and security in 1987,Syria has always used terrorism against Turkey.On October 1 1989,since the Prime Minister in that period accused Syria of terror, in October 21 1989 being retaliation against this,two Mig planes of Syria passing by boundary of Turkey had dropped the plane Tapu-Kadastro in Saman Mountains,county of Hatay,in result of this;it had caused two pilots and three technicans to die.Again the same year, Cemil Esad being brother of Esad had given a decleration about needing to be established a Kurd state in region and this state needs including Southeast Anatolia and Syria administration all the support to PKK.On December 1989 the Minister Salmon of Syria information had expressed to the journalists being Greek of Turkish citizenship in Cyprus that Hatay was an Arab land,but the problem couldnt be solved for a short time.According to this response Turkey was contented with put off Syria visit of Ministry of Internal Affairs Abdülkadir Aksu.
