This statement aligns with the analysis of Dr. Mohamed Walid Yousef, head of ICGER, who emphasized that Aleppo is the key to controlling the Levant. Dr. Yousef has argued that whoever controls Aleppo controls Damascus, and whoever dominates the Aleppo (Syria) \u2013 Mosul (Iraq) axis commands the rest of the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at the 8th Regional Conference of the Justice and Development Party in Erzurum, eastern Turkey, on December 14, 2024, Erdogan declared: \u201cT\u00fcrkiye earns praise as an island of stability in the middle of this turmoil and stands out as a key country of the region.\u201d<a href=\"#_edn1\" id=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Yousef, in a seminar held at ICGER on December 13, 2024, and titled \u201cThe Geopolitical Consequences of Geostrategic Shifts in Syria,\u201d stated that \u201cthe fall of the regime in Syria has geopolitical consequences that will reach Egypt, Iraq, and the entire region.\u201d He stressed that \u201cthe Aleppo-Mosul axis holds immense geopolitical and geostrategic importance in the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further noted that \u201chistory, experience, and evidence demonstrate that whoever controls this axis and establishes dominance over it controls Iraq, the Levant, and the Middle East as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Yousef added, \u201cTurkish President Recep Erdogan repeatedly emphasizes in his speeches his desire to seize control of Aleppo and Mosul. This stems from the advice of historians and strategists close to him, who argue that if Erdogan seeks to revive the Ottoman Empire and restore the Seljuk Empire, he must control Mosul and Aleppo to command the triangle\u2019s vertices: Aleppo (Syria), Mosul (Iraq), and Konya (Turkey).\u201d He explained that \u201cErdogan already controls Konya within Turkey, has now secured Aleppo, and only Mosul remains. Hence, his sights are set on Iraq, especially given the ongoing struggle between Iran and Turkey over the Aleppo-Mosul axis since 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Yousef also addressed the geopolitical and strategic shields over a year ago in a seminar titled \u201cThe Geopolitical Landscape 100 Years After the Treaty of Lausanne,\u201d held on October 26, 2023. In that seminar, he highlighted that Iran, Turkey, and Egypt serve as geopolitical shields, while the Aleppo-Mosul and Damietta-Ismailia-Alexandria axes are critical regional strategic corridors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" id=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akparti.org.tr\/en\/news\/more-peaceful-days-than-ever-before-await-turkiye-14-12-2024-16-59-13\/\">https:\/\/www.akparti.org.tr\/en\/news\/more-peaceful-days-than-ever-before-await-turkiye-14-12-2024-16-59-13\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkish President Recep Erdogan asserted that Turkey has become a key player in the Middle East following the fall of the Baath Party regime in Syria.

At the International Center for Geopolitical and Economic Studies, we are working to shift politics from an art based on probabilities and speculation to a science based on rules, harnessing classical and quantum political analysis to interpret international relations and geostrategic equations. We aim to identify and isolate geopolitical facts to become able to control and restructure them. Our objective is to uncover the physical laws linking political reality to economic reality to prevent wars, resolve complex crises, and spread peace worldwide.","sameAs":["https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=61552288207858","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/international-center-for-geopolitical-and-economic-research-icger\/?viewAsMember=true","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/ICGER_ICGER"],"url":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/author\/icger\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/09a0209d-de13-4e76-8aea-231eeb570e0c-300x207-1.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1843"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1843\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1845,"href":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1843\/revisions\/1845"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
