Abstract

[Gause describes the new complex Middle East order after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the Arab Uprisings as the “new Middle East Cold War” in which the links between domestic conflicts, transnational ideological, ethnic and political connections, and regional state policies have become more prominent. The civil war in Syria illustrates the main battlefield of this New Middle East Cold War. The chapter provides a transnational account of Turkey’s policy in Syria with regard to its relations with Syrian Turkomans. It tries to answers the following questions: How did Turkey utilize transnational ethnic ties with Syrian Turkomans? How did its kin-state policy evolve within the war? What are the limitations of Turkey’s policy? This chapter argues that Turkey’s own Kurdish issue and regional foreign policy considerations rather than ethnic ties are the main motives for Turkey’s alliance with Syrian Turkomans.]
