Abstract:
This article aims to explore the dynamics of the relationship between Türkiye and Russia concerning the Syrian conflict, identifying areas of convergence and divergence in their interests. Given the persistent security concerns posed by the Syrian conflict, the study employs various methodologies including historical, sociological, institutional, and comparative analysis. It delves into the regional processes, each country’s stance, and their interactions in resolving the Syrian crisis. The article identifies sources of internal instability and assesses potential challenges both nations might confront in case of further escalation. Special emphasis is placed on examining the obstacles and prospects for enhancing Russian-Turkish relations in this context. The analysis reveals that despite the dismantling of the «Islamic State’s» «caliphate» in Syria, external actors remain invested in controlling occupied territories to influence conflict resolution. Geopolitical competition and regional politics emerge as key factors shaping relations between two states in the Syrian context. Nonetheless, both parties exhibit a preference for dialogue over conflict escalation in addressing emerging issues.
