Turkey's Foreign Policy in Syria's Crisis; A Shift from the Brotherhood Approach to Returning to the First Issue of the National Security

The transformations known as the Islamic awakening led to the Turkey's allies in beliefs and faith, i.e. The Society of the Muslim Brothers (Muslim Brotherhood) gaining power. As the Muslim Brotherhood gained power, Turkey's officials came to the decision that cooperation with other states is now of no consequence and should advance a common plan in the region by forming strategic brotherly relations. As a result of the transformations we know as the Islamic awakening and the Arabic revolutions, there also happened a revolution in Turkey's relations with the Arab countries, especially those in North Africa, which also spread to Syria. Based on the aforementioned changes, the Turks turned their back on all the previous agreements with the Syrian regime. However, as the time passed, the Brotherhood couldn't see through their plans in Egypt, Tunisia and Syria, and Turkey had to deal with the Kurdish conflict. Due to the anarchy in Syria, the Kurds could expand their territories and were about to form their second Kurdish autonomous government after the Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq. The new state of events resulted in a change of strategies by Turkey.
