"Since 2011, Turkey's 'zero problems with neighbours' foreign policy has been put to the test in Syria. While Ankara was hesitant at first, it began to draw red lines and actively endorse regime change in Damascus. Subsequently, the boundaries established by then Prime Minister Erdogan and then foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu were not enforced. Therefore, with the situation in Syria deteriorating, the choices for Ankara became more limited." (author's abstract)

"After decades of conflict, Syrian-Turkish relations transformed into a close cooperation that has deepened throughout the 2000s. The reasons behind this can be found in a culmination of domestic, regional and international factors. Changes of leadership in both countries have contributed to the relationship, as well as common security threats after the Iraq War. Recent economic policy shifts have led to a talk of integration - a free trade agreement is already in effect, visa requirements have been lifted, the High-Level Strategic Council is at work, and through the Levant project, free movement of people and goods is on the table. Portrayed as "a model for Turkey's relations with other Middle Eastern countries", this paper looks at Syrian-Turkish relations, the reasons for and extent of the relationship and possible drawbacks for the future."

Cet article analyse les relations de la Turquie avec la Syrie depuis mars 2011, date du début du soulèvement syrien. Après avoir rappelé les années 2000 durant lesquelles les relations turco-syriennes se renforcèrent, ce papier se concentre sur la position de la Turquie face aux développements de la crise syrienne. Il montre que ce soulèvement a eu un rôle important menant au dévoilement des limites de l'étroite relation entre les deux pays dans la décennie 2000, soulignant ainsi la faiblesse de la politique moyen-orientale de la Turquie, comme créant de grands défis pour la politique turque tant étrangère qu'intérieure.
