Conférence publique du 21 mai 2026 - Episode #8 "Syrie, une nouvelle donne régionale ?" Bernard Hourcade (CNRS, CeRMI) et Jean Marcou (Sciences Po Grenoble – UGA) Modération : Philippe Pétriat (Université Paris 1-Panthéon Sorbonne) Jean Marcou, politiste spécialiste de la Turquie et Bernard Hourcade, géographe spécialiste de l'Iran, analysent l'évolution des relations de la Syrie avec la Turquie et l'Iran, de 1946 à nos jours. Dans un premier temps, Jean Marcou retrace la période allant de l'indépendance de la Syrie jusqu'aux années 1990. Durant cette période, la Syrie apparait comme le voisin le plus problématique de la Turquie. En effet, alors que la Turquie s'aligne sur le bloc occidental, la Syrie baasiste se rapproche de l'Union soviétique durant la guerre froide. Plusieurs différends aggravent cette rivalité : la question du Sandjak d'Alexandrette, le partage des ressources en eau du Tigre et de l'Euphrate et le soutien syrien au PKK kurde. Un rapprochement entre les deux pays s'opère dans les années 2000, après l'arrestation d'Abdullah Öcalan et la fin du soutien de la Syrie au PKK. Les relations diplomatiques et économiques connaissent un développement soutenu et cela jusqu'en 2011. Bernard Hourcade décrit les relations méfiantes que la Syrie entretient avec l'Iran, tourné à l'époque du Shah vers l'Occident. Dès la révolution islamique, la Syrie reconnaît le nouveau régime islamique afin de contrebalancer l'influence de l'Irak de Saddam Hussein au Moyen-Orient. Cette alliance se renforce durant la guerre Iran-Irak grâce à des partenariats militaires et stratégiques. Le soutien de la Syrie au Hezbollah contribue à son essor et renforce l'influence régionale de l'Iran. Malgré des intérêts communs contre Israël et l'extrémisme sunnite, certaines divergences idéologiques ont parfois fragilisé leur relation. La guerre en Syrie bouleverse profondément les équilibres régionaux. Les relations entre la Turquie et la Syrie entrent dans une période de forte hostilité en 2011, rompant avec la politique turque précédente du « zéro problème avec les voisins ». Après avoir tenté de jouer un rôle de médiateur auprès du régime de Bachar al-Assad, la Turquie soutient finalement les forces d'opposition. Son implication militaire s'accompagne parfois d'alliances controversées avec certains groupes djihadistes, notamment Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Les tensions avec d'autres puissances, comme la Russie dans la région d'Idlib, illustrent la complexité du conflit. La frontière turco-syrienne devient une zone de conflit marquée par des affrontements entre différentes factions. La Turquie fait face à plusieurs défis : l'accueil massif de réfugiés syriens, les tensions économiques et sociales liées à leur intégration ainsi que la montée d'un discours anti-réfugiés. De plus, l'autonomie kurde du Rojava suscite des inquiétudes à Ankara en raison des liens des YPG avec le PKK. Depuis la chute du régime de Bachar al-Asad, la Turquie a renoué un dialogue dynamique avec la Syrie et des projets de coopération économique, énergétique et éducative sont lancés. Toutefois, Ankara maintient une présence militaire dans le nord de la Syrie au nom de la sécurité et de la stabilité régionales. Le retour des réfugiés syriens installés en Turquie depuis 2011 (près de 3 millions) et l'opposition à toute constitution d'une entité kurde autonome constituent toujours deux lignes directrices de la politique turque à l'égard de la Syrie. Quant à l'Iran, sa stratégie d'expansion régionale a échoué face aux attaques israéliennes après la chute du régime de Bachar Al-Assad – qui a compliqué les échanges avec le Hezbollah au Liban. L'Iran subit une défaite idéologique et une perte d'influence territoriale dans un contexte d'évolutions des alliances favorisant les puissances sunnites telle que l'Arabie saoudite.

Drink from this well and you will never be thirsty. Hearing the truth refreshes us. Infiltrate the universities and you will soon control the government. Qatar is suing to hide Texas funding records. Our oil refineries are in danger. Shaping what's considered normal. Turkey and the Islamic Brotherhood are tied. Remember that Turkey is a NATO member. An attack on one member is an attack on all. The S-400 moment. Erdogan is not confused. He has a vision. The playbook was perfected in Syria. Nobody is connecting the Iraq part of the story. Iraq is all about oil and has only two ways to export it. Why Northern Iraq was eliminated. Kurdish revenues have been hurt too. Controls are now placed on choke points. Steal it or pump it because the oil has to move. The PKK enters the picture. Desalination plants are under threat. Every dependency is a lever. What's happening in Iraq is extortion. Some want to be in the background and not the main story. Why would Russia turn off Turkey's gas? LNG carrier rates suffer big shocks. Qatar too. There will be explosions in our country. Let's apply the Brotherhood designations consistently. We're in the long game stage now. Hold on tight and may God bless America.

The Turkish government is warning the United States and Israel against involving Iran's Kurdish minority in the war against the Iranian regime. Home to millions of Kurds, Turkey fears any such move could destabilise its ongoing peace process with Kurdish militants calling for an autonomous state. Concentrated in north-western Iran along the borders with Turkey and Iraq, Kurds are estimated to make up 8 to 17 percent of Iran's population.  As the war in the Middle East continues, several international news agencies reported talks between US officials and armed Iranian Kurdish groups. Seeking to assuage Turkish concerns, President Donald Trump last weekend ruled out such a move. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan welcomed Washington's assurances, but warned the threat remained. "Israel's intentions on this matter are no secret," he told reporters. "Israel has for years used Kurdish groups in the region as a proxy." Home to a large Kurdish minority, Turkey has fought a bitter war for decades against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is designated by Washington and the European Union as a terrorist organisation. Last year the PKK ended its armed struggle and committed to disbanding in a peace agreement with Turkey, but its affiliates in Syria and Iran are not part of this process – a distinction that keeps Ankara wary. "The Syrian branch of the PKK gave Turkey a hard time. Just as an autonomous zone within Syria was unacceptable, a PKK affiliate running the Iranian Kurdistan would be unacceptable – that's basically the state's position," explains Turkish international relations expert Soli Ozel. "They don't want a Kurdish independent state or an autonomous state anywhere in the region, because they think that it would contaminate [other Kurdish populations]." Turkey looks for regional help in its battle against Kurdish rebels in Iraq 'Dangerous gambit' For a decade, Turkey's military fought the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which Ankara accuses of ties to the PKK. Earlier this year, the new Damascus regime, backed by Ankara, retook most of the SDF's territory.  "Israel has a very long history with the PKK. They definitely have relations with SDF," claims Serhan Afacan, head of the Centre for Iranian Studies, a think tank based in Turkey. "So Israel can always go and try to support these Kurdish groups in Iran." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an address to Iran last Sunday, called on Iranians to rise up against the regime. "It is becoming clear that regime change is not an attainable goal just through bombing," says Asli Aydintasbas, a political commentator and Turkey specialist at the Washington-based Brookings Institution. "So I think Israelis are exploring other options, including ethnic competition domestically, working with ethnic groups, including Kurds." However, Aydintasbas warns that any attempt by Iranian Kurds to carve out an autonomous region would not only be met by strong resistance from Ankara, but also from Tehran. "The Iranian regime, though it's been unable to resist US operations and military strikes, still retains a significant amount of military power, at least enough to suppress its own people," she says. "This is a very dangerous gambit for all involved, including the Kurds." 'War with no winners': Middle East crisis enters a dangerous new phase Tensions with Israel Israel's support for Kurdish groups tied to the PKK has exacerbated Israeli-Turkish tensions, already running high amid Israel's war in Gaza and competition for regional influence. Analyst Ozel believes any Israeli support for Iranian Kurdish groups would fit with its long-term strategy for Iran and the wider region. "The Israelis would rather have a chaotic Iran than an Iran that has actually managed better, because no matter who runs Iran, I don't think they can play Israel's music," he argues. "But the real threat, as far as Israel is concerned, is to have a rival that has the weight to play the strategic game... which I think is one of the reasons why plenty of Israelis in positions of authority constantly attack Turkey these days, saying Turkey is the new Iran." Israel claims its attacks on Iran aim only to protect its security. However, Israeli support for Iranian Kurds would bring it into conflict with Ankara, a close Washington ally. For Trump, balancing Israeli and Turkish interests could be a major challenge in his campaign in Iran.

Los kurdos se encuentran frente a un paradoja: son indispensables cuando Occidente necesita aliados en la región, pero son abandonados cuando llegan los momentos de tomar decisiones políticas. El acuerdo firmado a finales de enero entre Siria y los kurdos sirios detuvo el sueño de un gran Kurdistán. La pérdida de autonomía del Rojava ha reavivado un sentimiento de inseguridad.

Les Kurdes se retrouvent face à un paradoxe : indispensables quand l'Occident a besoin d'alliés dans la région, abandonnés lorsque vient l'heure des choix politiques. L'accord signé fin janvier entre la Syrie et les Kurdes syriens a mis un coup d'arrêt au rêve d'un grand Kurdistan. La perte d'autonomie du Rojava a ravivé un sentiment d'insécurité. Reportage de Pauline Godart, Amar Al-Hameedawi et Dida Faridoon.

For the Kurdish people, history seems to repeat itself. Kurdish forces are an asset for the West when allies are needed in the region, but left aside when political choices need to be made. The agreement signed at the end of January between Damascus and the Syrian Kurds dealt a blow to the dream of a greater Kurdistan. Our team reports from Syria and Iraq.

L'accord conclu début février 2026 en Syrie entre le gouvernement et les FDS, Forces Démocratiques Syriennes, a été scruté de près par la communauté kurde turque, alors qu'un processus de paix a débuté en 2024 entre le gouvernement d'Ankara et le PKK, Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan. En Turquie, la communauté kurde partagée entre espoir, doute et désillusion Elle a suivi de très près l'accord conclu début février 2026 entre les Forces démocratiques syriennes (FDS) et les autorités de Damas, ainsi que les trois semaines d'offensive de l'armée syrienne qui l'ont précédé. Un décret octroie désormais des droits nationaux aux Kurdes de Syrie, le kurde sera langue officielle comme l'arabe, mais ces derniers voient s'envoler la perspective d'un territoire autonome. De l'autre coté de la frontière, ces événements ont ravivé les inquiétudes chez les Kurdes de Turquie alors que le gouvernement d'Erdogan est engagé dans un processus de paix avec le PKK, Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan, depuis 2024. Reportage à Ankara Anne Andlauer.   Terres rares et industrie européenne  L'Estonie accueille la première usine d'Europe de fabrication d'aimants permanents. Ces aimants faits d'un alliage de métaux rares ou de terres rares décuple les capacités des moteurs électriques. Une branche industrielle stratégique, dont la production dépend encore de la Chine à 90%. Même si la société Néo est canadienne, rapatrier cette production sur le territoire de l'UE participe à l'autonomie stratégique, mais aussi, grâce au soutien de la Commission européenne, au développement d'un territoire en difficulté économique. Reportage de notre correspondante dans la région, Marielle Vitureau.   La chronique musique de Vincent Théval :  Antartica de Marta del Grandi (Italie)   Au salon professionnel Wine Paris, les producteurs européens saluent l'accord UE-Mercosur L'édition 2026 de ce salon de référence, qui a accueilli pendant trois jours 6 500 exposants représentant 60 pays, a été assombrie par la chute vertigineuse du marché et le recul des exportations. Il a donc été beaucoup question des récents accords de libre-échange et notamment de celui conclu avec le Mercosur. Jordi Lafon-Lacaze s'y est rendu au Parc des Expositions.

Syriens Kurden wehren sich gegen Damaskus. Die humanitäre Lage im belagerten Kobane ist katastrophal.

The Syrian Army has made sweeping gains against Kurdish-led forces in northeast Syria, dealing a major blow to Syrian Kurdish autonomy and handing victories to both Damascus and neighbouring Turkey. With Washington abandoning its backing of the militia alliance, the Syrian Democratic Forces now face disbandment or renewed fighting. Within days, Syrian government troops swept aside the SDF and took control of vast areas of territory. The offensive followed the collapse of talks on integrating the SDF into the Syrian Army. Washington's shift proved decisive. “The game changer was the American permission, the American green light to [Syrian President] Ahmed al-Sharaa. That opened the door to Damascus launching the offensive,” said Syria expert Fabrice Balanche, of Lyon University. The SDF had been a key US ally in the fight against Islamic State and relied on American support to deter an attack by Damascus. But with Islamic State now weakened and Sharaa joining Washington's alliance against the group, the Kurds lost their leverage. “Trump viewed the relationship as temporary, not a true alliance,” said Balanche, a municipal councillor with France's rightwing Republicans party. French journalist arrested in Turkey while covering pro-Kurdish protest released US withdrawal and rapid collapse As Washington ended its support, many Arab tribes quit the Kurdish-led coalition. They aligned with Damascus, allowing government forces to advance quickly in Arab-majority areas. Several prisons holding Islamic State members fell to government control, with reports that hundreds escaped. Fears of wider instability pushed Washington to broker a ceasefire between the SDF and the Syrian government. Under the deal, SDF forces are to disband and merge into Syrian government units, a move backed by Ankara. Turkey has strongly supported the Damascus offensive. It accuses Kurdish elements within the SDF of links to the PKK, which has fought a decades-long insurgency against the Turkish state. “Turkey is certainly behind all these operations,” said international relations professor Huseyin Bagci of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. “The Turkish defence minister, General Chief of Staff, has recently been in Syria. So there is probably a common action.” Turkey blocks calls for regime change in Iran as protests escalate Kurdish tensions inside Turkey The assault has triggered protests by members of Turkey's large Kurdish minority in support of Syrian Kurds. It has also coincided with talks between the pro-Kurdish Dem Party, the Turkish government and the outlawed PKK aimed at ending the conflict. The PKK declared a ceasefire and pledged to disband last year, but talks stalled months ago. Ankara has blamed the deadlock on the SDF's refusal to join the PKK's disarmament commitment. The fighting in Syria could deepen Kurdish disillusionment with the peace process, political analyst Sezin Oney, of the Politikyol news portal, warned. “They pictured this peace process as a big win for the PKK that finally all these rights, all the political rights, cultural rights, everything would be recognized, and a new era would begin," Oney said. "It's not that, and it won't be that there is nobody in Turkey on the side of the government who was envisioning such a change or anything of the sort." The Dem Party had few options left. “The only thing Dem can do is rally the Kurdish public in Turkey, and it is just going to be disbursed,” Oney added. Syrian army offensive in Aleppo draws support from Turkey Risk of wider bloodshed Turkish police have broken up many pro-SDF protests using water cannon and gas, carrying out hundreds of arrests. French journalist Raphael Boukandoura was detained and later released, in a move rights groups said was meant to intimidate foreign media. Without US intervention, Damascus would push further into Kurdish-held areas, Balanche warned. “Sharaa will seize everything." The risk of large-scale violence, he added, was growing in a region marked by tribal rivalries and years of war. “Northeastern Syria is a very tribal area. The tribal leaders who are mobilizing their groups, their fighters, and they're attacking," Balanche said. “Because of 10 years of civil war, you have a lot of vengeance that was under the table, and now everything is exploding. So it could be very bloody.”

Aaron explains: Why the March 2025 framework agreement ultimately failed Why Sunni Arab tribes abandoned the SDF — and how Damascus prepared the ground How and why fighting erupted in Kurdish neighbourhoods of Aleppo The rapid fall of SDF-held areas in Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, and Hasakah What happened at ISIS prisons and detention camps during the collapse Why claims of ‘Kurdish abandonment' by the United States are misleading The PKK factor — and the risk of a new insurgency or terrorism campaign What Syria's consolidation means for ISIS, regional stability, and the country's future Follow Aaron on X: https://x.com/azelin This episode includes BONUS MATERIAL after the credits ONLY for subscribers to the Conflicted Community.

Halki Theological Seminary, shut by Turkey in 1971, is back in the headlines ahead of Pope Leo XIV's visit to Turkey. Journalists are reporting that there is a sense of optimism that Turkey will reopen the school. This attention on Halki follows a renewed focus on Orthodox Christianity that includes the Ecumenical Patriarch's visit to the White House, references to the Russian Orthodox Church in Trump's Ukraine peace plan, and questions about whether the Russians are running an influence operation in DC. Endy Zemenides, HALC's Executive Director, joins Thanos Davelis as we break all of this down.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Optimism ahead of pope's visit to Turkey for reopening of Istanbul's Greek Orthodox seminary‘We must strive for unity of the churches'White House to meet clergy with ties to pro-war Russian Orthodox ChurchAre the Russians Running an Influence Operation in Congress?Greek secondary school teachers to be trained in using AI in classroomTurkish delegation meets Ocalan for first time to discuss PKK disarmament

This week President Erdogan said Turkey had entered a ‘new juncture' in the Kurdish peace process, signalling he was open to the idea of jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan addressing lawmakers. In another startling move, he also suggested that he was open to the release of the jailed Kurdish politician Selahattin Demirtaş. Lisel Hintz, Assistant Professor of International Relations at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and an expert on Turkey, joins Thanos Davelis to break down what these steps could mean for the Kurdish peace process.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Erdoğan says Turkey has entered ‘new juncture' in Kurdish peace processIonian Sea gas exploration deal a ‘vote of confidence'Greece deepens US energy ties with first gas exploration deal in 40 yearsAnkara dismisses Eurofighter use conditions

This week Thomas is joined by academic and RUSI fellow, Dr. Burcu Ozcelik, a leading expert on Turkish domestic and foreign policy, particularly its relations with the Kurds and the Middle East. With a Ph.D. from Cambridge University on the topic of the PKK and their path to political reconciliation, Burcu has written widely about the Kurds and their relationship with the Turkish state - you can find her work over on X @BurcuAOzcelik Burcu provides a deep dive into the history of the Kurds, a people divided across national borders after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, and traces the evolution of the PKK from its Marxist-Leninist, separatist origins to a group that has now shifted its focus to achieving political and cultural rights within Turkey. The pair also explore the political motives of President Erdoğan and the Turkish establishment, who are seeking to finally resolve the Kurdish issue as a matter of long-term statecraft, before concluding with a forward-looking analysis of Turkey's role as a rising middle power in the post-Assad Middle East, which now prioritizes stability and economic connectivity over past ideological ambitions.
