Syria, Russia and Turkey – the uneasy alliance that is reshaping world politics
The end of the Aleppo crisis and the Syrian ceasefire have produced an unlikely alliance. The relationship between Russia, Turkey and Syria is pivotal not only for the Middle East but also for global geopolitics.
Once a ceasefire is achieved in Syria the UN should offer the basic constitutional principles that will lead to permanent peace and development for all peoples of the world. This should include an organizational structure incorporating the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law. The heads of the four government branches should be chosen in direct elections. These and other changes will help Syria develop a constitution that will bring long-term stability and serve as a model for peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
