Senior
Fellow at the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies at the Institute of
Oriental Studies Boris Dolgov told Radio Sputnik that the prospect of
Turkey's military invasion in Syria is "very high."
The current
activity at the Turkish-Syrian border suggests that Turkey is
preparing to invade Syria, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor
Konashenkov said Thursday.
For its
part, the Saudi Arabian authorities have declared readiness to take
part in a ground operation in Syria. According to the Minister of
Defense of the Kingdom Advisor Gen. Ahmed Asiri, in the Syrian
territory, the Saudi military will fight only with Daesh.
Senior
Fellow at the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies at the Institute of
Oriental Studies Boris Dolgov told Radio Sputnik that Turkey and
Saudi Arabia have always supported radical Islamists in Syria who are
fighting in the Syrian territory against the government army and
President Bashar Assad.

further said, “There is also the financial interests of Turkey
which is the oil business captured by Daesh. This is also the reason
as to why the Turkish leadership right now is supporting radical
Islamists,” the expert told Sputnik.

stressing this point said that, “I believe that Turkey's likelihood
of military intervention in Syria is very high. The Turkish
leadership has long been saying that the Turkish troops need to
protect Syrian civilians. Added to this statement there are
allegations suggesting that Russia has bombed civilian objects, which
is absolute nonsense. But it can be a pretext for an invasion,” the
expert concluded.
