Why Turkey should swap military strikes for water diplomacy

Arabnewsksa21 Oct, 2021News

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has voiced his anger over the killing of two Turkish policemen by Kurdish forces in Syria, describing the attack as ?the final straw? and warning that Ankara will take decisive action to eliminate what it views as a terrorist threat against its citizens. However, can Turkey be sure another military campaign will serve its purposes, especially in the lead-up to what appears to be a tightly contested election? A military strike can have unintended consequences and might not be the best choice, while any entanglement is unlikely to foster the sense of stability necessary to attract investors to the country. Since the Turkish leader has been focusing on attracting investment, a deal might be a better alternative.
