Abstract

“Arap Baharı”ndan bu yana Orta Doğu’da çeşitli çatışmalar yaşanmaktadır ve birçok köktenci grup ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu gruplardan biri de kendini devlet olarak adlandıran, El-Kaide’nin yerini alarak en etkin uluslararası terör örgütü, büyük ölçekli terör saldırılarının ana destekçisi, aşırıcı ve terörist ideolojinin savunucusu ve dünyanın dört bir yanındaki birçok köktenci terör örgütünün sadakat gösterdiği örgüt halini gelen “İslam Devleti” (İD) dir. Bu terör örgütüne karşı büyük bir askerî güce ve siyasi etkiye sahip olan iki ülke olan ABD ve Rusya tarafından gerçekleştirilen saldırılar göreceli etkili olmuştur. Ancak ABD ile Rusya Suriye sorunuyla ilgili farklı görüşlere ve bu nedenle İD ile mücadele araçları da farklı odaklara sahiptir. ABD, Suriyeli muhalefeti desteklerken, Rusya Suriye muhalefetiyle ve İD’yle mücadelesinde Suriye hükümetine yardım etmektedir. Sahip oldukları farklı çıkarlar nedeniyle, ABD’nin ve Rusya’nın Orta Doğu’daki politikaları da İD’nin ortaya çıkmasından bu yana bazı değişiklikler göstermiş ve bir dizi stratejik oyunu ortaya koymuştur. Dünyanın en önemli iki uluslararası gücü olan Rusya ve ABD arasında Orta Doğu’daki oyun tüm dünyanın dikkatini çekmiştir. Bu nedenle, İD’yle mücadelede ABD ile Rusya arasındaki uluslararası oyunun tam olarak anlaşılması, Orta Doğu’daki karmaşık durumun daha kapsamlı bir şekilde anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunacaktır.

International Game between the Obama Administration of the US and Russia in the Fight against the “Islamic State”

Abstract

Since the “Arab Spring”, a variety of conflicts have erupted in the region and various extremist groups have emerged, especially the quasi-state “Islamic State” (IS), which has replaced the Al Qaeda to become the dominant international terrorist organization, main sponsor of large-scale terrorist attacks, propagator of extremist and terrorist ideology, and the object that many extremist terrorist organizations around the world are loyal to. The strike against the organization by the US and Russia, the two countries with strong military power and political influence, has been relatively effective. However, the US and Russia hold different views on the Syrian issue, so their measures to combat the IS have different foci. The US favors the Syrian opposition, while Russia helps the Syrian government to fight the Syrian opposition and the IS. Because of their different interests, the policies of the US and those of Russia in the Middle East also have witnessed some changes after the rise of IS, and resulted in a series of strategic games. As the two most important international powers in the world, the game between Russia and the US in Middle East has caught attention from all over the world. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the international game between the US and Russia on the fight against IS will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the complexity of the situation in the Middle East.
