İRAN’IN IRAK DIŞ POLİTİKASININ İNSANDAN-İNSANA YÜZÜ KASIM SÜLEYMANİ

Abstract

Bu makalede İran dış politikasının önemli araçlarından biri olan insandan-insana ilişkilerde dünyada bilinen sembol ismi Kasım Süleymani (Süleymani) ve onun son dönemde Irak’da DEAŞ ile mücadelede daha da öne çıkaran faaliyetleri ele alınacaktır. Irak ile ilişkilerde kendi bireysel ilişkileri ve kişisel özellikleri yanında arkasındaki diplomatik destek Tahran’ın, Bağdat’a yönelik dış politikasında önemli araçlarından biri olmasını sağlamıştır. Bölgedeki faaliyetleri klasik diplomasiye dayanan devletten-devlete ilişkilerin önüne geçmiş ve bu ülkede İran Dış İşleri Bakanlığından daha etkin bir figür olduğu izlenimini oluşturmuştur. Süleymani’nin resmiyette İran diplomasisinde bir yer tutmayan Devrim Muhafızlarının dış operasyon birimi olarak kabul edilen Kudüs Gücüne komuta eden bir komutan olmasına rağmen Irak’ta, İran dış işleri bakanlığı ve diplomatlarından daha etkili bir figürdür. Çalışmada Süleymani’nin İran diplomasisindeki bu ağırlığı ve arkasındaki asıl güç açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır.
