Abstract
Bu makale, Türkiye ve Rusya’nın Suriye Krizi’nde rollerini stratejik boyutta incelemekte ve konuyla ilgili teorik tartışmalara ışık tutmaktadır. Zira her iki devletin de Astana, Soçi ve Ankara müzakerelerinde gösterdikleri çabalarla kalıcı barışın sağlanmasına yönelik sürece önemli etki yaptığı bilinmektedir. Bu ülkelerin inisiyatif alması, birçok sivilin hayatını kurtarmıştır. Bu da Suriye’nin Libya’ya dönüşmesini engellemiştir. Ayrıca Türkiye’nin uyguladığı açık kapı politikası da yeni insani dramlar yaşanmasını engellemiştir.

Abstract
This paper examines the roles of Turkey and Russia as strategic actors in Syrian crisis and draw a light into theoretical debates on the issue. The two states with their efforts in Astana, Sochi and Ankara talks have made significant contribution to the lasting peace in the country. The initiatives of the two countries have saved many civilian lives. This prevented Syria from turning into the next Libya. In addition, Turkey’s Open-Door Policy has prevented new humanitarian crisis.
