Aden, Newsymen, Bassem Ali:
Turkish positions recently announced by an adviser to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in successive press interviews, repeating the same content and message, where the positions reveal a Turkish desire to leave the alliance to Yemen and allow the actors on the ground to decide the fate of the country.
Turkish Chancellor Yasin Akati identified a number of forces that he said would engage in a dialogue that would end the war and crisis once the Arab coalition accepted the departure of Yemen, and these forces are: Reform, Congress, Zuyd and the Houthis, and here he added Al-Zayud as a force independent of all.
The Turkish position expressed by the addresses and messages of Erdogan's advisor is no different from that of the Muslim Brotherhood", the "Reform Party" in Yemen, especially in the speech from the UAE that made Erdogan's adviser speak as if he were a copy of a Yemeni Brotherhood activist in Turkey.
What turkey wants, what the Muslim Brotherhood wants in Yemen, and where does their control map end today. Is the war against the Houthis over for them, even temporarily? The talk of accepting one side and sharing a common authority is out of the question, but is there a tendency to share geography and freeze the war between the two parties?
The Muslim Brotherhood now controls Shabwa and some marib and parts of Taiz, but the most important is their presence in the areas of oil wealth and the vast area connecting Shabwa and Marib and areas of Abyan province, which is temporarily sufficient space for the Brotherhood to arrange their papers, and their military presence in Hadramaut and Al-Mahra gives them a future opportunity to extend to the borders of Oman.
The war against the Houthis is no longer an obsession for the Brotherhood and their forces, but rather the retention of enough oil wealth to provide them with survival and expansion in the future.
The Turkish-Muslim-oriented approach in Libya is repeated in Yemen. Maintaining control points and being at sea ports is better than losing the existing and not being able to control all. The theory of possible jurisprudence and Brotherhood reality stands out strongly even in war, politics and conspiracies.
Turkey can play a role in enabling the Brotherhood's control of this oil-and-gas-rich geography through its relationship and overlapping files with the influential Decision-Making Tehran in The Houthi-ruled Sana'a and enabling the Brotherhood to begin with a total freeze of Houthi attacks on the Brotherhood's control areas of Taiz, Marib, the White Axis, the entire northeast axis and the Taiz front.
The Brotherhood's discourse from Yidoumi to the youngest member of the reform is clear and targeted as well. The Riyadh agreement is not until it gives Ali Mohsen's forces and Brotherhood cells influence and freedom of movement in Aden, as well as allowing all remnants of the former regime fleeing in Marib and abroad to return to the south and Aden in particular, which cannot be accepted by the NTC.
If the Brotherhood has participated in the government that came under the Riyadh agreement in response to a tactic to escape the kingdom's pressure, all their moves reveal that they have a project and a plan to work on, and the Brotherhood state in the east of the country is far from this plan.
Saudi Arabia's move to deal with Yemen also gives Tehran and Ankara a great opportunity to share a strategic leverage through their tools in Yemen, a share of the Houthis' control of the north and west and the Brotherhood's control over the eastern part, while the UAE's allies in the west coast and Aden remain the only secure region of Turkey and Iran's ambitions.
