Moment prone to an understanding for the Middle East
22 January 2016 | In the Media
“Today, there may be a geostrategic understanding between the United States, Russia and its allies,” said Senén Florensa, executive president of the IEMed, according to whom a time prone to possible agreements between the opposing parties is approaching, in large part because of the limits being reached in the conflict in Syria and the refugee crisis, as well as because of the lifting of international sanctions on Iran.
In an interview this morning on Catalunya Ràdio together with the sociologist Gema Martín Muñoz and the journalist Tomás Alcoverro, Florensa has shelled out some of the keys to the Syrian conflict. Among them, “Turkey’s scandalous management of its borders and refugees” and the fact that the war is the result of a conflict between international powers and actors, such as Turkey, with interests in the region.
All in all, Florensa has defended UN-sponsored talks since the end of January as “the only hope” of stopping the conflict.
