oun and turkey turkey volunteered to be a mediator for pragmatic reasons believes turkish analyst simin ulgen the reasons is that turkey wants to end the conflict as soon as possible because it affects the interests of turkey, another reason is to gain international authority as a player who has implemented such initiatives at the global level. turkey 's desire to prevent russia from dominating the black sea region should be highlighted separately, the analyst explains . of the seta murat research center, one of the reasons lies in the historical geopolitical competition between turkey and russia, the change of the status quo in the black sea region to the benefit of russia is not a geopolitical benefit for turkey. therefore, turkey does not want to see any changes in this black sea region , which was actually created after the cold war in the black sea region. the bosphorus and dardanelles straits are important for turkey. it is through these routes that turkey transports weapons to its allies, for example, to libya or syria to the rebels opposing the assad regime, mostafa dzhemilev explains
