L’Algérie, proche de l’Iran sur la question syrienne

La position de l’Algérie sur la question syrienne, sa proximité de l’Iran sur ce problème, sont analysées par Sinem Cengiz, dans le journal d’Ankara Szaman (le 9 septembre 2012. La question est observée du point de vue turc, avec l’avis d’experts turcs, mettant en évidence une réelle préoccupation de la Turquie de cette position algérienne.

L’analyse présente l’Algérie comme un acteur de plus en plus important dans la crise syrienne, et très préoccupé de contenir les effets du “printemps arabe”, donc résolument aux côtés du gouvernement Assad. Bien entendu, cette position de l’Algérie se dessinait clairement dès la crise libyenne, lors de la chute de Kadhafi, l’année dernière.

«Turkey is very much concerned with what Turkish officials have described as a “tacit agreement” between Algeria and Iran with regard to the 17-month-long Syrian crisis… […] A senior Turkish official, who spoke to Sunday’s Zaman on condition of anonymity, stated that since the beginning of the Arab revolution in the North African region, Algeria has been very concerned with the possible spillover effect of the uprising on its own country, as three of Algeria’s neighbors, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, have experienced uprisings that have resulted in the fall of the dictatorships in those countries. The same official added that Turkey is closely watching the increasing cooperation between Algeria and Iran, who is a close ally of the embattled Syrian President Bashar al- Assad regime, adding there is a “tacit agreement” between Algeria and Iran over Syria. Turkey and Iran have conflicting policies regarding Syria, a situation that has strained relations over the past several months. Turkey is one of the staunchest supporters of the opposition forces that are trying to topple Assad… […]

»Algeria is the new actor on the scene and is keen to play a partner role with Iran in its policy towards the Syrian crisis, agree experts. Iran and Algeria have adamantly opposed any foreign interference in Syria’s internal affairs, underlining the importance of resolving the problems through dialogue. “Algeria and Iran considers the Arab uprising as a threat to their own countries. Syria is an important laboratory for the countries which are concerned about the Arab Spring wave,” Arif Keskin, a prominent Iran analyst, told Sunday’s Zaman.

»Iran and Algeria took a similar stance at the meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in mid-August in Mecca, where the suspension of Syria from the OIC was approved by an absolute majority with objections only from Iran and Algeria. Another example of the Algerian stance in regards to Syria came in February when it abstained from voting on a United Nations draft resolution on the situation in Syria, which was adopted by a recorded vote of 137 in favor to 12 against, including Iran’s vote siding with the Assad regime. Iranian president has also underlined several times that Iran and Algeria have the capacity to create a new world order, adding Iran and Algeria could be an exemplar of brotherly ties in the world via the expansion and diversification of relations in all spheres.

»“Algeria is a door for Iran to pursue its Shia policies in the North Africa region. Since 10 years, Algeria is the only country in the North Africa region which eases the expansion of the Shia policies of Iran,” says Cahit Tuz, Middle East adviser in Parliament. “Algeria is Iran’s good partner and an anti-Israeli resistance front since the victory of the Islamic Revolution,” said Khamanei.

»“In order to get rid of the West’s isolation policy, Iran is in search of new partners in Africa. In this respect, Algeria is an important partner for Iran,” Bayram Sinkaya, an expert on Iranian politics and a lecturer in the department of international relations at Yıldırım Beyazıt University in Ankara, said in remarks to Sunday’s Zaman. The other point which brings Algeria and Iran to stand in the same line is their anti-imperialist stance. Moreover, Algerian leaders have publicly backed Iran’s ongoing nuclear program on numerous occasions and voiced Algeria’s support for Iran’s right to “peaceful nuclear technology”…»
