SUSPICION... THE OTTOMAN... PERSIAN RELATIONSHIP!
So, Mohsen Rezaie makes a public statement that Turkey has not
fulfilled some of the "agreements" for the upcoming Iranian nuclear
program talks?
I have to wonder what those " agreements" might
be, but more importantly, I really have to question if Iran is not simply doing what they
always do... attempt to change the rules at the last minute?
Or, is it really an issue of trust between the Iranians and
the Turks?
If not trust, then how about the classic Middle Eastern
issue of one-upmanship?
In these difficult times for Iran ,
perhaps giving Turkey
too much credit is simply not a wise thing to do!
The only things that rises before the Sun in the Middle East are the egos!!
Could it be that Iran simply doesn't want the
Ottomans, who seem to have everything going their war right now, to take all
the credit for the next round of worthless talks?
See... Turkey
doesn't really care if any progress is made with these talks.
They get the credit for hosting the event and that keeps Turkey on the FrontPage!
Remember, it was Turkey 's
idea to host the talks... not Iran 's!!
We also can't rule out Rezaie's ego!!!
He has been a player in Iran for a long time and it's well
known he is no friend of Ahmadinejad.
The fact that other influential members of Iran 's government made well timed
comments leads me to believe the ego battle is more at the Nation State level.
So, whatever is going on here is worthy of paying attention
to.
The Ottoman... Erdogan is not short on ego himself and I
would be some answer to these comments will be coming soon.
The facts seem to be clear if you keep the big picture
simple....
The Ottomans and the Persians continue to grind on each
other and that will only create more heat!!
