President Sisi, Jordanian King and Iraqi PM signal Ankara they won’t stand idle in face of interventions.

A tripartite summit held recently between Egypt, Jordan and Iraq was an initiative pushed forward

by Egypt to signal Turkey it will not stand idle while Ankara continues its expansion policies in the Mediterranean and the Arab world, outlet Al Monitor reported on Saturday.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Jordanian King Abdullah II and Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi all attended the one-day summit in Amman on August 25.

The summit officially concentrated on forming a security, diplomatic and economic bloc, according to Al Monitor, mentioning accelerated threats in the region, counter-terrorism and the need to push back “foreign interventions.”

But according to Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies expert Hassan Abu Taleb, the three Arab states have one common denominator: Turkey.

“Turkey is being condescending in the region by violating the principles of good neighborliness, out of its greed for natural resources — just like in Libya and the eastern Mediterranean — or its desire to impose its control — like in northern Syria and Iraq,” Abu Taleb stressed as quoted by Al Monitor.

“Through their alliance, the three countries want to address the Turkish scheme and foil it,” he stipulated.

Egypt and Jordan are willing to aid Iraq to thwart interventionist initiatives by Ankara on its soil, the expert said, while also helping it overcome its dependence on Iranian financial aid.

“Cairo and Amman constitute an important Arab component for Iraq in the coming stage,” Abu Taleb added.
