Hasan Onar, professor of political science and international relations at Bashkent University in Ankara, stresses that the West has never asked for effective and honest negotiations on Iran’s nuclear issue regarding the need to concentrate in a multipolar world. I did.
The issue of effective negotiation is considered an unread and unwritten principle for the Western countries and the United States. This is because despite negotiations and international agreements with various countries, the West has witnessed it many times despite the West being unable to withstand its commitment.
With Donald Trump’s return to the White House, speculation about the possibility of negotiations for Tehran-Washington has intensified, and previously held negotiations were known as “a joint comprehensive plan of action, aka JCPOA.” However, Donald Trump was unilaterally connected, unilaterally, unilaterally. Despite his constructive cooperation with Iran, he withdrew from there during his first term as president of the United States, It imposed the most severe and harsh anti-Iran sanctions within the framework of “maximum pressure” on Tehran.
With the aim of examining the actions of Western countries, particularly the US actions regarding negotiations with other countries, Mehr news agency correspondents conducted an interview with Hasanünal, a faculty member at Bashkent University in Ankara, as follows: did.
Below are the interview questions and answers:
Q: Resolving international challenges through negotiation and diplomacy is certainly the right and logical step if the other party has to be honest with the negotiations. The experience of negotiations with the West in some countries has resulted in serious losses. The negotiations in Libya during the Muammar Gaddafi era are an example of this issue. What is the analysis of negotiations in the West, especially with the new US president?
A: In answer to your question, I should say that Western countries, particularly the United States, were not honest with their negotiations with the Middle Eastern countries that they identified as the “axis of evil.” The Western world has adopted the fact that it is not honest even in Turkey, and has repeatedly witnessed the erosion of the Western process of solving challenges. For this reason, Turkey is more sensitive in negotiations with the West. I don’t think the US and its allies will negotiate effectively and honestly on Iran’s issues. Countries that the US identifies them as “the axis of evil” have not been able to escape political and economic pressure through negotiations. Iraq, Syria and Libya are examples of these countries.
Q: Given Iran negotiated with the West with the US, the lack of attention to European and US negotiation principles effectively shows that the West is clearly a supporter of the negotiations But in reality, it (West) supports the US maximum pressure policy imposed on the Iranian people. What is your rating in this regard?
A: The Western world, particularly the United States, has always acted rigged in negotiations with Iran. This type of behavior may continue in the future. I’ve seen how Syrian jihadist groups have armed for 14 years and imposed the heaviest sanctions on Damascus, so I’m not surprised by the cruel sanctions that the US has imposed on Iranian people. I am confident that the United States will continue to sanction against Iranian people. Given the new US government approach and the revolutionary nature of the Islamic Republic, we hope that the West will withdraw its policy against Tehran as factors that support Israel continue to continue during incumbent President Donald Trump That’s wrong. Impact on US policy.
Q: What is the best solution to counter political pressure from the US and West on Iran and other countries?
A: In my opinion, regional cooperation is the best solution. However, focusing on a multipolar world could be the highest political leverage for the West. Meanwhile, cooperation between Iran and Türkiye is effective. Unfortunately, there are groups in Türkiye that do not actively look to cooperate with Iran. If these groups are affecting Turkey’s policy decisions, it could lead to Western Ankara panelling on the issue of Tehran. I hope this never happens.
