There is a great competition and hostility between England and France through the centuries. Hundred Years’ War had continued 116 years between of 1337-1453. After 1750, Seven Years’ War in North America was accepted as the first world war. United Kingdom defeated France in those wars.
The major war between England and France also is continuing in the last century in the Greater Middle East. France occupied Algeria in 1830, Tunisia in 1881 and Morocco in 1907 and succeeded in colonizing the politically and economically in these areas. France also invaded Egypt in 1898, but abandoned its position to the United Kingdom in 1882.
The greatest betrayal of England to France was on sharing of the Ottoman territories in the Middle East. France had occupied the Eastern Mediterranean, the region from Adana to Diyarbakir, Mosul, the coast of Syria and Lebanon according to Sykes – Picot Agreement with Great Britain.
However, France was completely eliminated by the United Kingdom at the end of First World War.
The Cold War between England and France in the process of the European Union is irrelevant.
While the United Kingdom was taking care of the Jews with the Balfour Declaration, France supported the Armenians living in Syria and Lebanon. These close relationships continue today. When France stand out in the construction of new Middle East especially in Libya and Syria, Britain took action. The United Kingdom strengthened relations with the government of Turkey and Islamist organizations in the Middle East. It makes peace among Hamas and Jordan to remove Hamas from Syria. Turkey and France were encountered by Britain by using Sarkozy and the Jews who move to penalize the denial of Armenian claims of genocide. The military cooperation between Turkey and France is blocked by the United Kingdom which wants to sign new military cooperation with Turkey. It is preparing for the invasion of Syria with Turkey without France.
In brief, the United Kingdom is trying to liquidate France from the New Middle East as heretofore. New colonies are shared after Arab revolts. However, the Policy of Zero Problems with Neighbors of Turkey goes toward a Policy of Zero Friendship.

Along with the month of Muharram, we can say that provocation would increase between Sunni and Shiite Muslims in the Middle East. A new defense strategy was developed by the West after the 1979 Iranian Islamic Revolution. Just over 1 year, we had seen was a battle lasting more than 8 years between Iraq and Iran. A Sunni Shiite conflict doesn’t happen in Iraq. Iran as well as increased activity in the Gulf countries and Iraq.
After September 11, the military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan ended with failure in the long run.
Despite provocations between Sunnis and Shiites in many years did not occur a deep separation of sect in Iraq. Sunni and Shiite groups going to cooperate against the Kurds and the liberals who collaborate with the West.
The struggle using the Tajiks and other ethnic groups against the Taliban in Afghanistan did not reach the purpose of still. While westerners are looking this conflict at in terms of religious and ethnic groups but many groups in Afghanistan think the interests of the Christian in the basis of the conflict. Indeed, Pakistan which lives reflection of the conflict has the highest level of Western hostility. Many of the groups who oppose the Taliban, is helping the Taliban against the Western powers when it comes the point of prefer. Pakistan always sided with the Taliban against the West and will continue to this.

The two-faced policy of the United States and Britain which are Architects of this strategy emerges in the inner riots called Arab Spring. The support given to the Sunni Islamist groups in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, was not given the Shiite opposition in Bahrain and Yemen. On the contrary, the forces of Saudi Arabian which is the financial supporter bloodily suppressed these rebellions.

The same game also is played Syria, stubbornly. The current Syria government which is pro-Russian belongs to minority Shiite Nusayri which accounts for 12% of the population. More than 60% of Syria consists from the Sunni groups. The only way to change management in Syria: a civil war between Sunnis and Shiites.
The separation of ethnic and religious policies carried out in Turkey in the last ten years serves to the same purpose: to increase feelings of resentment and hatred between ethnic and religious groups and to ensure a cultural divide before the physical division in next.
Anyone can predict that an air offensive against Iran by the United States and its allies would lead to a big fire in the coming years.

We also have to remind some states forgotten in this solicitation. Once upon a time, Germany which is the largest ally of Iran always remains its secret relationship with the Shiite groups in the region. It still has not abandoned its dreams of Iran and Mesopotamia which comes from the First World War. Also France has the nostalgic dreams about Syria and Lebanon.
Between these goals and dreams, The New Ottoman Strategy of Turkey will not go further than an adventure. The Pan-Islamist and Pan-Turkic policies which are supported by Germany against Britain for many years disintegrated the last Ottoman empire and its management who moving away from realism. Now, the Union policy of Sunni Islam which is supported by the U.S. and Britain is going to pervert Turkey to disaster. The ideals of equality, human rights and real democracy will be sacrificed to imperialist interests.

However, let us know that every desires of the West will not happen, as ever in the history. Of course, the repressive regimes in Iran and Syria will collapse one day. However, without becoming continuous internal conflicts for many years and losing life of hundred thousand people, Muslims…

We know the Green Line which is founded by the leadership of the United States after the 1950s. There were many reasons of the Islamic Green Line that is thought based on religion as a shield against communism. The most important one of them was to keep away the Warsaw Pact from the oil regions. However more important one was the idea of re-making economic and military colonial command of the US-led the Middle East countries which liberated from European colonialism and occupation.
After Soviet disintegrated, the U.S. had the dream of World Domination alone also taking Britain and Israel. However, this dream did not last. After September 11, The U.S. has developed new strategies because of the economic and political losses. United States very well understood that not staying in these areas without local allies. Stepped in and a new project: The Great Middle East Project.
After that, It will be more accurate and understandable to say Light Green Line for The Great Middle East Project. The United States and Western colonial countries rapidly tumble into a deep economic crisis because of counteracting of weapons and industrial production of east countries in comparison with West countries. To halt this decline, new markets are needed quickly. And its address is only the Great Middle East where are Petro-dollars.
The most basic elements of the Light Green Line which aimed at controlling Islamic geography stretching from Morocco to Afghanistan:
1. To become the moderate and open societies to the West the Islamic societies tending radicalization. To support the moderate Islamist movements in the Middle East.
2. Interfering with political, military and psychological to the radical groups by counting an open threat for Islamic thought and the International Community (western interests). For this reason, to create the Joint Response Force with strategic Muslim allies.
3. To strengthen the Sunni political movements against Shiite political Islamist movements for consolidating the rule of the Gulf. To gain weapon market where the conflict environment. To prepare political, military and psychologically infrastructure of a big military intervention against Iran before 2015.
4. To give up on the pro-Israel policies for winning the Islamic societies in the Middle East and to help the establishment a Palestinian state in Gaza limited.
5. To carry out jointly the Light Green Line project with Turkey this is the most powerful Muslim country.
May add others to these targets of the United States and this Pentagon project.

Light Green Line Project that began from the 2000s carried out by political, military and psychological operations at great speed. However, there are major problems arising in practice. We can list these problems the following way:
1. England and France are looking different this project and Germany now can just observe carefully. Europeans that did not accept the leadership of Turkiye are falling upside down to the United States and are acting independently. Therefore, the power of NATO which is one of the most important foundations of this project is not available effectively.
2. The current Israeli government based conservative Jewish foundation which is extremely uncomfortable for supporting the U.S. to Islamist organizations. The dissidence continues between the U.S. and Israel which is approved its Zionist policies by Israel’s current population and the political majority.
3. The United States live in complete indecision in the process of reconstruction in countries such as Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. If the U.S. supports Islamist movements in these countries, it will lose the secular and pro-Western groups; But if it supports secular and pro-Western groups, it will be deprived the help of Islamist movements.
4. To show Turkiye as leader and example on Light Green Line will radicalize the two political movements in the Arab countries. Arab nationalism that is against the Turks between secular groups and pro-Sharia movements between Islamic groups will inevitably strengthen.
5. The ongoing economic crisis in the U.S. makes it hard to win the next election for Democrats. In fact, the Light Green Line Project’s owner is Conservatives. Whoever wins the elections, this project will continue for the survival of the United States. But some changes may be experienced in the players and the rules of the project.
The U.S. and the West are trying to blanch the color of Green Line project under the leadership of Turkiye. However, will not succeed in that. There is a false belief that if Islamist movements having power and capital, they will to become liberal. The upper structure can be partly become liberal and machiavellian philosophy but, their political Islamic ideas will not change easily. On the contrary, the successes which gained by the external supports will encourage them more and more and will ask uncompromising, brutal, and the radical policies.
In short, conflicts between secularists and religious people a long standing at Turkiye will spread the entire Islamic world. If Democracy is not the rationalism and the enlightenment, but is a culture of conflict, so to all of us get better Light Green Line Project of the United States.
