Özet:

At the end of the first decade of the 21st century, one of the most important events of our time started in the Middle East, which was seen as the “winds of change” and was named as Arab Spring. This article develops a twofold approach to analyze the Russian involvement in the Syrian crisis. On one hand article analyzes the direct effects of Russia on the Syrian Arab Spring, while on the other it focuses Russian objection to unipolar world system and its attempts to impose itself as an important player among the other international actors of the multi-polar world system through the Syrian crisis. In this context, the analyses, news, comments and thoughts appeared in media on Arab Spring and thier reflection on Syria has been synthesized. The concluding argument of the article is that the delay in resolving the crisis in Syria could be linked to the role of the historical behavior of Russian diplomacy.
