Özet

This study endeavors to scrutinize the repercussions of the Syrian Civil War on its neighboring countries, focusing particularly on pivotal developments spanning from 2012 to 2018. The findings reveal that Syria’s neighboring countries were exposed to comparable risks and threats, albeit with notable variations in their intensity and magnitude. All neighboring countries of Syria encountered deliberate or inadvertent violence stemming from Syrian territory. Armed non-state actors directed cross-border attacks or launched assaults within these nations. With the exception of Israel, all experienced substantial influxes of migration. The domestic societies of these countries, excluding Israel, became directly or indirectly entangled in the civil war, either through active participation in conflicts or by organizing demonstrations. Furthermore, all nations resorted to unilateral or multilateral force to counter threats originating from Syria. The primary distinctions among Syria’s neighbors during the civil war period revolved around the number of conflicting parties in border regions and the severity of violence among these warring factions. Notably, the Syrian government, with the assistance of Hezbollah, managed to establish control in the southern part of Syria. However, in the northern regions, complete control eluded the government, leading to protracted conflicts involving the Syrian government, the opposition, the YPG, Daesh, and supporters of these various civil war factions. Consequently, irrespective of the stance adopted by Syria’s neighbors towards the civil war, Turkey emerged as the nation most profoundly impacted by the spillover effects of the conflict.
