In her address at the recent Cyprus Mail symposium The Syrian Crisis and its Consequences on our Region titled ‘The Policy of Donald Trump Towards Syria and the Middle East, Ghawji, who was once married to a Syrian member of the Muslim Brotherhood, she said, believes the US president has turned Washington’s foreign policy on its head.

“The US it is a very young country. It’s kind of a teenager compared with Russia or France. It has all the faults of a teenager… arrogant. They think they know everything but don’t know which direction to go.”

America, she added had been a warmonger all over the world but was now at a crossroads.

“Donald Trump is a man of peace. He is anti-war. If you attack, sure he will answer but if you don’t attack he is a man of compromise. He is a man who listens to everyone and makes up his mind afterwards.”

Ghawji believes Trump will be re-elected in 2020 and that over the subsequent four years, hoped that Russia and the US would be able to get together to bring peace.

“I hope that in those four years we can get together and speak peace, we will be able to accomplish something, that Russia and America will get together to secure peace in the Middle East.

“Sorry to say, but Russia has a hand in Syria and it’s not going to let it go,” she added. “Syria will get out of this mess. They want to live in peace. Only if strong powers like Russia and the US get together at the table, it will be the only way we will be able to manage to have peace.”

Referring to Turkey, Ghawji said its leader Tayyip Erdogan “is a very strong man with a vision for Turkey that is a little bit too much”. But Donald Trump was tough on him. “Erdogan understood the lesson but it’s not enough. It would be very good if we can put a little more pressure on Turkey,” she added.

Referring to Cyprus, she added: “You have a problem. We have to put Turkey in its place. Donald Trump, even if he was aware of all the problems around the world, I don’t think, and of course I can’t be sure, that he is aware of exactly what’s going on in Cyprus.”[/penci_text_block][/penci_column][/penci_container][/vc_column][/vc_row]
