Turkey and Saudi Arabia strengthen alliance against Russia | Russia Beyond the Headlines

Turkey and Saudi Arabia strengthen alliance against Russia | Russia Beyond the Headlines:

"Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan began on Dec. 29 a two-day visit to Saudi Arabia, the country that has recently announced a coalition to fight Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria.

The alliance formed by Riyadh runs counter to Russian interests, as it aims to overthrow Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, something that Erdogan fully agrees with.

But Ankara and Riyadh are united not only by the desire to change the government in Syria; they could have a common enemy in Russia."
