the 1st theory for the Syrian covert war was actually the Qatar gas field
it was actually Qatar that was the original major funder of the Salafi terrorists
The Qatar-Turkey pipeline was a proposal to build a natural gaspipeline from the Iranian–Qatari South Pars/North Dome Gas-Condensate field towards Turkey, where it could connect with the Nabucco pipeline to supply European customers as well as Turkey. One route to Turkey was via Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria, and another was through Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq. Syria's rationale for rejecting the Qatar proposal was said to be "to protect the interests of [its] Russian ally, which is Europe's top supplier of natural gas."
