The Turkish Government under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has perceived the Hezbollah, a Shi’a militant group backed by Iran with a negative perception, based on historical trauma in Lebanon and the threat to Turkish legacies in Lebanon. Thus Turkey has sought to maintain closer tie with Lebanon, to dismantle Iranian influence inside Lebanon. The influx of Hezbollah fighters coming to Syria fighting against Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army[2] is also the reason why Turkey tries to establish stronger ties with Lebanon in order to weaken Iran's role in Lebanon.
