Interesting perspective. As someone who works for an oil and gas company with interests in that part of the world, and as someone with more than a passing awareness of how the gas trading world operates - especially around the eastern med, I have not seen anything to support this view. Have you got any evidence to support this? Not only that, but I am not aware of any gas discoveries offshore Syria. Again, something I am paid to be aware of.
There are minor onshore reserves around that ares, but gas is only a tiny part of the energy equation in that part of the world. Still - if you've actually got something to support your theory I'd be very interested to see it.
