Συρία: Ανεβαίνει το θερμόμετρο της έντασης μεταξύ κυβέρνησης και Κούρδων

Performing that gradually allow it to exercise more and more control over its internal issues, it is created by the cooperation of his government, which brings back to the surface of the Syrian issue, which have been involved in battles with government troops in the North in recent weeks.

Battle with government forces and time the Kurds give

The stake for the Kurds is that they will be able to join the government forces, but also that they will be integrated into the functions of the Syrian state under the terms of the agreement that was expired a few months ago.

The ultimatum they have received from Turkey and the US to complete the process expires on August 21. However, the Turkish government, in the wake of the conflicts that have erupted in recent days near Aleppo, Manbetz and other cities close to the boundaries of self -governing Kurdish areas with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which leads the Kurdish element, is constantly raising its statements.

According to a Turkish defense ministry official in statements to reporters in Ankara: “It has not been distracted that the voice of the SDF terrorist organization has become stronger, enhanced by conflicts in the south of Syria (he means the conflicts between Drounas and the conflict between Drounas). The attacks by the SDF terrorist organization on the outskirts of Manbitz and Aleppo against the Syrian government in recent days have harmed the political unity and territorial integrity of Syria. “

Ankara is moving with the aim of the Kurds

But Turkish pressure on the issue is not only expressed by statements, but as announced by Damascus, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan visited the main aim of discussing the Kurdish. According to reports on Fidan discussions with the government of Ahmad al -Saraa, they included “the evaluation of Turkey’s concerns about its national security resulting from northeastern Syria, as well as the cooperation between the two countries in the fight against terrorist organizations, in a time of terrorist organizations.”

Among other things, discussions between the two sides focused on the evaluation of bilateral relations, the tensions between Syria and Israel (more specifically, as announced before the meeting “Israel’s actions and rhetoric, which are a threat to Syria and the stability of the region”), and the country’s rebuilding issues.

With the support of the US, Gulf countries are investing in Syria…

All of the above comes as the country with the support of the US, as well as Turkey, are closed agreements to rebuild dozens of billions of dollars mainly with Arab countries and Gulf monarchies (days ago investments were announced … Metro in Damascus worth $ 2 billion billions of dollars with Qatar’s UCC Holdings).

Specifically on Wednesday, the Syrian government signed various memoranda of agreement with international companies to create 12 strategic projects totaling $ 14 billion, at an official ceremony held at the People’s Palace in the capital, Damascus, in the presence of Syrian President Ahm. The lion’s share was taken by companies from Qatar, Turkey and the US.

This policy of creating “committed” that further enhance Ankara’s links with the new Damascus government has begun to acquire “depth” as beyond rebuilding and security, Turkey also contributes to other areas, such as energy.

… While Turkey brings Azeri gas with Qatar

Last week, it was announced that Turkey’s supply of Aleppo began with natural gas that brings from Azerbtaijan through pipelines. Speaking to the relevant ceremony attended by Syrian Energy Minister, Azerbaijan’s finance minister and the head of the Qatar Development Fund, Turkish Energy Minister Alpslan Bayraktar said the initiative would help.

“In the initial phase, up to two billion cubic meters of gas per year could be exported to Syria,” Bayraktar told the Ceremony in the southern province of Kilis, near the border with Syria.

Syrian counterweight to the gauze for the new Trump smoothness

From the above, but also in conjunction with the fact that the US proves to make many and important moves in the Middle East, it turns out that the Syrian stabilization effort plays a key role in the overall return of the region to a new smoothness.

Given the “knockout” on Iran’s influence in the region (after the Israeli campaign against the axis of resistance and Tehran itself), the only “thorn” remains the situation in Gaza and the West Bank.

The counterweight to this is the moves to continuously improve the situation in Syria, which is transformed from one into a field of competition between Turkey and Israel, but on the other hand acts as a common ground to pursue politics and promoting the interests of the monarchies of the Gulf, Turkey and the US.

The above are fully expressed not only on a practical level (see reconstruction agreements), but also at the level of statements.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that it is important for the countries of the Middle East to join Abraham agreements, which aim to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel, saying this will ensure peace in the region. “Now that the nuclear arsenal ‘created’ by Iran has been completely eliminated, it is very important for me all countries of the Middle East to join Abraham agreements,” Trump wrote in a social media post.

Regardless of whether this suspension Trump is true to the issue of Iran’s nuclear (the Iranian side never seems to have a nuclear arsenal, but the American blows did not fully destroy the capabilities of Tehran for the enrichment of the US), Area for Abraham’s agreements to work. In addition, Trump has called on Ahmad al -Saraa in the past to join Abraham’s agreements, which seem to be playing a means of sealing new data in the Middle East.

It is indicative that in the calculation of the Americans for the agreements, even Azerbaijan (a close ally of Turkey is apparently from the Caucasus to Syria) but also other Central Asia countries with which the Trump government – according to reports – is actively discussing this.
