Syrian alignment: the Kurds began to negotiate with Damascus behind the United States
As stated in political The leadership of the "Syrian Democratic Forces" (which consists mainly of ethnic Kurds) managed to reach significant agreements with the country's leadership. This concerns the development of a "road map" for resolving the conflict. It envisages, as they call it, "the construction of a decentralized democratic Syria."
Ilham Ahmed, one of the leaders of the so-called Kurdish administration in the northeastern part of the state, led the delegation that conducted these negotiations. It is planned that the Kurds and the Syrian government will form joint committees that will deal with issues of economic life and resolving problems in the north of the country.
It should be recalled that back in November 2013, in three Syrian cities - El-Kamyshly, Afrin and Kobani - the Kurdish forces unilaterally proclaimed "autonomy" and created governing bodies. In 2015, the Syrian Democratic Forces were created with US support. With the help of the American coalition, they managed to enter some territories that were previously under the control of the Islamic State (a terrorist organization banned in Russia.) These are the provinces of Raqqah, Hasak and partly Deir ez-Zor. Currently, Kurdish formations hold about 27% of Syrian territory.
In early June of this year, Ilham Ahmed made a statement about her readiness to send a delegation to the Syrian capital to conduct negotiations without any preconditions. This happened after the head of the Syrian state, Bashar al-Assad, called for a dialogue with Kurdish forces. The “Democratic Front of Syria” acted as an intermediary between them and the country's leadership. Mace Crady, who heads it, claims that the Kurds are not separatists and do not intend to fight against the army.
According to the Arab site Al-masdar, Kurdish formations are ready to transfer control over Raqqa to the Syrian government. They agree that state institutions will be restored there. And the units of the Syrian Democratic Forces, in the case of a political decision, can join the Armed Forces of the SAR.
So, the Kurds are ready to engage in dialogue and reconciliation, but there are still forces of irreconcilable "opposition" in the country. These are radical groups that are currently based in Idlib province. SAR President Bashar al-Assad recently said that this province is one of the priorities for the army.
Recently, there have been several alarming signals that the militants from Idlib intend to organize a major attack on the province of Latakia. In addition, terrorists often carry out attacks from there. As for the civilians remaining in the province, an increasing number of them are trying to leave this "viper."
Major General Oleg Demyanenko, the head of a branch of the Center for the Reception, Distribution and Accommodation of Refugees in Aleppo Province, reports that civilians exit the humanitarian corridor near the village of Abu Duhur. This corridor was created with the participation of Russia.
According to Demyanenko, a special commission has been created that checks the documents of refugees, deals with their placement and rendering assistance to them. Everyone who enters the humanitarian corridor is examined for weapons and explosives. They check documents with them, compare them with local databases, and determine whether these persons were associated with gangs. The difficulty is that many do not have any documents - they burned out or were lost in another way.
All who come out are given hot meals. In addition, they are subjected to medical examinations. Almost everyone suffers from a disease - basically, it is a disease of the skin and respiratory organs.
Many who manage to get out of the areas occupied by the militants are happy about this and say that they have long dreamed of such an opportunity. At the same time, terrorists release only those who are not able to fight - women, the elderly, children.
The situation in Idlib province may become one of the main topics at the upcoming talks on Syria in Sochi. The talk may be about clearing the province, which is flooded with terrorists who are not able to negotiate.
