Russia campaign forced West to accept Syria truce: Analyst
[Iran Press TV] The recently announced Syria truce deal was achieved in the light of Russia's "successful" air campaign in the country which brought the West to the negotiation table, says an American political analyst.After days of negotiation, diplomats from a group of countries in Munich, including the US, Russia, ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and Iran, agreed on Friday to seek a temporary "cessation of hostilities" in Syria within a week. The International Syria Support Group (ISSG) also agreed to "accelerate and expand" deliveries of humanitarian aid to various besieged Syrian towns. "We are now sitting on pins and needles after the Munich meeting," Jim W. Dean told Press TV on Sunday. "We have not really a ceasefire but something called a cessation of hostilities which is kind of preliminary to a ceasefire." According to the Veterans Today columnist, this is good news for civilians who have been under terrorists' siege in several Syrian towns. However, facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... Dean noted that the main reason behind the deal is Russia's military campaign in Syria, conducted upon a request by Damascus since September last year. Posted by: Fred 2016-02-15 |
