Any agreement between Syrian gov’t, Kurds will be ‘historic turning point’
2018-06-18
[ALMASDARNEWS] Earlier this week, a high ranking Syrian Kurdish leader stated that he hopes Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators...
is serious about negotiating with the Kurdish-led forces in order to reach an agreement between the two parties.

Speaking to the Rooters News Agency, Aldar Xelil of the Co-President of the Executive Body of the Movement for a Democratic Society stated that any agreement with Damascus would be a "historic turning point" for the two sides.

Xelil continued that his political party is ready for negotiations without any preconditions.

"We don’t know the extent of their seriousness or preparation for this, but we hope these statements reflect serious intentions," Xelil told Rooters in a telephone.

Recently, Damascus sent a delegation to the northeastern city of al-Qamishli; this group reportedly met with several officials from the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC).

During the meeting, the SDC expressed interest in sending a delegation to Damascus for the first time in years.

While the Syrian government and Kurdish political parties attempt to reconcile, they have managed to joint govern some areas in the northern part of the country, along with sharing the imperative Hasakah-Aleppo Highway.

#3  Makes sense. Allows Assad to militarily concentrate on the southern and western/coastal part of his country where the most serious problems are, and allows him to wash his hands of defending against from the genocidal Turks and their wannabee Sultan Erdogan in the northern parts, where the Kurds and not much else are.


Erdogan is a menace that must be stopped.

#2  That would raise the curtain on the Last Act: will everyone stand by while Erdogan and Turkey annex northern Syria? Will everyone look the other way when the Afrin ethnic cleansing is repeated in the remaining area north of the Euphrates? Is the UN relevant, at all, any more?
