With the US blessing, a Joint Agreement has been signed between Mazloum Abdi & Ahmed al-Sharaa in Damascus  (Meeting held on Monday, March 10, 2025):

Guaranteeing Equal Rights – All Syrians shall have the right to representation, participation in the political process, and inclusion in state institutions based on merit, irrespective of their religious or ethnic background.

Recognition of the Kurdish Community – The Kurdish community is acknowledged as an integral part of the Syrian state, with full citizenship and constitutional rights guaranteed.
Comprehensive Ceasefire – A nationwide ceasefire shall be implemented across all Syrian territories to end hostilities and pave the way for stability.
Integration of Civil and Military Institutions – All civil and military structures in northeastern Syria, including border crossings, airports, and oil and gas fields, shall be integrated under the administration of the Syrian state.
Safe Return of Displaced Syrians – All displaced Syrians shall be ensured a safe and dignified return to their towns and villages, with state-guaranteed protection.
Defense and Security Coordination – The Syrian state shall receive full support in its efforts to combat Assad’s militias and all threats endangering the security and unity of the country.
Rejection of Division and Hate Speech – All forms of sectarianism, ethnic division, and incitement to violence or hatred shall be rejected to preserve the cohesion of Syrian society.
Implementation Timeline – Executive committees shall oversee the implementation of these agreements, ensuring progress no later than the end of 2025.
This agreement represents a significant step toward national reconciliation, fostering stability, inclusivity, and the restoration of Syria’s sovereignty.

DJ, PKK leader https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdullah_%C3%96calan or https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdullah_%C3%96calan told PKK fighters to cease fire...A Turkish-Kurdish agreement may be on its way...

Russia did try to get the Kurds into the Syrian-Assad and Iraqi army...Russia still has diplomacy going on in Syria. 

So...is the Kurdish move a "Turkish success", a US success a Russian one or a Syrian one ?  The Syrian IS "regime" may take over SDF held areas in Eastern Syria-will US troops leave ? Will Turkish influence grow ? 

DJ-Turkish-Iranian relations are a major factor in West Asia. Iran and Russia are "strategic partners"...does Erdogan/Türkiye "want more from Russia" ? 

YES-the "moderate western backed murderers" now in power in Syria were seen as a western created proxy...
YES-Russia, Iran did NOT stop these "moderate terrorists" taking over Syria december 2024...
YES-Türkiye may be now the main dominating factor in Syria...Erdogan "playing" all US, EU, Russia, Iran, Arab world...

USrael did "work/support" those "western backed head choppers"-is trying to go for a "greater USrael" including parts of SW Syria (Lebanon, Palestine). Both netanyahu (october 21-1949 Tel Aviv) and Erdogan (february 26-1954 Istanbul) are "old".

Like trump and Putin they may be in the last years of power...So what kind of place in history do they want ?

	DJ; I am 99% certain netanyahu wants to attack Iran... I am 99% certain Russia will stop any attack on Iran I am also quite certain that the US/NATO has not found a way to get around Russian/Iran (etc) air-defense... https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/510735/Iran-Russia-and-China-to-conduct-major-naval-drill-in-Indian or https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/510735/Iran-Russia-and-China-to-conduct-major-naval-drill-in-Indian ; The drill, named Security Belt-2025, will take place in early and mid-March near Iran’s southeastern Chabahar Port, involving various branches of the three nations' naval forces. The Chinese Defense Ministry announced the exercise on Sunday via its official Weibo account, detailing that the drill will include multiple training operations such as maritime target strikes, VBSS (visit, board, search, and seizure), damage control, and joint search and rescue missions. According to the ministry, the primary goal of Security Belt-2025 is to enhance military trust and strengthen practical cooperation between the participating forces. China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy is set to deploy a destroyer and a replenishment ship for the exercise. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chabahar_Port or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chabahar_Port ;Chabahar Port (Persian: بندر چابهار) is a seaport located in Chabahar in southeastern Iran, on the Gulf of Oman. It serves as Iran's only oceanic port, and consists of two separate ports named Shahid Kalantari and Shahid Beheshti, each of which has five berths.^[2] It is only about 170 kilometres west of the Pakistani port of Gwadar. - Relationship with CPEC [edit] Iran has stated that Chabahar is not a rival to Pakistan's Gwadar and invited Pakistan to join in its development. Pakistani analysts have endorsed the view, stating that Gwadar has an advantage by being a deep sea port and the expansion of Chabahar would in fact expand trade through Gwadar. Larger vessels that cannot dock at Chabahar could dock at Gwadar and the cargo transshipped to Chabahar.^[96] Pakistan's foreign policy advisor Sartaj Aziz has signalled that Pakistan may link the Gwadar port to Chabahar.^[97] DJ, Iran is a major "hub"; TIP-Türkiye-Iran-Pakistan landbridge between China, India and Europe/Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_North%E2%80%93South_Transport_Corridor or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_North%E2%80%93South_Transport_Corridor ;The International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC) is a 7,200-km (4500 mile) long^[1] multi-mode network of ship, rail, and road route for moving freight between India, Iran, Azerbaijan, Russia, Central Asia and Europe. The route primarily involves moving freight from India, Iran, Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation via ship, rail and road.^[2] The objective of the corridor is to increase trade connectivity between major cities such as Mumbai, Moscow, Tehran, Baku, Bandar Abbas, Astrakhan, Bandar Anzali, etc.^[3] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Saudi_Arabia_relations or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Saudi_Arabia_relations ;However, in March 2023, after discussions brokered by China, Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed to reestablish relations. As of October 2024, Saudi Arabia and Iran have made efforts to improve their relations. DJ; A western attack on Iran is an open declaration of war-by the west-on ALL of BRICS. An "USrael" attack would be seen as a US attack...

	DJ, The basic conflict is a power struggle between a 10% of the global population "west" and "90% rest" of the world... In my definition "the west"is North America/Western Europe...Japan, South Korea...even Australia may not be in a "west" position. The wars are "short term"-on the long run BRICS+ cooperation is "booming". Looking at GDP-PPP China is the #1 global economy...The EU may be the #2... DJ, Confrontation-insanity, blind racism/white power ideology, neo-colonial trade-enforced-relations all are weakening the west... Europe overdoing its relation with the US at the costs of European interests is bad for both the US and Europe... For the US-still #1 in GDP (without PPP-what you can buy for the money) trade with the #1 in GDP-PPP China may be "wise". Needs balancing diplomacy NOT confrontation. US needs NORMAL relations with Latin America-NOT brutal criminal US backed "generals/dictators". US and Latin America both share a colonial history. In part even by the same colonial powers (UK, NL, Spain are all major colonial history in the present US). Europe-again-needs NORMAL relations with Asia, Africa...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Russia or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Russia in part is Scandinavian/Viking history... The Roman Empire -in some periods- was mainly in an economic sense-North African...(Egypt main grain producer..Roman Empire included even Ethiopia...An expedition to the sources of the Nile may have seen an Ebola-outbreak in a Roman expedition). Greek-Persian conflicts may remind of Alexander the Great naming cities after him even in Afghanistan .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kandahar#Name or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kandahar#Name ; The modern name of the city derives from the name of the original city built here, Alexandria. This city (often referred to as Alexandria in Arachosia to distinguish it from other Alexandrias) was founded after the invasion of Alexander the Great in 330 BC. The name "Alexander" in the local Pashto language is rendered as "Iskandar". It is believed that over time this transformed into "Scandar", and eventually the modern "Kandahar".^[9] DJ, The northern Black Sea coast-now in UKraine-has lots of Greek history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason So a "US-EU west" in a historical sense is "not the norm"...America-for-America and Europe as part of Eurasia/Africa land block could be more in balance...
