Syrian puzzle: CAA goes to the aid of the Kurdish detachments in Afrin

RIA News with reference to (quote) "an informed source" reports that in the coming days, the Syrian government army will enter Afrin. Recall that at the approaches to this city in the north of the SAR now Turkish troops and pro-Turkish forces of the so-called “free army” are fighting with the Kurdish militia. We are talking about the operation "Olive Branch".

Recall that about two weeks ago, one of the Kurdish field commanders called on the Syrian government army to assist the Kurds in fighting against the Turkish troops. It is noteworthy that earlier the same Kurdish troops were prepared by American instructors to counter the Syrian government army.

Azaz (Syria)

If you believe the "informed source" RIA News, the CAA is ready to enter Afrin after the agreement that was recently reached between official Damascus and the command of the Syrian government units.

The Pentagon currently refrains from official comments on this subject, while continuing to recognize the fact of support for Kurdish troops in northern Syria. Recall that the Turkish leadership considers the Kurdish YPG units linked to the Kurdistan Workers Party, which is recognized by Ankara as a terrorist organization.

According to rumors, the Syrian army has already entered there! So now the Syrian-Turkish war will begin! In general, it was supposed to start - remember Turkish fuel trucks, with oil from igil! Indeed, the Turks will not abandon "their" fighters from igil and nusra. And the Syrian army must take control of the country! Here is the first, and most important, conflict that cannot be resolved peacefully.

[210ox]

Mixed in a bunch .... It looks like our guys have to disentangle there ..

[Logall]

The US will be able to bomb the SAA under the guise of Turkey’s membership in NATO! But on the other hand, Assad does not look distraught, probably held some consultations with the Russian Defense Ministry ...
I love chess, but only when pawns are not people!

Assad had absolutely NO options from the word and one can only hope that this movement has agreements.

Situation in Syria

Quote: Father of a soldier
A political decision is indispensable, but too motley negotiators.

I think .... Assad in a quiet, slightly, should help the Kurds, so that they would not later blame the government for leaving them 1 on 1 with the invasion from Turkey.

That's something like this, and the Turks, in turn, get curbed Kurds in Syria.

[Safevi]

One must not know Erdogan and the mood of the Turks in order to assert that the "Turks will depart." They will only depart if the Kurds are guaranteed to leave this sector. As for Assad, in the Turkish media he is called nothing more than the “butcher Assad,” and if the Turks enter into a fight, the Turks will simply stretch their arms. The Turks have not yet used areal bombing and strikes on settlements, they worked very carefully, but they will use the entire arsenal against the Asad forces, do not hesitate.

We are not going to doubt, but you are also a lover of Turkish tomatoes, remember who is behind Assad, Erdogan is on your mind, but he has no desire to curse with Putin either, damn it.

[NEOZ]

Kurds are guaranteed to leave

“The Kurds won't go anywhere!” this is their home! they live there! what a strange statement?

not otherwise than the "butcher Assad"

- Yes, all the same, as Assad is called in Turkey.

hands will be untied

- And now with what are Turkey's hands tied?

but against asadovtsy

- i.e. not the whole arsenal is applied to the Kurds (terrorists according to Ankara), but will they be used against the SAA? what kind of oddity is this?
please explain the interests of Turkey in Syria and the ways to achieve these goals / objectives, be so kind ...

A possible clash with Russia. I am 100% sure that Russia will not unleash a war with Turkey for the sake of Assad.

The Turks themselves will not depart. They bend from Syria.

[Herculesic]

It seems that Trump, during a call to Erdogad via Tillerson, gave the Turk a “FAS” command, at the beginning of the partition of Syria, first, by the hands of the Turks! Therefore, Erdogad is so self-confident - the United States, at least, will not interfere with him, and if necessary, they will bomb the Syrian army! They urgently need to restore air defense.

[bald]

Most likely, a meeting with Erdogan again. And then - horseradish you will understand which side who will choose.

To be honest, I did not expect this step so soon. Everything resembles a game of one big chess game on a big board, with several players. Apparently, the process of pulling the Kurds out from under the Americans begins. How much Russia participates in this party will be seen by the reaction of the Turks. If they shout for a look, but do not cling to CAA, then ours hold on tightly to the situation. East is a delicate matter. We will see ...

[zivXP]

Everything is fine. I believe the Kurds will withdraw their YPGs, the threat to Turkey in Afghanistan will disappear. It's time for the Turks to cross the river, through Manbij.

[Viktor.12.71]

Quote: Alex-a832

pulling Kurds out from under the Americans

What kind of Kurds are you talking about? SDFs are completely American, and there are none in Afrin.

[Shahno]

In general, all serious players took up the task of us, the Turks, the Iranians. Russia needs to be super-careful, not in vain the states do not shine ...

[sib.ataman]

There will be no war, but as many provocations as you like. Alone against all Arabs? But not to the same extent Erdogan reckless. Yes, and the Russian Federation has not yet withdrawn its role as an intermediary.

It’s interesting, but who will the VKS support in this case? ...

VKS in this conflict will not participate.
Here it is not necessary to drag the videoconferencing here. (And this is how the sofa sofas and the Putinzassal are born)
The videoconferencing is fighting the terrorists of the Ishil and Nusra, with the opposition and the Kurds we are mediators and they are not considered terrorists in our country. Russia does not fight the people.

[Maz]

As if not to spray power. Already whispered from amers. Dizzy with success? We will see. Israel will now beware of sticking knives in the back.

1. What does it mean to shopped and who?
2. And the Americans in BV did not whisper?
3. In the war rub?

[Mikhail Krapivin]

Do you live in a vacuum? Open any resource and read from whom and who got it. Military losses are one thing, a sacred thing, and another thing is the discharge and the end of the myth of crazy Russians with which you should not get involved, because it is fraught with consequences. No consequences, everything is quiet and calm, "these bad boys are not with us, they have not agreed on their plans with the Moscow Region." Does anyone imagine a situation where ours iron the US PMC in Syria, and the American troops pretend that nothing terrible is happening and are not in a hurry to help? So I can’t imagine. So if someone else hasn’t tricked us in Syria - the welk!

[Fedorov]

the agreement recently reached between official Damascus and the command of the Syrian government units

Something I misunderstand. Are they both separately commanded by a third? Putin or something

[Stas157]

The Turks did not give Idlib, they shot down our second plane, and ours decided not to give the Turks Afrin. Especially since the Kurds are docile - with the Syrians it’s better than under the Turks.

[just exp]

the second plane was shot down not by the Turks, but by mattresses; there was already not one article about this.
in addition, the Turks did not have to shoot down at all. for when they first shot down on their skin they sensed that a downed plane gives nothing but problems.
there most likely the scheme is a kind and angry policeman. good is Assad, evil is Erdogan.
and the chief of the police station is Putin.

[Evil543]

I also thought, is it different people or just a typo?

Perhaps Government units (loyal to power). Hurried to quickly embed the news, did not check the text.

[sogdy]

Quote: Evil543

between official Damascus and the command of the Syrian government units.

There is an army (SAA) with a single command and there is a militia that has its own baboons.

[Alexey N]

Also me a Newton binom.
The statement is political, that is, real clashes are not yet implied.
Then, the Ottomans under the agreements most likely were given a specific time period in which they did not meet, the events near Afri entered a protracted stage, which is not beneficial to us (conditionally Iran, Syria, Russia), nor Turkey itself, which is important to save face and avoid serious losses.
Thus, we have a classic eastern contract. But not without a second bottom. Bleed Turkey and Russia (to ensure participation in the clashes of the Russian Aerospace Forces) implicitly dream of all parties to the conflict, including so on. "allies." Therefore, the statement is again - in the east colorful and-vah - how serious.
We follow the events and do not fantasize.

[Vard]

"which was recently achieved between official Damascus and the command of the Syrian government units." And what between them are there any problems?

[RUS96]

"The earth was shaking - like our breasts,
Mixed in a bunch of horses, people,
And the volleys of a thousand guns
Merged into a long howl ... "

[Mountain shooter]

IMHO, the Turks in this scenario-will depart. The gambit will develop according to the "Russian" scenario. Erdogan will not quarrel with Russia - it will hurt. And he knows about it. And the Kurds understood - Mattress will "throw them". And they decided to "retake."

[Alexey N]

So we will not wait for the coalition aviation, having taken off from Ingerlik, to bomb the Turkish troops near Afrin?
What a pity.

[rotmistr60]

The devil himself will break his leg in this mess. Let's see how events will develop further. But it can be assumed that the conflict will expand into a larger one and may become an impetus to CF.

[Zubr]

An interesting position has developed. There is clearly not a fight. Striped fenced off. The Kurds surrendered Afrin SAA, Or there will be a terrible battle with a huge number of victims, or goodbye mattress guardians. It would be better without our interference.

[_TANKIST_]

It looks like ordinary gossip, stuffing, if you want. The same "experts" also scream that the Syrians and Kurds are preparing for war according to Der-Izor))))

[NEOZ]

the entry of SAA forces into Afrin does not contradict the war at Deir iz Zor.

[_TANKIST_]

..... do you even understand yourself? In general, there and there Kurds !!! And as their parties are called, no one cares, because the Americans are protecting them all, and in case of a conflict with Turkey, you can quarrel with !!!! MEMBER !!!! "NATO" and at this time the Kurds can hit the rear .... they are puppets .....

[alex-cn]

For me, this is the usual Eastern tactics-practice of making friends and betraying anyone and anytime for the sake of their interests.

[dojjdik]

there is no heap here — they are waging war against Syria — the net-assassin Netanyahu the tragicomic Erdogan and the Saudi traitors from the 50s of the Sheikh; this gang is led by the red-haired puppeteer Trump (de facto a bunch of wealthy state Jews); a certain "igil" is already going into oblivion as well as some "Christians" and "Muslims" in Lebanon, the "Mujahideen" and a certain "Taliban" in Afghanistan, supposedly "Chechen Alawites" or some kind of "Albanians" in Yugoslavia in Yugoslavia Libya supposedly "Ukrainian" battalions of the Aidars of the Dnieper and other rabble-who throws them the loot, too, everyone knows

[Scoun]

+ something like this.

[NEOZ]

somehow too frankly ... perhaps ....

[seregatara1969]

did the Kurds to reconciliation with the Turks!

[oldav]

I do not understand anything..

[solovald]

"... between official Damascus and the command of the Syrian government units .." How is it? Who agreed with whom?

[sogdy]

the baboons agreed with Assad.

[Sergeant71]

This is so that the Turks do not go further into the depths of Syria. They will put up a cordon that will cover ALL the participants in the conflict in Idlib from Erdogan. And no one from the participants in the massacre will touch this cordon, because it is not even profitable for the IG. An interesting and correct decision.

[Livonetc]

Just a planned game of a good and evil cop.
The main task of Turkey is to prevent the creation of a Kurdish state.

[alexmach]

after the agreement that was recently reached between official Damascus and the command of the Syrian government units.

So I read this proposal and think "what is it"? Between whom is an agreement reached? Between official Damascus and ... Government units? Government units of official Damascus? Or is there some other government there? How stupid can journalists be?

[voyaka uh]

Just the whole formum was against the Kurds ("that's what they need, nefig ....")
We turn around 180 degrees, together, keeping up!
Now it’s all for the Kurds and their friend Assad. "Down with the Turkish occupation of Syrian land"
"Long live the Kurds - convinced Marxist-Leninists!"

[askort154]

voyaka uh ....... Turn around 180 degrees, together, keep up! ...

Who are you for ? For white or for red?

[NordUral]

Warrior, got up on the wrong foot? It is clear that you need not a single Syria nearby, but a bunch of tribes fighting each other, whom you will regularly bomb with impunity under the pretext that everyone offends you.

[Berkut24]

The Kurds can’t make the right decisions yet. So all their history and raking from everyone. This is a medical diagnosis.

[Labor]

Yes, maybe the Kurds and Assad really agreed to give the east of Euphrates with oil fields in exchange for help with the Turks in Afrin.

[Viktor.12.71]

There is no SDF in Afrin, and Kurdish Kurdish discord. I did not find confirmation that the SDFs supported by the Americans are fighting against the Turks. SDF translates as Syrian Democratic Forces.

[Yarik]

I ceased to understand anything at all, from the word "completely."

[NordUral]

I think that the Kurds have slowly begun to understand what kind of partners and allies the United States.

[NordUral]

The good news is for Syria as a whole, and for solving the Kurdish problem. Solving the problem of the Kurds, Syria will squeeze the staff and others from its territory. And Russia will help, we no longer have another option.
