The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) is not acting in line with an agreement it signed with Syria’s interim government last March to join the country’s state institutions, a Turkish Defense Ministry source said on August 7.
Turkey, the main ally of the Islamist-led government in Syria, views the SDF, which controls vast parts of northern and eastern Syria with direct support from the United States, as an extension of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party and deems it a threat to its national security.
“It has not escaped our attention that the SDF terrorist organization’s voice has become louder, empowered by the clashes in Syria’s south,” the source told reporters at a briefing in Ankara, in a reference to the fighting between Druze and Bedouin forces last month.
“The SDF terrorist organization’s attacks in the outskirts of Manbij and Aleppo against the Syrian government in recent days damage Syria’s political unity and territorial integrity,” the source added.
There has been no progress whatsoever towards implementing the breakthrough agreement signed by the government and the SDF earlier this.
On August 3 and 4 two rounds of clashes broke out between in Aleppo in northern Syria, with both sides exchanging accusations
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan reaffirmed Ankara’s support to Syria’s stability and reconstruction following a meeting with Syrian interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa in Damascus later on August 7.
In a statement posted on X, Fidan pledged continued support for Syria’s fight against what he called “extremist groups,” and reiterated Turkey’s readiness to help manage camps in northern and eastern Syria that house people with alleged ties to ISIS. These camps are controlled by the SDF.
All in all, it is highly unlikely that the government and the SDF will manage to move forward with their agreement. Damascus seems keen to disarm the group, and taking into account the massacres against Alawites last March and later against Druze in July, the Kurds will certainly refuse to hand over their weapons.
The two sides are clearly heading towards a battle. Turkey is guaranteed to back the government in any such fight. However, a victory against the SDF, which has more than heavily-armed 100,000 fighters, is not guaranteed at all.

.israel is only in the revenge business a half witted stance , this cult mindset has the region in turmoil . reality = this does not work
there is a pattern . if anyone points an israeli lie or criticizes its activities , poor policy or cover ups it is attacked. for disclosing truth , fact . this is group think revenge based policy .
idf will defend sdf !
zios will use the turds and then just throw them aside like a used kleenex. they are only goy untermenschen, after all.
we will take damascus for ourselves.
more like a used condom…the kurds like being fked and the u.s. is more than happy to ‘use’ them…over and over, like the whores they are. some people never learn. the only goal is to continue the slaughter of civilians through unrest. now, the lebanese gov wants to try their hand at national suicide. fools…blind, stupid corrupt fools at that.
damascus belongs to israel.
yes, moses had a crap there 5,000 years ago (or something) (allegedly.)
who’s gonna defend idf
the allies ripped syria apart!
heheheh
yes we did…ehhehehe
kurds = turds. zio whores.
i am sure they can be placated with the permission to kill more alevites and christians in syria.
jolani probably will be able to take raqqa and some other arab areas, but they will face harsh resistance any further.
or do we unite the druze and kurds into one government? this would also end violence against civilians.
remove erdogan and learn to respect all tribal lines and ethnic groups.turkey is not happy with assad regime,turkey is not happy with pkk.turkey is not happy with sdf but happy with alqaida killers of israel.
to do this, we would first have to fire putin and trump.

the second convoy arrived yesterday, consisting of 15 trucks carrying american armored vehicles.
meanwhile, the third convoy of 20 trucks arrived today. the trucks loaded with concrete blocks, fuel and other supplies.
these movements are part of the ongoing logistical support provided by the international coalition forces to their bases in north-eastern syria, to strengthen their presence in the region. on july 24, sohr activists reported that a convoy of the us-led international coalition crossed into syrian territory this evening from kurdistan region of iraq, via al-walid border crossing

turkish army and turkish allies have expelled the shia crescent then given space to sdf. why are they complaining?
if the kurds think they are going to win, especially against the turkish armed forces they are in for a surprise.
carving up syria may take up the next decade, by then any knowledge and capacity above primary school will be gone
kurds and a lot of other ar4med muslims are already at primary school capacity, so no change there.
venezuela has the largest oil reserves on the planet . so the us has issued a 50 million dollar reward to remove him . the pirates see all that oil and must try to steal it again . where is the syrian oil going now ?
now oil production in syria is 1/10 of level that was 20 years ago. and 20 years ago syria had as much oil as consumed inside. there are very small oil deposits, it’s not iraq.
