The YPG Northern Syrian Kurds are facing armed violence from the Turkish Armed Forces and pro-Turkish mercenaries, but also from ISIS whose cores are still active against them. In the relatively recent meeting of the leaders of Russia-Iran-Turkey, it was decided to prevent the creation of a Kurdish semi-independent formation in Northern Syria
This benefits the three countries and Syria, but also China for the following reasons:
1. Iran as well as Turkey have Kurdish minorities, so they have every benefit from not creating an autonomous Kurdish state in Northern Syria, considering that doing so would create similar expectations in their minority.
2. They still expect economic benefits from the exploitation of the region’s oil fields, which the Kurds now own.
3. Iran has also largely reconciled with Assad, whom we have allied militarily with the IRGC (revolutionary guards) and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, and expects to further benefit from post-war Syria by coming into “contact” with the enemy of Israel.
4. Turkey, for its part, is trying, following Russian prompting, to make peace with Assad, expecting the recognition of the pseudo-state in Cyprus by Damascus, the demarcation of maritime zones (EEZ) with it as well as its participation in the reconstruction of Syria.
5. Russia sees Turkey as the geopolitical player that can, in cooperation with Syria, penetrate energetically into the SE Mediterranean, creating problems for the US-EU-Cyprus-Greece which insist on the energy independence of the European Continent from Russia.
6. At the same time, the normalization of Turkey-Syria relations with the Russian presence in Syria as well as Iran, create an anti-Western coalition of states in the region, against the NATO Middle East being formed by the USA-Israel-Arab countries.
7. Finally, China benefits from the non-creation of a Kurdish formation in Northern Syria, since on the “Silk Road” it would not find a pro-Western state in front of it.
It follows from the above that we will have rapid developments in Northern Syria at the expense of the Kurds from Turkey-Syria-Russia-Iran, with the ultimate goal of pushing the Kurds south of the M4 highway along its entire length and settling in the area Syrian refugees of Arabic and of non-Kurdish origin who are now in Turkey, with the aim of demographically altering Northern Syria from the Kurdish element.
