Nasser Kandil wrote: Al-Assad to America and Turkey: Pay attention

  • During his reception of the Russian governmental delegation the Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad presented two important political signs related to Washington and Ankara.
  • The President Al-Assad accused the Syrian Democratic Forces and all those work under the banner of the Americans and every foreign force with traitors and agents, so he ended the debate of how to deal with the Kurdish leaderships away from the dealing with the Kurds as Syrian component since there is no problem in finding compromises for the issues about its relation with the Syrian country. The issue with the Kurdish leaderships is not a Syrian Kurdish issue, rather a Syrian National issue that is related to the Kurds and non-Kurds, it is an issue of the dealing with the foreigner who behaves as an occupier, so in this case he is the American.
  • This applies on the Turks and who deal with them, but the most important message to the Americans and the Kurds together is that Al Nusra front is as dangerous as ISIS, so the focus on ISIS aims to divert the attention from Al Nusra, and that the war on terrorism is not over yet despite the close winning in this war without getting rid of Al Nusra. Therefore the accusation was directed to the Americans and the Turks for protecting and using Al Nusra, so the war on it is considered an outgoing Syrian priority, it is a message to Washington and Ankara to pay attention.
  • These two messages of the President Al-Assad will draw the path of politics and war in the forthcoming months.
