Russia’s only Mediterranean repair and resupply facility, are reportedly the subjects of talks between the Kremlin and Syria’s new administration.
In Aanes, the Kurdish-led autonomous region in the country’s northeast, where Turkish-backed rebels have been conducting.
An attack against Kurdish-led troops since early December, the developing ties between Ankara and the new Syrian administration will be a source of anxiety.
The goal of this operation, according to Mr. Guler on Sunday, is to “dismantle” the People’s Defense Units (YPG).
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party, which has waged a decades-long insurgency against Ankara, is seen by Turkey as being represented by the YPG and the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), of which it is a member.
The political leadership of Aanes has said that it is eager to engage in talks with the recently appointed Syrian administration.
