Al-Akhbar learned, from informed sources, that “Moscow is leading intensive talks with the Turks and the SDF, with the aim of calming differences and finding an agreement that will end the existing tension in Ain Issa between the two parties.” . According to the sources, “the Russian side asked the Turks and the factions loyal to them to withdraw from the villages of Al-Jahbel and Musharrafa, of which they took control on Friday, in exchange for preparations for a complete withdrawal of Qasd of the region “. The sources added that “the SDF agreed to withdraw from the city and its surroundings, maintaining the presence of Asayish forces and the Autonomous Administration, and not handing over administrative powers in the city to the Syrian government.” She revealed that “the Russians asked the Turks to calm down until they persuaded the Qasd to hand over the city to the Syrian army and return state institutions to it,” noting that “Moscow has informed the Kurds that there are serious Turkish intentions to control all the region”. He noted that “all the data indicate that Ankara does not oppose the return of the Syrian army and Syrian state institutions to the city in exchange for stopping the attacks”, hoping that “the next few days will determine the fate of the city, whose inhabitants have been displaced by the bombings and clashes that occurred last week. ”
The Russians called on the Turks to calm down until they convinced the SDF to hand over the city to the Syrian army.
On the other hand, Qasd spokesman Kino Kabriel, in a statement to Al-Akhbar, declined to comment on the Russian request that its forces hand over the city to the Syrian army, noting that “the frequency of clashes has decreased and Tension has decreased relatively, after the violent Turkish attacks on civilians. In Ain Issa and its countryside. “Kabriel indicated that” communication continues with the Russian side to protect the city and its people from Turkish attacks, “adding that” any agreement they enter into with the Russian side on military issues will be officially announced. And he demanded that “Moscow and Washington exert their influence to prevent the repetition of Turkish attacks in northern and eastern Syria.” At this time, the “SDF” continued to mobilize its supporters against Moscow, sponsoring demonstrations for them in the Hasakah and Raqqa governorates, in which they raised slogans blaming Russia for the Turkish attacks on Ain Issa. It detained Ahmed Khalil, a member of the governing body of the “Raqqa Civil Council” affiliated with the “Autonomous Administration”, in a speech, incidentally, “the Russian guarantor is responsible for the violent bombardment of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries”, accusing Moscow of “not moving any inhabitants to stop these attacks.”
Faced with this reality, the intransigence of the “SDF” in withdrawing from Ain Issa and handing over military and administrative powers to the Syrian government is expected to lead to the return of the Turkish escalation in the city and its countryside. This is what Ankara does not hide its intention to do by pushing military reinforcements towards the city of Akcakale, with the transfer of several fighters from its armed factions from Ras al-Ain and Tal Abyad to the front lines in the Ain Issa camp. Turkey also pushed military reinforcements towards the front lines in the cities of Tal Tamr and Abu Raseen in the western Hasaka countryside, indicating an intention to expand the range of attacks in the Qasd control areas, which are adjacent to the M4 road. The events, so far, do not suggest the completion of any Russian agreement with the “SDF”, which threatens to increase tensions with the Turks, along the international highway that runs from Manbij in the eastern Aleppo countryside to Darbasiyah. in the northwestern countryside of Hasaka.
