Turkish forces are preparing to withdraw from some observation points, most notably “Morek” in the northern Hama camp, while other Turkish forces enter the Syrian border to settle north of Idlib, in steps that observers describe as relocation operations to offer “concessions” and “agreements” based on agreements with Russia, the conflict in the Caucasus may not be far from that.
Previously, Ankara stepped up its statements calling for the withdrawal of Syrian regime forces from all areas it had controlled since April 2019, and promised to expel them from them in case they did not respond. But it seems that the matter has now changed, as the Turkish army prepares to withdraw from its military points located within the Syrian regime areas in the Hama and Idlib countryside.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, “Turkish forces are dismantling their equipment and packing their luggage in both Murak and Sher Maghar, in the north and west camp of Hama, as-Sarman, Tal Touqan, Tarnbah, Mardikh, Maarhatat, and the eastern point of Saraqib, which is located in the eastern and southeastern countryside of Idlib.
He confirmed that a Turkish military convoy of 75 vehicles entered Syria from the Kafr Lusin crossing, north of Idlib, and headed to the observation points deployed within the de-escalation zone.
The Turkish government, for its part, did not comment on these movements, but the Turkish political analyst, Taha Odehoglu, told the Al-Hurra website that “there is information from eyewitnesses that there is currently talk of some Turkish points near of Hama, like the observation point of Morek, will be dismantled, and informed the opposition of the possibility of withdrawal. ”
Turkey is also deploying forces at various military points it has established in Idlib, northwest Syria, as part of an agreement with Russia, an ally of the Syrian regime.
Davutoglu says: “It is clear that there are Turkish-Russian understandings based on meetings held between the two sides last month, and there was an agreement not to compete for observation points.”
Davutoglu did not rule out that the withdrawal “was based on concessions and compensations in other files.”
He explained that “there are concessions and compensations in another file, such as the issue of the eastern Euphrates or the conflict in Libya, as well as the war in the Caucasus between Armenia and Azerbaijan. These are all common files between the Turks and the Russians, and I think that there’s a great relationship between them. ”
Ihsanoglu believes that Turkey has managed to mix up the Russian letters so far, “since Moscow wanted to stop the war, but Turkey said it wants to end the Armenian occupation, and this for Russia is disturbing and disturbing, so it is possible that the withdrawal of Morek and other points related to the conflict In the Caucasus “.
However, Davutoglu points out that the Turkish withdrawal from some observation points may be in exchange for allowing the presence in other regions, which is supported by the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdul Rahman, in his interview with the site. website “Al-Hurra”, if it indicates that “it is not It is logical that Turkey renounces an important card, unless it is for the good of another geographical place or to strengthen its presence in another region.
And on Sunday, a military convoy of Turkish forces entered the ‘Putin – Erdogan’ area, through the Kafrlossin border crossing in northern Idlib, and headed towards Joseph’s area in Jabal Al-Zawiya, “according to Abdul Rahman.
He added that the entry of the military convoy brought more Turkish forces into the areas near the border, noting that “there are still Turkish forces that continue to enter this area.”
Turkish vehicles loaded with military equipment and soldiers reached the Kadura area located in the eastern part of Jabal Al-Zawiya, which faces the Aleppo-Damascus international highway.
The observatory says that “Turkey has a strategy of remaining indefinitely in the Syrian territories, within some arrangement, and controlling its border strip from the area that extends from Jisr al-Shughur to the area of Operation Euphrates Shield.”
