The crisis in Al-Qamishli
The crisis in Al-Qamishli – Colonel Cassad
translated by google
Against the backdrop of continued fighting in Latakia, Aleppo and under near Deir ez-Zor, exacerbated the situation in the province of Hasaka, where clashes between the Syrian army and the Kurds.
In recent days, there is a serious armed confrontation between the Kurds and the pro-government National Defence Force (FDN) in the city of Qamishli Al-Hasakah province.
Groups pull together in the Kurdish self-reinforcement city with other sectors of the front. Also, the source of the armed forces of the CAA informs arrival at the military airfield of three military transport planes with fighters of the Syrian Arab Army. Actively used tanks and artillery by both parties. It is the most serious crisis for all time of cooperation between the Syrian government and the armed groups of Kurds.
Not so long ago the civil authorities of Syrian Kurds said the goal of creating a Kurdish autonomous entity on Syrian territory. However, at the moment, says the presence of Syrian forces in more than 50 settlements in Al-Hasaka province. Including major city Al-Qamishli, which is a military airfield.
Creating an autonomous Kurdish education is impossible without subordination or disarmament combat units that retain the loyalty of the official Damascus on Kurdish areas of El Hasaka province. Kurds only needed an excuse to start a confrontation, and they got it when CHO checkpoint opened fire on the car of the Kurdish police, who refused to undergo the inspection.
At the same time, the authorities of the Syrian Arab Republic have repeatedly stated commitment to the position of the country’s territorial integrity. Official Damascus, until the armed conflict, will not try to prevent the establishment of an independent Kurdish state in Syria.
Actions warring parties only show increasing degrees of opposition. Someone has to make concessions, otherwise Syria will map new areas of active hostilities. Of course it will play into the hands of insurgents and “Islamic State” (banned in Russia), and the satellites of Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and Turkey itself, which carries out a military operation on its territory against the Kurds.
PS. It is possible to diagnose that the US strategy in northern Syria gives certain fruits. Fueling the ambitions of the Kurds, even to the detriment of the interests of Turkey, about which so rages Erdogan, the United States playing the Kurdish card complicate the situation Assad, which in my opinion makes a mistake, insisting that the situation of the Kurds in the post-war Syria will not change and no autonomy they receive . US constantly hinted that the Kurds can rely on self-determination and thus are able to use the Kurdish factor for their own purposes. It is no accident that just recently was the news that the US is buying 120 hectares in area Kobanov to deploy its military thereinfrastructure http://cigr.net/glavnoe/26149-siriya-ssh a-pokupayut-bolee-120-gektarov-zemli-vk obani.html Accordingly, Kurdish ambitions, coupled with the intransigence in matters of Assad Kurdish autonomy led to armedclashes http://cigr.net/glavnoe/26162-siriya-nov oe-video-Boev-v-kamyshly.html http://cigr.net/glavnoe/26162-siriya-nov oe-video-Boev-v- kamyshly.html , that if anyone was happy except the US and Turkey, it’s Caliphate.
Russia in this situation of course will try to reconcile the two sides, but did not rule out the possibility that it may come to a complete break, and Russia will have to choose. In any case, the US will try to put Russia is in a similar position (similar to the situation around the escalation of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh), therefore in the interests of the Russian Federation it is necessary to prevent the implementation of such a scenario, which could complicate the situation in Syria and in a number of negative scenarios lead to its disintegration.
It may be noted that without the settlement of the situation with the Kurdish autonomy, to talk about the post-war Syria rugged device is not necessary. In the old order Kurds apparently did not agree, after 4 years of war, the more that Washington is interested in the fact that they were subjectivity player in vnutrisiriyskih scenario, where the United States would act as a “lead partner”. Hence and support the political ambitions of the Syrian Kurds, arms supplies and the deployment of military infrastructure.
