Turkey's priority over Syria is to destroy the PKK,
The Syrian government's priority is to be recognized by world states and quickly get its economy back on its feet,
America and Israel's goal is to occupy Damascus and establish connections with the PKK.
America, Israel and Western countries are pressuring the new Syrian government to compromise with the PKK, presenting this as a precondition for lifting the embargo on Syria, and are also insisting that the Syrian government act independently of Turkey.
Although the Syrian government appears to be acting independently of Turkey, it has not bowed to America's demands regarding the PKK,
This is why the Druze were revolted south of Damascus, Israel continues its invasion towards Damascus, and Israel accused the Syrian government of being terrorists just yesterday.
When you put all these together, it is easier to understand the picture.
The most important thing to the survival of the new syrian administration and the state remaining in once piece is Turkiye.
This new admin has been achieved 100% because of Turkish support. We don't need to go into the past, its clear the burden and risk Turkiye endured to keep the rebel movement alive. Lets not forget that we had both the US and Russia threatening war against us. Only nation on earth whose had both the US and Russia threatening them at the same time.
The Syrian governments priority is survival, after that its about getting recognised by world states. Just like the Turkish Cypriots their priority was survival, after that is world recognition. No world recognition, yet for the most part they live just fine in a peaceful Turkish republic of Northern Cyprus.
Lets just presume tomorrow the Turkish/Syrian relationship is completely broken and Turks do not support Syria anymore. Syria is finished. Why? Without Turkiye who can stop the american backed pkk project in the north? Without Turkiye who can build the syrian nation to hold back Isreal? Without Turkiye or rather that relationship with Turkiye what leverage does Syria have against her enemies?
Like i said before i suspect part of the reason the Syrians are talking again with the Russians to return is not out of love, its to pressure the west to lift sanctions. Don't lift sanctions then ill go with Russia again. I also suspect that their dealings with the PKK traitors is also to buy time. But for all the good things, ive seen many things that bring doubts. But i've also been saying from day one that time will tell. But the middle east is notorious for this kind of behaviour, this lack of honour and dignity. That Iranian style of politics where they try to kill you today but tomorrow they can pretend they are your best friends. Utterly shameless and so alien to traditional Turk character. You can see this shameless middle eastern behaviour on here at times when posters are whimsical about Turks or Turkish identity. That identity kept Turks strong and united throughout history and the positive externality of that for the wider Muslim world was that Turks as Muslims kept Islamic civilisation strong and safe.
But lets look at this from our enemies eyes concerning Syria? If i'm the USA, EU, Russia, Isreal, Iran, Shia death squads etc, the most important thing is to break the connection between Turkiye and Syria. To drag the Syrians out far enough into ocean, where then they will be left alone to drown. This strategy was also used on the Turkish Cypriots, to make them hate the motherland. Fortunately Turkish Cypriots learning of the wests true nature, of the greeks true nature seem to be reverting course. Even the Azerbaijanis saw that many of them were living an illusion concerning the west in their last war when they saw how one sided the narrative was against them in the west.
Most important thing for Syria is their "alliance" with Turkiye, the rest is worthless without Turkiye. Without Turkiye whatever they think they are chasing is no more then smoke and mirrors.
And if worst comes to worst and the western world will not lift sanctions against Syria, then Syria should form with Turkiye. We can go back to how it had been for the prior 1000 years before world war 1. Actually this idea should start being expressed at somepoint if the westerners insist on keeping sanctions on syria, what a nightmare that would be for them. Plotting to balkanise the region only for the region to unite with Turkiye making the most powerful Muslim majority nation in the region even bigger.
