Worse case.There is an unconfirmed deal circulating the internet between HTS and SDF, the major thing is giving the Syrian Kurds a self-governing state like Iraq's Kurdistan, also dismantling PKK.
I won’t share the drafted deal until it’s official.
You generously forgave Holland and Japan after (!) a decade of aggression and occupation, but not during the occupation. Forgiving an enemy during aggression is not generosity, it is called something else. Holland and Japan have not engaged in militaristic propaganda for a long time, do not wage aggressive wars, do not threaten their neighbors and Indonesia. Therefore, they can be forgiven. As for Russia, unfortunately, we do not see this. We want the Russian authorities to stop feeding their people with militaristic propaganda, not to threaten neighboring countries, so that they stop these terrible wars and deal with their internal problems. After all, no one threatens Russia.em
emotions always make everything not propotional. you can read my statement not only for russian case, its in general, for russian which we can assure after these will be vanish fron syrian land, with all of its influences.
Indonesian already faces all of this stituations regarding dutch colonialism, japan occupations, with all tragedy in it. we also had trouble for forgiving, for those two countries have done, almost 30 years we spent to make those forgiveness feeling came and becoming our new ways to create relation with those countries.
But you should remember, what happen in syria its the exacly happen in indonesia before, Assad = Soeharto in indonesia. the hard think that indonesian must face not struggle for independence but what happen in end of 90ties, our countries almost broke in to pieces, become second balkan tragedy. But with the consideration that forgiving is the best way to move forward. we can solve a very hard horizontal conflict between ethnic, etc, even we can solve aceh case that haunting us for over 35 years. now you can see what happen to Indonesia, in 20 years we comeback, becoming one of 20 biggest economy in the world with all of problems in it. can focus to develop our own country. I 100 % aggree with jolani and erdogan, that syria belong to syrian people, and must solve all of his problems by syrian people only, that include all of the tribes in it. weapons do not solve problems.
It is estimated to number around 3 million (2000-2010 estimates) and is the largest segment after the Sunni Arabs. However, since the Baathist regime ignored the Turkmen presence, they were 'mostly' seen as part of the Arab population, so it is difficult to say the exact population. Estimates are based on towns and cities with dense Turkmen settlements and historical tribes. Some Turkmen people do not speak Turkish and have been subjected to heavy assimilation policies for several generations, yet they have never rebelled against the state in Syrian history. Turkmens took up arms once, and they overthrew the Baath regime that time. (In sum, despite all the challenges, Syrian Turkmens are more successful in preserving their cultural heritage than Lebanese and Palestinian Turkmens or from Egypt's Turks.)Just out interest does anyone know the exact Turkmen population of Syria?

The last thing they want is Turkmen independence. Just imagine if they were independent in both Syria and Iraq... It would essentially encircle Iran's Turkic population areas and they would be next to gain independence. From there a bridge to central asia would be inevitable. The world would wake up to a unified Turkic entity that would challenge the current order. Neither China, Russia nor the west wants this. Neither do their allies.So the Turkmen population is bigger then the collective Kurdish population in syria. In the entire civil war we've not heard one word about them from the entire anglo-american aligned media. A similar thing takes place concerning the Turks of Iran.

The Syrian National Army rescued the Tishrin Dam on the Euphrates River from the terrorist organization PKK/YPG.The YPG/PKK terrorist organization broke the ceasefire at the Tishrin Dam. Looks like it won't even take four hours.
