Assad, A Pariah No More #WorldNEWSAll
Russia, Turkiye and UAE have initiated plans to start talks with Basher Al-Assad, an unthinkable step till date, and establish peace once again in war torn Syria.
It seems as if the pariah of the Arab world, Bashar Al-Assad may soon get a reprieve, as the global and regional powers rally together to forgive him and try to bolster his regime. The latest efforts may also result in further weakening of the US influence in the region.
Turkish efforts
This change in Turkish stand is sponsored by Assad’s major military ally Russia and the UAE, which have sought to improve Assad’s standing in the Middle East to help balance Iranian influence in Syria.

Whereas several years ago countries in the region would have looked on such a rapprochement negatively, they are now supportive and that may be construed as an important shift.
Events of the last week report that regional players Turkiye and UAE, in partnership with global player Russia have initiated diplomatic efforts to rehabilitate Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, and try to find an end to the decade-old war in Syria
Turkiye, which previously backed the 2011 rebellion against Assad, is now prepared to publicly recognise his rule over Syria and work to rebuild diplomatic, security and trade ties, in a complete about turn, in order to ensure peace on its south-western border.
Basically, Turkiye wants Assad to rule out allowing the US-backed Kurdish dominated, Peoples Defence Units or Peoples Protection Units (YPG), to form an autonomous area in northern parts of the country that they currently control, as part of any future peace agreement,if the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan restarts any reconciliatory process.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Reports say that Erdogan floated the idea of meeting with Assad as recently as last Thursday, after high-level meetings between Syrian and Turkish officials earlier in Moscow.
Erdogan has been reported as saying that, we will come together as leaders according to the developments, hinting at a meeting with Assad and Putin, soon.
Turkiye has lately indicated that it was preparing to put aside hostilities with neighbouring Syria. Frustrated by Washington’s refusal to end military assistance to Kurdish militia in Syria, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is seeking to resolve the matter through other brokers in the conflict.
Russian and Emirati stand
For Russia, such a deal will help it show it can successfully challenge US influence in Syria and the region.
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his military to intervene in support of Syrian President Bashar al Assad in 2015, helping to tip the balance in the civil war in Syria, in favour of the Assad regime.
