Aliko to ARK: The Kurds, the opposition and the revolutionaries are the ones affected by the Turkish normalization with the regime

ARK News... Fouad Aliko, a member of the Political Committee of the Kurdistan Yakiti Party - Syria, on Tuesday, January 3, 2023, said that Turkey is seeking to extend the text of the Adana Agreement from 5 km to 30 km inside Syrian territory.

Aliko said during his participation in the ARK newsletter that the fate of 8 million Syrians is linked to Turkey's reconciliation with the regime, and because of the opposition of America, Russia, and Iran to the Turkish ground military operation, the latter wants to activate the Adana Agreement and amend its text to 30 km in order to legitimize its entry into Syrian territory.

He continued that Turkey made concessions to the Syrian regime, and the aim of Turkish normalization with the regime is to withdraw the pressure card from the Turkish opposition, which plays on this chord, especially with the approaching June Turkish elections, and the Syrian regime also has its conditions such as handing over areas controlled by Turkey, handing over people from the opposition and opening international roads and crossings.

He pointed out that Turkey's withdrawal from the regions in the implementation of the regime's conditions is the weakest scenario and will create more chaos because millions of Syrians reject the Turkish rapprochement with the Syrian regime, and the regions will witness bombing and a new war unless the negotiations lead to a truce on how to find a solution in accordance with Resolution 2254.

He made it clear that the regime needs Turkey, but its position is strong, and although the opposition has not issued an explicit position, it cannot oppose Turkish decisions regarding normalization.

At the end of his speech, he said that the results of normalization with the regime are disastrous for the Kurds and the revolution, especially if Turkey succeeds in extending the text of the Adana Agreement from 5 km to 30 km, and it will lead to the creation of a new state of asylum, displacement, and homelessness.
