That\u2019s not impossible but it will be difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe US sponsored talks between the civilian wing of SDF and ENKS which is a Kurdish part of the overall Syrian opposition a Kurdish supported by the Iraqi Kurds and also by Turkey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTurkey had a peace ceasefire with PKK. Turkey dealt with the political leadership of the YPG and PYD in Syria until 2015,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added saying, \u201cSo it is possible this can happen again which will be a very good development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the <a href=\"https:\/\/npasyria.com\/en\/70905\/\">US withdrawal<\/a> from northeastern Syria, Jeffery noted, \u201cAfter Afghanistan, it will be very unlikely that the US will withdraw from any place unless there is a very clear evidence that we have succeeded fully, and this is not the case now in Syria. I am sure the troops will stay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US troops have a combat mission to fight ISIS. They are authorized by US Congress. And that\u2019s the only legal authorization to conduct combat operations other than itself-defense, Mr. Jeffrey said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former US Special Envoy for Syria said #US can play significant role bringing #SDF and #Turkey close together in #Syria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":70942,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[39,3,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-politics","category-syria"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
