MESOP NEWS ANALYSIS : America’s Kurdish Allies in Syria Drift Toward the Regime, Russia & Iran
MESOP NEWS : AT THE VERY END PKK/PYD JOIN THE RANKS OF RUSSIA & IRAN AND AGAIN OF ASSAD REGIME – AS THEY DID BEFORE
By Kyle Orton – Jamestown Foundation – 10 Dec 2017 – The American-led Coalition against the Islamic State (IS) partnered with the “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF), a political façade for the proscribed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), as the ground force in Syria. The most ventilated problems with this partnership so far have been the strain it has put on relations with NATO ally Turkey, against which the PKK has run a terrorist-insurgency for more than thirty years, and the deep local suspicion of the PKK’s governing program that might yet reverse the gains against IS and open political space for other jihadists like al-Qaeda. Another of the problems is now gaining salience: the PKK’s long-term alliance with Bashar al-Asad’s regime and the states—Russia and Iran—that keep it alive.

Many analysts say that Russia, through the use of subterfuge and propaganda, is seeking to help unmoor Turkey from the West and more into Russia’s sphere of influence.
On Dec. 1, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s office issued an arrest warrant for Graham Fuller, who was identified in Turkish media as a “former CIA official,” or, more provocatively, as a “CIA agent.” Fuller was accused of “attempting to overthrow the government of the Republic of Turkey and obstructing the missions of the Republic of Turkey.” He was blamed, in other words, for having a hand in the failed July 2016 coup attempt against the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
