Russlands Außenminister: Kein dreiseitiges Projekt mit Iran zu Syrien-Krise
MOSKAU, 16. Januar (RIA Novosti). – „Wir führen heute Verhandlungen mit Dschawad Zarif. Am morgigen Tag sollen unsere Verhandlungen mit (dem syrischen Außenminister) Walid Muallem stattfinden. Dies bedeutet nicht das Vorhandensein eines dreiseitigen Projektes. Unsere drei Länder nehmen in Bezug auf die Syrien-Krise eine keineswegs unübliche Position ein“, so Lawrow.
….. oder genauer: Lawrow agiert und verhandelt dreiseitig, will aber so optisch nicht gesehen werden, damit auch Kerry sich auf der Genfer Konferenzbühne noch fürs Foto sich dazustellen kann. (MESOP)

Sabri Ok: If Kurds are not recognised as a third party they’ll reject Geneva
CİHAN ÖZGÜR – Behdinan 16.01.2014 – KCK Executive committee member Sabri Ok says Kurds should reject Geneva II if they are not recognised as a third party. “They say the Kurds can only come to Geneva without an identity. This is injustice and an insult to the Kurds.” Ok added that a model for resolution of the Syrian crisis would not succeed without taking the Kurds into account. “A status for Kurdistan without the approval of the Kurds is a non-starter. Rojava has already established its own status.”

A BETTER APPROACH TO GENEVA: AID THE SYRIAN OPPOSITION NOW
By David Pollock – January 15, 2014 – Resuming direct U.S. material support for anti-Assad forces offers the only serious prospect, even if modest, for halting Syria’s downward slide and its damage to U.S. interests. Amidst final preparations for the Geneva II conference on Syria next week, the available policy options are poor. The conference’s chances of more than mere procedural or very partial outcomes, such as limited ceasefires and humanitarian-access agreements, are slim. But simply walking away from the Syrian crisis or direct military intervention in it offers even worse prospects.
NEW RESEARCH : HIZB ALLAH AT WAR IN SYRIA: FORCES, OPERATIONS, EFFECTS & IMPLICATIONS
By Jeffrey White – CTC Sentinel – January 2014 – As the war in Syria rages, the conflict has presented a major challenge to Lebanese Hizb Allah’s military organization, command, and combat forces. Hizb Allah has embarked on sustained expeditionary warfare for the first time in its history and finds itself pitted against enemies it had neither sought nor prepared to fight, on unfamiliar territory, and in a cause different from its “resistance” raison d’etre.
THE COPRESIDENCEY OF KCK EXECUTIVE COUNCIL / STATEMENT ON GENEVA II
TO OUR PEOPLES AND THE PUBLIC OPINION
15.1.2013 – The Geneva II conference on Syria’s future is going to be held on the 22th of January. This conference is supposed to play a role in forming the new Syria. Particularly, an agreement between USA, Russia, and France is expected. But another fact is that the viewpoints of the regime and those of the opposition are too far off to reconcile.
