A number of PKK leaders refuse to work with the Iranian-backed Shi’ite militia.The relations between PKK and Iran have been strong over decades and the PKK-affiliated groups have been supporting Bashar Assad in Syria and registered as part of Hashd al-Shaabi in Iraq due to such close ties between PKK and Iran.

MESOP NEWS Analysis : The complex battle for control in eastern Syria
Tom Wescott/IRIN & Aron Lund – STOCKHOLM, 30 May 2017 – Freelance journalist and analyst specialising on Syria, and regular IRIN contributor
Ever since a deal was struck in the Kazakh capital of Astana early this month to de-escalate the conflict in western Syria, all eyes have been turning east. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his allies have just launched an operation to “take control of the eastern desert in Syria”. It is not just about driving out the Sunni extremist group known as the Islamic State, but also about preventing other rivals from filling the void.
The Astana agreement is less a driver of this new logic of war, in which all sides seek to position themselves for maximal gain in a fragmented Syria, than a reflection of new realities. Though al-Assad’s opponents remain reluctant to say so in public, they increasingly operate under the assumption that Russian and Iranian support has succeeded in saving his regime in Damascus and the pertinent questions now are: Which areas will he be able to retake – when, how, and from whom?

MESOP BACKGROUNDER : US GOVERNMENT NOW PAYS MORE THAN 2/3 of all PYD/PKK War expanses – US Steps Up Arms Supply in Southeast
31 May 2017 – MESOP – Syrian PYD/PKK rebels say the US and its allies have stepped up supplies to them in the southeast, helping them defend against possible attacks by a pro-Assad offensive trying to advance along the vital highway from Iraq through Syria. “There has been an increase in the support,” said Tlass Salameh, head of a Free Syrian Army faction. “There’s no way we can let them open the Baghdad-Damascus highway.”
The declaration raises the question as to whether the US will back the rebels beyond a 55-km (34-mile) exclusion zone around the Tanf base near the Iraq border, whether American special forces train and assist the Free Syrian Army. Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=86178

MESOP NEWS TÜRKEY : HAKAN FIDAN WILL NICHT REDEN ! ERDOGAN’S PUTSCH!
31 Mai 2017 – MESOP – Aktuelle Aussagen eines Geheimdienstinformanten und mutmaßlicher Putschisten vor türkischen Gerichten bestärken die von vielen Insidern geteilte Vermutung, dass Präsident Erdoğan frühzeitig über die Putschpläne informiert war, den Umsturzversuch aber nicht verhindert hat. Die beharrliche Weigerung des Geheimdienstchefs Hakan Fidan und des Generalstabschefs Hulusi Akar, vor dem Parlamentsausschuss auszusagen, wirft weitere Fragen auf, zumal beide, bislang unbestritten, am Nachmittag des 15. Juli über den bevorstehenden Putschversuch informiert waren. Wenn aber alle Sicherheitskräfte rechtzeitig gewarnt worden wären, hätte das Blutvergießen mit fast 300 Toten verhindert werden können.

MESOP NEWS INSIGHT : Wurde der Putsch von Erdogan kontrolliert? / Hakan Fidan sagt nicht aus / MICHAEL RUBIN’S KOMMENTAR (AEI)
30 Mai 2017 – Die Spitzen von türkischer Armee und Geheimdienst waren womöglich über Pläne für einen Aufstand informiert. Jetzt wird spekuliert, warum sie die Regierungsgegner gewähren ließen. Von Susanne Güsten
Wenn es nach der türkischen Regierung geht, gibt es keine Zweifel: Der Putschversuch des vergangenen Sommers wurde auf Befehl des Predigers Fethullah Gülen ausgeführt, und der Plan scheiterte am beherzten Widerstand von Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan und vieler Normalbürger auf den Straßen des Landes. Fast ein Jahr nach der Putschnacht vom 15. Juli kommen aber neue Fragen auf: Aussagen eines Informanten des Geheimdienstes und Stellungnahmen mutmaßlicher Putschisten vor Gericht legen nahe, dass Ankara frühzeitig über die Putschpläne informiert war, den Umsturzversuch aber nicht verhinderte. Westliche Geheimdienste denken ähnlich.Der ehemalige Brigadegeneral Erhan Caha jedenfalls ist sicher, ….. Volltext http://www.mesop.de/?p=86186
