OREANDA-NEWS  Turkey and the new Syrian authorities may launch a joint operation against the Kurds who control the northeast of the Arab Republic. This information was reported by the Hurriyet newspaper, quoting sources.
The publication notes that all statements coming from the new leadership in Damascus indicate that the focus of their worldview in the coming period will be on preserving the political unity of the country and eliminating all armed groups outside of Damascus' control.

In addition, the article suggests that if an operation were to take place, there could be a potential issue with the reaction of the United States, which has traditionally supported Kurdish militias. However, the authors point out that President-elect Trump's plans to reduce US military involvement in global conflicts could create an opportunity for this situation.

Earlier, the Washington Post reported that President Trump could face a "tough choice" regarding the military presence in Syria. He wants to withdraw US troops from the country, which could increase the risk of terrorism spreading in the region. However, the Trump administration has not yet provided any clear statements on this issue and seems to contradict itself on the matter of Syria.
