Al-Arab: The negotiations of the Syrian Constitutional Committee are absurd in the absence of international agreements

The Arab newspapers published this morning on the Syrian issue dealt with several issues, the most prominent of which was the failure of the so-called Constitutional Committee, and in this context Al-Arab newspaper said: “The third round of discussions on the Syrian constitution in the Swiss capital Geneva ended without any tangible progress, as was expected, in the absence of consensus between the conflicting regional and international powers on the Syrian soil.

Observers say, "The success of the committee in reaching a new constitution is not dependent on the response of the conflicting local forces as much as it is related to the availability of international will, noting that the failure to reach a solution to the issue of northeastern Syria and the marginalization of the People's Protection Units controlling that geographical area, in addition to The complex of Idlib governorate and its vicinity, all of this prevents any breakthrough.

Observers point out that the settlement of the Idlib issue is completely linked to the settlement of the Kurdish issue, as Turkey is trying to preserve the status quo in the northwestern province controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and invest it in the bargaining game with the Russian and American sides.

Many warn that Turkey may turn Idlib into a new Cyprus if the Autonomous Administration is established in northeastern Syria, pointing out that in light of this intertwined and complex situation, it is difficult to achieve any breakthrough at the level of writing a new constitution for Syria.
