Al-Bayan: The Syrian war parties await the American elections

The Arab newspapers published this morning on the Syrian issue dealt with several topics, the most prominent of which was the impact of the American elections. In this context, Al-Bayan newspaper said: “The handling of the Democratic and Republican parties with the Syrian crisis can be read in two contradictory tracks. The first tends to calm, while the republican position is rushing towards decisiveness, and this is also related to the relationship with the Iranian side, as the Republicans tend to do everything that would block their areas of influence.

As for the local Syrian parties, their aspirations vary from one side to the other, and even countries view the US presidential race as an opportunity to improve the situation on the ground.

In the Iranian case, the period of US President Donald Trump was more difficult than the Clinton era, since his election, the Israeli military operations targeting military militias have expanded, and the Iranian influence has decreased, according to observers, remarkably as a result of Israeli pressure with American approval, and this is what makes Iran one of the most feared from Trump's re-election.

As for Turkey, from the beginning, the Democratic candidate, Biden, attacked Turkish policy in Syria and the Middle East, and he said clearly, addressing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan: You are a tyrannical man, which sparked hostility between Biden and Turkey.

The Russians are the most understanding with the Republicans in the Syrian case, since Trump took power, the Russian-American relationship has not witnessed any problems. Rather, the United States of America supports the Russian plans in Syria every time, starting from Astana to the Constitutional Committee.

The American difference in the Syrian crisis is very clear between the republican and democratic poles, especially since Syria today is in a stage of political and military settlement, and thus the American factor in the crisis will have a major impact and repercussions on the future of Syria, as well as the interference of the countries of the region in the Syrian crisis.

Al-Arab: Too many Interfering spoil efforts to solve the Libyan crisis

Regarding the Libyan issue, Al-Arab newspaper said: “Local, regional and international forces are trying to strengthen their roles in the Libyan crisis, after the features of a parallel political solution appeared on the horizon, and the moves increased with the announcement of the holding of talks in Geneva, in the middle of next month, under the auspices of the United Nations. In the country and the formation of a new government and presidential council. "

Political sources told Al-Arab that the large number of Interlocutors may spoil the political settlement in Libya, lead to intense competition between the various forces, and abort efforts to end foreign interference in the crisis and put it on the right path.

The Egyptian city of Hurghada, overlooking the Red Sea, hosts three-day meetings, starting from Sunday to Tuesday, under the auspices of the United Nations, and includes a number of soldiers belonging to the Libyan army in the east, and others belonging to the Government of National Accord in the west.

Observers fear that the intensity of the lights placed on the parallel conferences will lead to disruption of the moves towards a solution, and to cast negative shadows on the Geneva conference, and to make it convene merely to convene without obtaining guarantees that allow the implementation of its outcomes.

Al-Sharq al-Awsat: Heralds a new war between Azerbaijan and Armenia

Regarding the Armenian-Azerbaijani escalation, Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper said: “A new war arose between Azerbaijan and Armenia with the outbreak of violent clashes on the front line in the disputed Nagorno Karabakh region, in which soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded from both sides yesterday.

The two sides exchanged accusations of the start of hostilities, amid regional and international calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities. "

In a televised address to the people, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev pledged victory in the counter-attack on the Armenian forces. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan also pledged victory, and told his country's parliament that Yerevan intends to consider the issue of recognizing the independence of the "Karabakh Republic", calling on the international community to Turkey was prevented from interfering in the conflict, and Azerbaijan, Armenia, and the Nagorno Karabakh region declared martial law and general mobilization.
