 Changes have taken place in the Syrian areas occupied by the Turkish occupation state, following the spread of mercenaries of "Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham" (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra) in some occupied areas, especially in the parallel points of contact with the forces of the Manbij Military Council, in Afrin and Girê Spi canton.

 Public Turkish approval and Russian blessing

 Regarding the control of "Al-Nusra" mercenaries in some occupied Syrian areas, writer and journalist Djwar Agha explained that "This is taking place with the tacit and public approval of the Turkish side and blessing of Russia, which seeks to restore relations between Ankara and Damascus, so it makes concessions to Turkey to redeploy HTS in these areas and withdraw mercenaries who were fighting under the command of the so-called National Army or the opposition affiliated with Turkey in those areas.

 Building a new terrorist belt

And on the Turkish endeavor to integrate the mercenaries of “Jabhat Al-Sham” among its mercenaries, is to remove the label of “terrorism” from it. According to Agha, who explained that “this is Turkey’s main goal, in addition to fighting the project of the AANES, which is a major goal for it in this region. Giving the green light to Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham to spike in the occupied areas is to make a new body, but the strange thing is that these groups, whether they are Hayat Tahrir al-Sham or the Jabhat Al-Sham or  Ahrar al-Sham "call themselves al-Sham, which is in the south of the country, and they head to the north."

 Agha added, "The goal of the Turkish occupation state is to build a new terrorist belt in the northern Syrian regions in preparation for any future aggression."

 Preparing experienced forces to fight the SDF

Regarding the routine clashes between the mercenary groups and the recent handover and handover in some occupied areas, Agha said: “The infighting among on mercenaries is over the areas of control and influence.  Therefore, the Turkish occupation state decided that there should be central forces to confront the SDF in the event of any aggression in light of the constant threats and attacks by drones and shelling on northern and eastern Syria.

 And Agha said: "The goal is to equip experienced and capable forces in the face of the Syrian Democratic Forces in any future aggression."

 The new outbreak draws attention to a close confrontation

 Agha pointed out that "the spread of mercenary factions, especially Ahrar al-Sham, in the areas of direct contact in the countryside of Manbij and al-Bab draws attention to a possible confrontation, perhaps close or possible, towards northern and eastern Syria."

He pointed out, "Perhaps not giving the green light to Turkey to launch large-scale attacks on the region has prompted these factions to launch operations or clash with the SDF."

 What is the fate of Idlib?

 As for the situation and the fate of Idlib, Agha explained, "There is perhaps a semi-agreement on the issue of withdrawal and handover between these factions and the forces of the Damascus government. According to the agreement of Turkey and Russia, Russia will help Turkey in some other areas in exchange for the withdrawal of the Turkish forces and the withdrawal of the mercenary factions from some points in the area.  Idlib regions and handing them over to the Damascus government, and this is expected and is currently taking place in practice.”

 The Turkish occupation state seeks to abort the experience of the AANES

 Agha stressed that "the Turkish occupation state seeks to abort and eliminate the experience of the Autonomous Administration, so it allowed these terrorist factions to integrate to put them on the lines of contact with the SDF, which includes military councils for towns and cities, especially the Manbij Military Council."

 What is expected?

 Writer and journalist Djwar Agha added that "the events expected to happen near the end of this year are Turkey's efforts to create chaos in the region and launch an operation indirectly, perhaps through these mercenaries, seeking to occupy more  more land and the displacement of more people to put more pressure on the international community under the pretext of the issue of Syrian refugees and the establishment of safe zones in northern Syria.”

 Agha asked, "Where are the safe zone that Erdogan has been ranting about for years, in which 3 million Syrians live? The agreement between him and the Damascus government to return Syrian refugees to Syrian regions and hand them over to the regime. This is the reality of what is happening now on the scene."
