It also comes amid escalating violence across Syria which has cast serious doubts over al-Sharaa\u2019s ability to earn the trust of his people and govern. Steven Cook, the Eni Enrico Mattei senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Thanos Davelis to explore whether this deal is really a game changer for Syria and Syria\u2019s Kurds, and break down the roles of outside forces, particularly the US and Turkey, in this story.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazy lazy-hidden\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\" data-lazy-type=\"iframe\" data-src=\"https:\/\/player.simplecast.com\/558eeebd-1f04-4c5f-bb02-6a07bc31f795?dark=false\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<noscript><iframe height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/player.simplecast.com\/558eeebd-1f04-4c5f-bb02-6a07bc31f795?dark=false\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n        var NXFBPixelFunc = function () {\n            document.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n            setTimeout(function () {\n                !function (f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                    if (f.fbq) return;\n                    n = f.fbq = function () {\n                        n.callMethod ?\n                            n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments)\n                    };\n                    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                    n.push = n;\n                    n.loaded = !0;\n                    n.version = '2.0';\n                    n.queue = [];\n                    t = b.createElement(e);\n                    t.async = !0;\n                    t.src = v;\n                    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s)\n                }(window, document, 'script',\n                    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n                fbq('init', '109138906120213');\n                fbq('track', 'PageView');\n            }, 0)\n        };\n        document.addEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekathimerini.com\/multimedia\/podcasts\/1263968\/a-turning-point-for-syrias-kurds\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A deal signed earlier this week by Syria\u2019s interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, and the commander in chief of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazlum Kobane, is viewed by many as a turning point for Syria\u2019s Kurds.
