Syria’s territories are witnessing historic changes. The Syrian Presidency announced that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have joined the Syrian Army. The statement noted that an agreement was reached for the SDF to join state institutions. News about the changing map of the Middle East and Turkey’s role following the historic agreement received wide coverage in the global press. A post from the Syrian Presidency disclosed that President Ahmed Sha and Ferhad Abdi Shahin signed an agreement emphasizing the unity of Syrian territories and rejecting division. According to the 8-point agreement, the Kurdish community will receive constitutional guarantees as part of Syria. Border crossings, oil, and gas fields will fall under Syrian state control. All threats to Syria’s security and unity will be addressed collectively. The terms of the ceasefire agreement were also shared with the world.

SYRIA’S MAP TURNS GREEN: Following the disclosure of the terms of the agreement signed between the Syrian government and the SDF, the map of Syria has turned completely green. All of Syria will now be governed by the Syrian government forces united under the same roof. The agreement, seen as a historic development, resonated strongly in the global press. In particular, the American media highlighted the developments resulting from Turkey’s anti-terrorism campaign.

“A NEW ERA BEGINS IN SYRIA”: The New York Times emphasized in its report announcing the terms of the agreement that a new era has begun in Syria. The NYT underscored that this development followed the disarmament call made by the PKK terrorist organization last week.

The newspaper once again referred to the comprehensive promises of the new leadership in Syria to create an inclusive government. The CNN news agency branded the development as a “historic agreement.” It was reported that the agreement will be implemented by the end of the year.
