MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - November 2, 2019 - The agreement signed between Russia and Turkey for a new security plan in northeast Syria was certainly historic and a much welcome potential path towards stability and peace.
On October 22, 2019, Russia and Turkey signed a memorandum on safe-zones in Syria, putting an end to the Turkish offensive in Northern Syria against Kurdish forces and restoring Syrian government control over a large portion of the border with Turkey.
The deal was welcomed by the government in Damascus and by the Kurds.
