"The two countries are competing to attract the attention of the Kurds," the London-based Levnat newspaper wrote in an analysis of the ambiguous state of relations between the Syrian Kurds and the United States and Russia as two superpowers involved in the Syrian crisis.
"Russia has not been idle, and senior Russian officials and diplomats are once again trying to use the Kurdish card to oust the Kurds," it said, noting that the United States has supported talks with main Kurdish parties in Syria over the past year to unite the Syrian Kurds.
The London-based newspaper noted that Russia had left the Syrian Kurds alone in the face of Turkish aggression, and that the United States gave Turkey the green light last year to invade a Kurdish-controlled area. The Syrian Kurds have experienced the betrayal of the two superpowers.
Referring to US logistical and military support for Syrian Kurdish forces since 2014, the paper described the Syrian Kurds' relationship with the United States as more strategic than their relationship with Moscow.
The paper considers the main problem of the Syrian Kurds' relationship with the two superpowers to be the ambiguity in the country's vision and plan for the future of the Kurds in Syria, because according to this paper, neither the United States nor Russia has a specific vision and plan for the future of Syrian Kurds. “This has made it more difficult for the Syrian Kurds to choose an ally.”
