According to Kurdpress, Reuters reported that the January 29 agreement between Damascus and the "Syrian Democratic Forces" (SDF) was reached with the aim of gradually integrating the areas under the control of the Kurds into the structure of the central government. According to this agreement, limited units of government forces have entered the cities of Qamishlo and Hasakeh, some SDF forces have withdrawn from the contact lines, and Damascus has appointed a regional governor nominated by the Kurds.

However, according to government and Kurdish officials, the key issues; Among other things, the exact integration of the SDF forces in the Ministry of Defense, the fate of the heavy weapons of these forces, and the status of the border crossing with Iraq, which is one of the vital arteries of the areas under the control of the Kurds, have not yet been resolved.

According to the text of the agreement, the Syrian Ministry of Defense is obliged to form a special division for the Northeast and integrate the SDF forces in the form of three brigades. It is also expected that 15 government security vehicles will be deployed in each of the cities of Qamishlo and Haskeh, and the process of integrating Kurdish security forces (Asayesh) into the Ministry of Interior will begin.

The recent developments are considered the biggest change in the control balance of Syrian regions since the ousting of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. The new government has now brought almost the entire country under central control, but the success of this process depends on how it manages ethnic and security sensitivities in the northeast.

All in all, although the scenario of gradual progress in the implementation of the agreement seems to be the most likely option, but according to analysts, the risk of miscalculations and a return to tension remains high; An issue that has turned the role of American pressure and advice to Damascus to show flexibility into a determining factor in the future path of this agreement).
