"Arrangements before Astana"[/caption] The regions of northern Syria witnessed military movements of the Syrian army towards Manbij and Tal Rifaat, north of Aleppo, and the Aleppo-Latakia “M4” road in southern Idlib, according to local sources. This comes as a prelude to what will be agreed upon in the "Astana" round, where its meetings will begin today in the Kazakh capital, with the participation of Syria, Turkey, Russia and Iran. These military moves come within the framework of the ongoing arrangements to achieve normalization between Damascus and Ankara, which will include some joint economic steps and a solution to the refugee issue. It is possible that an agreement will be reached on the deployment of the Syrian army forces in Manbij and Tal Rifaat, in preparation for the expulsion of the "SDF" from the area. It is noteworthy that last week witnessed a Turkish escalation against the "SDF" by intensifying the activity of marches and artillery targets. This Syrian military move comes within the framework of Russia's attempts to achieve normalization between the two countries, according to leaks about the four-way negotiations that took place in Moscow in recent months. It seems that the twentieth round of the "Astana" track will witness important developments in the process of normalization between the two countries, and we will follow together the current developments in this file.
