DAMASCUS Marlon Mack Jersey , May 5 (Xinhua) -- The establishment of the agreed safe zones, or de-escalation zones, in Syria could be the most concrete step toward resolving the long-lasting conflict in the war-torn country, analysts said.
The idea of creating safe zones in Syria has for long been floated by Turkey, a main backer to the Syria rebels, and it has also been brought up by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Throughout the recent months Tarell Basham Jersey , and the Turkish and U.S. remarks on the safe zones creation, the Syrian government couldn't hide its rejection to the idea.
But Russia, a main ally to Damascus, wasn't completely against the idea, particularly as some officials in Moscow previously spoke of the possible federalization of Syria as a way to resolve the crisis.
Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister Quincy Wilson Jersey , commented on the remarks of Trump about imposing safe zones in Syria, saying if the idea was for helping the Syrian refugees, it could happen, but after the consent of Damascus.
All in all, Damascus wasn't okay with both the idea of federalization and safe zones, until recently.
During the forth round of talks between the Syrian government and rebels in Astana Malik Hooker Jersey , Russia made a proposal for creating what it called as "de-escalation zones" in Syria.
Observers believe that the de-escalation zones are actually safe zones, but the change in the wording came possibly to allay the fears, or worries, of Damascus.
But for the administration of President Bashar al-Assad, Russia's involvement in any deal is trusted.
And for the over six-year-old conflict to end, such zones were deemed important to put down the confrontation between the Syrian army and the foreign-backed rebels Tyquan Lewis Jersey , who are not considered as terrorist groups by the international community.
