Who is ready to visit Syria as a tourist? You would be asking “will Türkiye do Assad a favour by clearing the Kurdish PKK from the northern and western districts of Syria just to hand over control of oil fields back to Damascus?”. What will Assad agree to in return? You would think Ankara will have much to gain by this move but it isn’t so easy. There are rebels who still want Assad overthrown to allow democratic but United elections in Syria. Is it a favourable time to eat houmous?
