Syrian
Cease-Fire? Nine Simple Questions.

The cease fire should be very welcome news for
millions of ordinary Syrians suffering from Western
sponsored terrorist aggression, but closer
examination of this and other relevant documents
unfortunately created serious doubt about intentions
and effectiveness of the agreement in achieving its
goals.
Not going into
many details of the agreement , linked below, I am
asking some fundamental questions that have to be
answered if we have to take the agreement for more
that just meaningless illusion of peace, something
that exhausted Syrian nation does not want or need.
- Why
Russia supported UN Security Council Resolution
2254, adopted unanimously December 18, 2015
without clarifying legal status of NATO military
operations in Syria under Syrian Law? On what
legal basis US, French, British or Oman are
bombing Syria?
- Why
Russians or Iranians did not insist on
clarification of legal basis under which Israel
is bombing Syria and attacking Assad government
in violation of UN charter?
- Why in
UNSCR 2254 and in the Cease Fire Agreement,
Russians or Iranians did not insist on
clarification of legal status of Turkish
aggression in Syria including shooting down
lawfully operating Russian military airplane
shelling Syrian territory or occupation of 1-2
mile wide sliver of of Syrian land along border?
- Why in
the UNSCR 2254 and in the Cease Fire Agreement,
Russians and/or Iranians did not call for
withdrawal of unauthorized by Assad regime
foreign military, including US troops from
Syrian Kurdistan?
- Why in
the UNSCR 2254 and in the Cease Fire Agreement,
Russians and/or Iranians did not insist on
explicit prohibition of introduction of any
unauthorized by Syrian
government foreign military forces on Syrian
territory as a matter of confirmation of Syrian
sovereignty and territorial integrity as UN
charter requires.
- Why in
the UNSCR 2254 and in the Cease fire Agreement,
Russians and/or Iranians did not insist that no
cease fire will be in effect for all those yet
undefined “ moderate opposition groups” who have
in their ranks foreign mercenaries, non-Syrian
citizen, and why expulsion of such has not been
required as a precondition to cease fire.
- Why
Russians and/or Iranians did not insist
on finalizing a list of terrorists organization
excluded from the Cease fire Agreement before
any cease fire implementation may begin since
this political/technical issue make the
Agreement unenforceable.
- Why
Russians and/or Syrians did not insist on
inclusion of Syrian Kurds in the negotiation, a
vital force fighting terrorists.
- Should
we understand that by signing the UNSCR 2254 and
the Cease Fire Agreement Russia legalized NATO
aggression against Assad if not why NATO
aggression was not prohibited in the agreement
although illegality of any aggression is a vital
part of UN charter?
If this
conclusion is true then the agreement is an illegal
act, against UN charter and international law since
the only legal representative government of Syria is
the representative of Assad regime and the UNCR 2254
is not aimed against Assad regime and hence UNSC
cannot infringe on Syrian sovereignty.
In fact
quick read of the “agreement” make me realize that
it is a meaningless, unenforceable on the ground in
Syria, piece of paper that actually allows SAA to
move against ISIL and seal Turkish border North of
Aleppo but also allows the west preparation for plan
B i.e invasion of Syria. However, what it would
surely do is to it provide fertile ground for
western accusation of Russian/Syrians breaking the
agreement we are so familiar with.
In fact it
looks like that critical and so far successful SAA
offensive in Idlib falls under the Cease Fire
Agreement giving western propaganda a field day.
Thank goodness the agreement to be implemented only
upon specific local field commanders’ decisions
reaching cease-fire along specific segments of the
frontlines so it can take months.
But
I already see those headlines: “NATO invasion
inevitable since those barbaric Russians, breaking
all the agreements and still killing all those
unborn children”.
This whole
fake agreement dangerously sets up Russians for
propaganda ambush in million ways and inevitably
leads to smuggling of western weaponry hidden inside
humanitarian convoys and clandestine evacuation, or
reinforcement of ANF and ISIL, true goal of the US
in Munich.
Don’t you
think that US and allies gave up on invasion by US
and Turkey/Saudi. They play for time to rescue they
terrorist brothers, while Russians want to
deescalate tensions with Turkey they fueled among
their population by media reports of preparations
for the war.
Scared of
empty Turkish and Saudi declarations of invasion?
So why
Russia is bending backwards for the west knowing
their cunning ways?
It did not
work in Ukraine and will not work in Syria. Period.
