There are recent statements indicating that Turkey and the Syrian Baath regime are changing their policies in order to restore their ties. The Syrian civil war is now in a deadlock in which neither side is able to achieve complete victory. Besides, in an environment in which foreign interventions directly gain military dimension, the Syrian civil war is almost no longer a proxy war. The region is under serious risk as regional and non-regional powers intervene by camouflaging their moves with international law. There is no longer any talk about a Syria under any authority. Instead they are talking about whether Syria will remain a livable country even if it is in one piece. This is a situation in which everyone has lost the civil war. It is now too late to talk about the point we are at because of the policies applied or “I told you so” comments being made. Yet, the articles written and the accusations made are still in the archives.
