SYRIA’S MAP TURNS GREEN The revelation of the terms of the agreement signed between the Syrian government and the SDF has turned the entire map of Syria green. The entirety of Syria will now be governed by the Syrian government forces united under one roof. Seen as a historic development, the agreement has made major waves in the global press. Particularly, the American media highlighted the developments stemming from Turkey’s counter-terrorism operation. “A NEW ERA IS BEGINNING IN SYRIA” The New York Times underscored in its report announcing the terms of the agreement that a new era is beginning in Syria.
