Jordan foreign minister, Assad discuss Syria refugees, drug smuggling "ConflictWatch Feed Iraq"

Amman Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Jordans top diplomat Ayman Safadi met Monday in Damascus and discussed war refugees and a crackdown on cross-border drug smuggling, Ammans foreign ministry said.

Safadis visit comes at a time of increasing regional engagement with the Assad regime, peaking with Damascuss return to the Arab League after years of isolation since Syrias war began in 2011.

The meeting focused on the issue of refugee returns and the necessary measures to facilitate the voluntary return of Syrian refugees from Jordan, the foreign ministry said in a statement.

Assad and Safadi also discussed humanitarian, security and political steps towards a comprehensive solution to Syrias crisis, it added.

Syria was suspended from the Arab League in 2011 over Assads brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protests which spiralled into a conflict that has killed more than 500,000 people and displaced millions.

In May, the pan-Arab body readmitted Damascus, despite no political settlement to the conflict in sight.

Arab states hope to find a solution for the millions of Syrian refugees living in neighbouring countries, including 1.3 million in Jordan.

Several Arab countries are also seeking increased security cooperation with Syria, which has turned into a narco-state with a roaring illegal trade in the stimulant drug captagon.

The Jordanian statement said Safadi discussed with Assad the dangers posed by drug smuggling across the Syrian border into the kingdom, and the need for cooperation to confront it.

During his visit, Jordans foreign minister also met with his Syrian counterpart, Faisal Mekdad.

The two discussed a joint committee to combat drug smuggling that would meet in Amman as soon as possible, the Jordanian foreign ministry said.

Jordanian security forces have tightened border controls in recent years and occasionally announce thwarted drugs and weapons smuggling attempts from Syria.

The Astana platform on Syria ended "ConflictWatch Feed Syria"

Syria is one of the most pressing concerns on the global diplomacy agenda, with Russia combining a successful peacekeeping role with focused diplomacy. Since the fall of 2015, it has been evident that the United States, its NATO allies, and the armed opposition organizations they were backing have failed to fulfill their primary goal of removing the unwanted administration of Bashar al-Assad and establishing control over the region. The fact that the true American plans have failed is due to Russia.

Initially, the entry of the Russian Aerospace Forces into Syria at the invitation of the official authorities in Damascus was greeted with alarm not only in the United States, Britain, and France but also in Turkey, Syrias neighbor. Recep Tayyip Erdoan, as you know, is trying to use the civil conflict in Syria to solve a number of urgent issues for Ankara. In particular, Turkey is attempting:

1) to suppress the fighting activity of Syrias Kurdish formations (Democratic Union Party, Peoples Self-Defense Units or National Defense Forces, the Syrian Democratic Forces), which receive external support from the US and other countries (particularly the United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland, and Israel);

2) to occupy Kurdish-populated provinces in northern Syria under the guise of enhancing border security in order to prevent any possibility of autonomy or the creation of another type of Kurdish statehood, which could negatively affect the situation in Turkey itself (especially in the southeast of the so-called Turkish Kurdistan);

3) to minimize the influx of Syrian refugees into the areas of Turkey bordering Syrian Arab Republic and to localize the negative consequences of their presence on Turkish territory;

4) to replace the Kurds in Syrias northern provinces with a Turkic population of indigenous Turkomen or (the Turkmen) connected to Turkey;

5) finally, through its active military and tr...
