6:02 am
indicated they may be willing to normalize relations with the syrian government in october president assad gave his first interview to a gulf based newspaper since twenty eleven he told the kuwaiti paper that western and arab delegations had already begun work to resume diplomatic and economic ties just a week earlier bahrain's foreign minister surprised observers by embracing his syrian counterpart. on the sidelines of a un general assembly meeting in new york and even neighboring israel has taken steps towards improving relations with the assad regime its connector crossing in the occupied golan heights was partially reopened in mid october under russian military supervision jordan also reopened the us of crossing into syria that same month not to hashimi is the director of the center for middle east studies at the university of denver he says arab countries want to cut tail iran's influence in syria. well i think they're trying to perhaps woohoo assad
6:03 am
away from his alliance with iran. the number one priority for the assad regime today after crushing all opposition to his rule is economic reconstruction the west is not going to invest in that economic reconstruction but there are very wealthy arab states that do have the resources the financial resources and so i suspect part of the agenda here is to see whether they that whether you know bashar al assad can be influenced financially. with reconstruction aid in exchange for weakening his alliance with iran you know if it wasn't for iran's. participation in the horrific war in syria over the last you know seven years bashar al assad would not be alive today and he said he would be in power so you are on has a huge amount of influence i don't think at the end of the day that bashar assad will break his alliance with iran and switch sides but i think what's i think much
6:04 am
more fundamental and i think what's uniting bashar al assad with other. arab states in the region is that bashar al assad and other leaders of the arab states in the middle east share a common national security concern and that national security concern is fear of their own populations fear of democracy fear of political change so in that sense they have a very common sort of set of concerns that they that they're trying to fight and push back against. well the e.u. is warning turkey against taking any further military action in syria turkish president. has threatened to enter the northern city of mann bridge if the u.s. doesn't remove kurdish fighters turkey considers them to be terrorists but they have partnered with the u.s. in the fight against eisel e.u. foreign policy chief federica maharani said turkey shouldn't undermine the u.s.
