  • Syrian refugees across Turkey jubilantly welcomed the downfall of Bashar Assad's government Sunday, with many embracing the chance to return to their homeland.

The article from MSN discusses the current geopolitical situation in Syria, focusing on Turkey's stance as the Syrian government faces opposition insurgents. Turkey has been actively involved in the Syrian conflict, initially supporting opposition groups to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. However, with the rise of various insurgent groups, including those with Islamist affiliations, Turkey's position has become more complex. The article highlights Turkey's concerns over Kurdish forces gaining power in northern Syria, which Turkey views as a threat due to its own Kurdish population and the PKK insurgency. Turkey has conducted military operations in Syria to prevent the establishment of a Kurdish autonomous region along its border. Additionally, Turkey has been navigating its relationship with Russia, a key ally of Assad, through diplomatic channels and military de-escalation agreements. The piece also touches on the humanitarian crisis, with millions of Syrian refugees in Turkey, influencing its policies towards Syria. The evolving situation has led Turkey to balance its strategic interests, security concerns, and humanitarian responsibilities amidst a shifting power dynamic in the region.
