The Syrian government has lately been dealing with a number of severe issues, ranging from the looting of its oil supplies by US forces, the violation of its territorial sovereignty by Turkey, widespread terrorism spearheaded by DAESH, frequent attacks from "Israel", as well as a series of economic sanctions imposed by the US and its allies. 

In the face of all of these burdens, the Syrian government still shows signs of resilience and persistence. 

Iran and Russia have both expressed a willingness to strengthen the Syrian state. But the negotiation processes are still weighted by conflicting geopolitical interests, especially from the Turkish side. 

The Iranian Tasnim News Agency reported on Saturday that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will potentially meet on the sidelines of the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit (SCO) in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

“Our region, which suffers from the scourge of war, destruction, terrorism, and epidemics, is subjected to systematic destruction targeting its history and human civilization. The right to life and self-determination must be safeguarded away from injustice, domination, and exploitation practiced by some forces and regimes that support terrorism and that do not value neither law nor humanitarian or moral principles," - Gen. Minister of Defense, Gen. Ali Mahmoud Abbas on August 16 at the Moscow Int’l Security Conference.
