This led to the necessity of creating 400,000 jobs annually, but the Syrian economy not fulfilled this task. As a result, hundreds of thousands of young people, many of whom later joined the various armed groups, were left without work<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Bashar Al-Assad: an alawite President between Sunni<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Bashar Al-Assad became President of Syria in 2000 and continued the role of his father, Hafez Al-Assad, who headed the country since 1970. Therefore, during the past 45 years, the country, with the majority of the population represented by Sunni Muslims, is controlled by a family of Alawites, followers of a few teachings derived from the Shi&#8217;a in the 9th century, although since then evolved into a religion almost autonomous that incorporates features of Christianity and some pre-Islamic cults.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">the Russian factor<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Moscow has traditionally maintained bilateral relations with Damascus. In 2005 Russia &#8216;forgave&#8217; Syria about 15,000 million of dollars that was the Soviet Union. Russia maintains the trade of weapons to Syria. All this effort the negative position of the West before the regime of Al-Assad. At the same time, the support of Russia has not the enemies of the Syrian leader openly support the rebels fighting against Damascus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00abRussia does not give any step without the consent of the authorities in Damascus, in contrast to countries which are bombing to Syria,\u00bb stressed the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mar\u00eda Zaj\u00e1rova in reference to the international coalition led by the United States and Saudi Arabia this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">an unstable neighbor<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The war in Iraq, launched by the intervention of the international coalition led by the United States, continues to claim the lives of hundreds thousands of people. Since then, has seen only a period of something like peace between 2008 and 2011. However, clashes between the West and supporters of Saddam Hussein became a war between Sunni and Shia. At the forefront of the Sunni forces there were fighters of the Islamic State, while Shiites were backed by military units made up of Kurdish rebels. The U.S. invasion of Iraq resulted in a flow of Shi&#8217;a to Syria, which caused the country a confessional imbalance which also jihadists will take advantage<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">the concerns of the Kurds<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Kurds are the largest ethnic minority in Syria. When he started the civil war in Syria they lived about 2.5 million Kurds. The Kurdish community, which is still much stronger than other participants of the war, took a position isolated from the first day of the conflict. For the moment, the Kurds control several important cities in the northeast of Syria border with the Iraqi territories, also occupied by representatives of their ethnicity. To be completely independent in the conflict part, Kurds are opposed both to President Al-Assad as the Islamic State, and they come gradually to the creation of their own State on the border between Syria and Iraq.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">9 Turkey and Ottoman ambitions<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">While the war in Syria caused a flow of refugees to Turkey and increased the danger of Kurdish separatism, Ankara is certainly interested in overthrow Bashar Al-Assad. The Syrian President has followed an independent policy without regard to its neighbor to the North. At the same time Turkey, a country where many still regard Syria as a former province of the Ottoman Empire, I would like to extend its influence in the Middle East. Before the destabilization of the situation in Syria, the two countries maintained rather friendly relations, but the start of the Arab spring and the civil war gave to Turkey hoping to make to decrease the influence of Damascus in the region. Ankara hopes to win with the regional leadership without participating in military conflicts on a large scale in Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8230;&#8230;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8230;&#8230;.. 10. a faithful ally<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Damascus is the most reliable ally of the ayatollahs in the Middle East. The Government of Al Assad allows Iran dilute the Sunni hegemony established in Istanbul to Yemen and North Africa to the Persian Gulf.
