Putin said: “The treaty between Syria and Turkey of the year 1998 is still valid. And it deals, in particular, with the fight against terrorism. I think that this is the base that closes many issues in terms of ensuring Turkey’s security on its southern borders. Today we have been discussing this issue quite thoroughly, fully and actively.”

Cavosuglu said “We think he referred to this [protocol] implying that Turkey can intervene in [Syria]. And this is positive for us,”

Today it’s being reported that Lavrov said: 1998 Adana pact could solve Turkey-Syria issues 

The Adana agreement of 1998 was concluded between Turkey and Syria, its essence is to eliminate Turkey’s concerns about its security,” said Lavrov.

The Syrian regime Lavrov “entered into this agreement, assuming certain obligations, and we proceed from the assumption that this agreement remains in force. As I understand, so do the state parties to the agreement,” he added.

From those three statements it’s safe to surmise that Turkey and Syria are committed to the 1998 agreement. And Russia is encouraging the commitment.  
Quite frankly, it is improbable that Putin and Lavrov would be using the language in their statements if the agreement was null and void.

The Foreign Ministry Issued an interesting statement as well
via sana

Pay attention to what was written and how it was written..
The statement is talking about two issues

“Thus, Syria stresses that activation of the agreement can be done by making the situation on the borders the way it used to be before between the two countries and when the Turkish regime abides by the agreement and stops supporting, financing, arming and training terrorists and when it withdraws its military forces from the Syrian territories they are occupying, so that the two countries can activate this agreement, which ensures safety and security of borders between them,” the source clarified.

“Making the situation on the borders the way it used to be between the two countries”

That’s vague. How many ways can that be interpreted?
I can think of at least two:
*Turkey exits Syria
*Turkey assists Syria in restoring the border areas to the way they used to be between the two countries. Which would include, by necessity, the removal of PKK/YPG.

Then the second part of the statement paraphrased

Turkish regime withdraws rebels and removes itself from Syria..etc.,

Considering the ambiguity inherent in the first part of the statement how to interpret what follows after the “and”
If the first part of the statement is interpreted as Turkey assists Syria in restoring the border areas to the way they used to be then the second part will fall into place?
Is that what the Syrian Foreign Ministry is stating? I don’t know. It’s not at all clear.
What seems clear to me is that Putin, Lavrov and the Turkish leadership understand the agreement is still in place. And Lavrov is stating, plainly, that Syria/Damascus is in agreement

In my opinion, based on a whole lot of research over the nearly 8 years (as of 2019) of covering the Syrian destabilization Ankara and Damascus have maintained contact. I’ve reports here of meetings taking place. Phone calls. And curious simultaneous movements Surely Russia’s involvement with both parties makes clear there is and has been contact ongoing.

March 24/2016 this report was published

Was Syria Cooperating Militarily With Turkey Against The PKK? I Would Say YES

Included were reports that in 09/ Syria and Turkey were jointly rounding up PKK terrorists in a number of Syrian cities.

“400 PKK members were arrested in the Syrian cities of Aleppo, Kamishli, Afrin, al-Hasaka and Ar-Raqqa and 11 PKK fighters were killed in joint Turkish-Syrian operations at the end of June 2010 (ANA, July 1).  In addition, sanctions were taken against Kurdish families supporting the PKK. The New York Times described this as a sign of growing Syrian cooperation with Turkey (July 1). “

 With the benefit of hindsight… it seems to me that this joint round up of PKK was a move to impede the destabilization of Syria.  The US was forced to bring  more of the PKK in through Iraq. Which they did, for one, under the guise of saving Yazidi’s from genocide…

I also didn’t get a mountain rescue vibe from the pictures. In fact I didn’t get a rescue vibe- period So, I have some serious doubts about the Yazidi/Sinjar mountain/genocide story

What seems more plausible under cover of a genocide narrative?

 -We do know that the US dropped quite an amount of ‘humanitarian aid’ One drop had contained:

 The U.S. Defence Department said planes dropped 72 bundles of supplies, including 8,000 ready-to-eat meals and thousands of gallons of drinking water, for threatened civilians near Sinjar.

 “The first UK aid drop took place over Mount Sinjar last night, with the RAF delivering bundles that included 1,200 reusable water containers providing 6,000 litres in total and 240 solar lanterns that can also be used to recharge mobile phones.

Based on the information at hand, I suspect these ISIS troops are prepping for a push into Syria. And they will have air cover thanks to the USA

Way back in 2014… We were supposed to believe the “Yazidi” fled into the Sinjar mountains..
But even then I was certain it was ISIS in the mountains. Later, I came to realize the Kurds and ISIS were one and the same. They were supplied by the US, France and Britain…. and invaded Syria. And so it continues on today…
