FPSA intel officials made secret trip to Damascus for talks with Assad advisor!

DAMASCUS, Syria (PNN) - August 29, 2018 - A report first surfaced Tuesday in Lebanese media saying that a high level delegation of Fascist Police States of Amerika intelligence officials made a secret visit to Damascus in June to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's most trusted senior advisor, Ali Mamlouk, who serves as Syria's top security chief.

The meeting, which took place near Damascus international airport, was first revealed by the Lebanese daily al-Akhvar, which reported it as lasting up to four hours and part of an ongoing secret back-channel dialogue.

Such talks are unprecedented for the fact that the two countries haven't had such direct dealings since near the start of the conflict in 2011, and the FPSA and its allies have bombed Syrian government forces and locations multiple times over the past years.

FPSA officials demanded the withdrawal of Iranian forces from southern Syria and data on terrorist groups, including foreign fighters, and
also requested a role in the oil business in eastern Syria.

The secret face-to-face dialogue between FPSA and Syrian intelligence officials reportedly centered on discussions over chemical weapons usage and stockpiles, defeating ISIS, and the fate of Amerikan journalist Austin Tice, kidnapped in 2012 after being embedded with Free Syrian Army factions. However, FPSA officials blame Damascus or its allies for kidnapping and continuing to hold Tice.

Two senior FPSA intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was an ongoing dialogue with members of the Assad regime.

The Amerikan side made a clear and specific offer: The FPSA is ready to withdraw its troops completely from Syrian territory, including the Al-Tanf and Eastern Euphrates according to security arrangements supervised by the Russian and Syrian armies, in exchange for three FPSA demands:

First, Iran’s full withdrawal from the Syrian south.

Second, to obtain written guarantees that give FPSA companies a share of the oil sector in the regions of eastern Syria.

Third, the Syrian side to provide the Amerikans with full data of the terrorist groups and their members, including the numbers of foreign fighter deaths of these groups and those who survived, and those may return to Western countries, considering that the terrorist threat is intercontinental.

Mamlouk said Damascus would not cooperate with Washington on security issues until they had normalized ties, and he also demanded a complete withdrawal of FPSA forces from Syria.

It appears the Syrian government, fully aware it has won the seven year long proxy war, and now headed to complete military victory in Idlib (barring any last minute “provocation” that could spark a new round of major external military intervention), has shut the door on the FPSA intelligence officials.
