Aijaz Ahmad : West Changes Stand from ???Assad Must Go??? to ???Assad Must Go
but Not Now???

NewsClick
interviewed Professor Aijaz Ahmad on the resolution passed by the United
Nations, on Syrian peace. The country has been torn by wars since 2011. Aijaz
feels that peace talks are nothing but a step back into the past. The same
peace talks could have happened long back in 2012. He added that the U.N
resolution was expected to be signed in February or March but bringing it early
only reflects the worsening crisis. On the question of Bashar Al-Assad, Aijaz
explains that the resolution is a repetition of the same stands that the US and
its allies had regarding him, a year back. It???s just that the slogan has gone
from ???Assad Must Go??? to ???Assad Must Go but Not Now???. On Saudi strikes in Yemen,
he thinks that it is nothing else but an attempt to capture the territory and
reassert itself in the region. Turkey???s stand on Russia was also discussed in
the interview. Aijaz thinks that Turkey has failed miserably in both its
motives; capturing territory and keeping check on the Kurds. Now their only
desire is destruction of Russia
