There is also another interesting quote.

"Muslim noted that they had talked with the Russian and Syrian officials many times and tried to reach an agreement before. He said that this agreement, a first of its kind, also includes the liberation of Afrin. “Russia and the regime did not accept an agreement before the withdrawal of US troops. But now they have accepted it. This is a first and talks will continue. One of the major points of this agreement is its inclusion of Afrin. Once security is maintained in the area, there will be a collaboration for the liberation of Afrin as well.”"

This confirms what we have said since a long time: the PYD/YPG leadership was always willing to strike a deal with the Assad regime (not just now when Turkey invades in the North East). It didn't happen because Assad/Putin saw no purpose in such a deal.

Furthermore it is bizarre that the PYD leader puts any trusts in "guarantees" by Putin. Obviously he has learned nothing from his experience with the U.S. "guarantees". But may be Russia is more trustworthy than the U.S.?!

However, the PYD leadership can feel relieved that Trump strongly supports their alliance with Assad. As he said in a tweet on 14 October: “Anyone who wants to assist Syria in protecting the Kurds is good with me, whether it is Russia, China, or Napoleon Bonaparte (!). I hope they all do great, we are 7,000 miles away. (…) Let Syria and Assad protect the Kurds and fight Turkey for their own land.”

'Muslim pointed out that the agreement is a military one and a first step, 
adding; “This step will be followed by dialogue and talks to complete the 
entire content. The outlines of the agreement are as follows; the border 
security, actually the sovereignty of Syria as a state has been violated. The 
border needs to be protected together in order for Syrian sovereignty to be 
preserved. To this end, Syrian troops will be stationed in the area from Derik 
to the Euphrates and they will raise the Syrian flag. Syrian soldiers will not 
be deployed inside the cities but in some areas out of the towns. The works of 
the Democratic Autonomous Administration will not be intervened. The councils 
here will continue their works as usual.”'
