In a new attempt to invest any Syrian-Turkish meeting in the Turkish presidential elections scheduled for mid-May, the Turkish Ministry of Defense issued a statement following the meeting of the defense ministers of Syria, Russia, Iran and Turkey, in which it indicated that the meeting discussed concrete steps related to the normalization of relations between Turkey and Syria, which it denied. An informed source confirmed, in contact with Al-Watan, that “the statement of the Turkish Ministry of Defense, which spoke of concrete steps related to the normalization of relations between Turkey and Syria, is not true, and what happened in the meeting between the defense ministers of Syria, Turkey, Russia and Iran was to discuss the mechanism for the withdrawal of Turkish forces.” From the Syrian lands, and the meeting did not address any normalization steps between the two countries.
The source pointed out that normalization or the normal relationship between Turkey and Syria means the withdrawal of Turkish forces from the Syrian lands, and without withdrawal, normal relations will not be established, and he added: The withdrawal is the first issue that must be resolved in the talks of the normalization process.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense revealed the details of what happened in the Moscow quadripartite meeting yesterday, and said: “The issue of the withdrawal of Turkish forces from Syrian territory was discussed, as well as the implementation of the agreement on the international road known as the M4 road.”
And the Turkish Ministry of Defense said: “The quartet meeting between Turkey, Russia, Syria and Iran discussed concrete steps related to the normalization of relations between Turkey and Syria, and indicated that “the issue of intensifying efforts to return Syrian refugees to their country, as well as the issue of combating all terrorist and extremist groups in all their forms, was discussed in Syrian lands.
In turn, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced in a statement that during the quartet meeting, “particular attention was paid to issues of confronting all manifestations of terrorist threats, and combating all extremist groups in Syria.”
“After the talks, the two sides renewed their desire to preserve Syria’s territorial integrity and the need to intensify efforts for the speedy return of Syrian refugees to their homeland,” the statement added.
According to the statement, the defense ministers stressed the constructive nature of the ongoing dialogue in this way and the need to continue it in order to increase the stability of the situation in Syria and the entire region.

“Mass Graves Discovered in Kenyan Forest Linked to Cult-Like Church”
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2023-04-26 14:28:21
Detectives and forensic experts began examining the site on Friday.
In the middle of a forest, not far from the Kenyan coast, piles of fresh soil topped with crucifixes attract the attention of forensic experts.
About 14 mass graves have been dug up so far and Hussein Khalid has watched the exhumation of dozens of bodies over the past four days.
“The stench is unbearable,” he told the BBC.
The victims were believed to be members of the Good News International Church. They would have been persuaded to starve themselves in order to reach paradise before what they had been told was the end of the world.
Mr Khalid heads the rights organization Haki Africa, which took authorities to the burial site late last week following being told by locals.
The location is “quite hidden” in the Shakahola Forest and he explains that he and his team had to cut shrubs and bushes to get there by car.
Some 89 bodies have been exhumed so far, but the final tally might be much higher as the Red Cross said 112 people were missing. Mr Khalid estimates that there are around 60 mass graves in the area and that only a quarter of them have been examined.
According to the police, 29 survivors have been found so far, but it seems that not all of them wanted to be rescued, so convinced were they of what they had been told regarding the end of the world.
On Sunday, Mr. Khalid passed by an “extremely frail” woman in her twenties, with hollow eyes. But she didn’t want anyone to help her.
“When we tried to give her first aid by giving her sips of water and glucose from a spoon, she flatly refused. She closed her mouth to say she didn’t want to ‘help,” Mr Khalid said, adding that the woman is now being treated in hospital.
He also met a man in his forties who was able to express himself.
“He said he didn’t need rescuing, he was sane, he knew what he was doing and he had to be left alone. He even called us a jerk. ‘enemies to go to heaven’.
This man was also taken to hospital.
Victor Kaudo of the Malindi Community Human Rights Centre, which is assisting in the exhumation of the bodies, believes there are around 150 bodies. He explains that his organization was contacted by a whistleblower who wanted help in saving his three children.
“We only saved one, which we found in a house, tied with a rope,” he told the BBC.
“We think this child was six years old. But his sister and brother were already dead and they had been buried the day before, before we arrived.
It is feared that more bodies will be discovered.
Beyond the forest itself, the population is shocked by the fact that dozens of people were able to voluntarily starve to death.
Kenya is a deeply religious country, with 85% of its population declaring themselves Christian.
President William Ruto, who is himself a pious man, described the head of the Good News International Church, Pastor Makenzie Nthenge, as someone who did not belong “to any religion”.
Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki called what happened a “massacre”.
Last month, Mr Nthenge was charged over the deaths of two children whose parents had joined his church. He was released on bail, but is back in custody.
Senate President Amason Kingi asked how “an evil of such staggering magnitude [pouvait] happen undetected”.
The question also arises as to why a person would starve himself.
Theologian and psychologist James Kipsang Barngetuny told the BBC there is a problem in Kenya with the “proliferation” of large numbers of small churches, which are not properly regulated.
According to him, unscrupulous leaders are able to brainwash people and take advantage of their desire to find a solution to their problems.
Back in the forest, Mr. Khalid learned that there was a deeper place where people gathered to pray and he urged the authorities to step up search and rescue operations in the forest, which spans 325 hectares.
Locals are beginning to visit graves to inform authorities of missing family members.
A man told Mr Khalid that his three sons, aged 21, 17 and 14, had been taken by his brother to join the church. He fears they are all dead.
