Oddly enough the focus continues to be on Turkey's alleged control of Syria's oil fields. While America's very major role flies under the radar. Such an Israeli/Empire friendly point of view.
US controls major Syrian oil field, report says
Syrian Oil Minister Bassam Toma’a has revealed that around 90 per cent of Syrian oil is under the control of US forces, Aram News Network reported on Friday.
“The Americans and their followers are acting like pirates as they are targeting the Syrian oil wealth and oil supplies,” the Syrian regime minister asserted.
Could someone please enlighten the so called alternative media? MoA. Saker. And the like. Admittedly I've not read either site for a while, but, when I had some time ago.. these uncomfortable truths were never mentioned. Southfront is another place I've long ago given up on.
The minister added: “There is a promising future for the oil industry in the [Syrian] waters. We need tranquillity and stable logistic circumstances.”
He stated that the total direct and indirect losses of the Syrian oil sector had exceeded $92 billion, noting that what happened in Syria has never previously occurred regarding the exploitation of wealth and supplies.
It is worth noting that the oil ministry of the Bashar Al-Assad regime has signed contracts with the Russian oil firm Capital to explore oil off Tartus governorate’s coasts with an area of 2,250 km2.

Assad's "Four Seas Strategy" Damascus converges with China
Since 2009, Bashar al-Assad has been promoting a"Four Seas Strategy"to turn Damascus into a trade hub among the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Persian Gulf/Arabian Sea and the Caspian Sea.
Aligning Syria with countries that lie on these shores—Turkey, Iran, and Azerbaijan(The Weekly Middle East Reporter, August 1, 2009)—Assad peddled this idea in May 2009 with Turkey, stating that “Once the economic space between Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran become integrated, we would link the Mediterranean, Caspian, Black Sea, and the [Persian] Gulf … we aren’t just important in the Middle East…Once we link these four seas, we become the compulsory intersection of the whole world in investment, transport and more.”
Do you get why the Armenian situation was fraught with disinfo at the level it was? By the same alt media sites already mentioned. This is why the US allied PKK Kurds are the perfect foil for the re ordering/reshaping of the region. Destroy 4 nations and participate in targeting Azerbaijan.
