The PKK/YPG and Assad regime have reached an agreement to deliver the operational rights of two major dams in return for the supply of electricity and water
The Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) and its Syrian offshoot the People's Protection Units (YPG) have reached and agreement on delivering the control of Syria’s two major dams, Tabqa and Tishrin, to the Assad regime in exchange for the supply of electricity and water needs in areas occupied by the terror group.
The Tabqa Dam is the largest dam in Syria, and the Tishrin Dam is located on the Euphrates River. According to the deal, the Assad regime’s forces will permanently takeover the dams’ facilities.
The dams on the Euphrates River have the capacity to provide most of the electrical and water needs of the country.
Talks are still continuing for the control of oilfields located in the occupied Deir ez-Zor province near the border with Iraq.
The PKK/YPG terrorist group and the Assad regime had reached an agreement on sharing oil from the Al-Omar oilfield, one of the largest oilfields in Deir ez-Zor province in eastern Syria, on 2 June.
Last year, the PKK/YPG struck a deal for sharing the oil revenue from the Hasakah province, which is occupied by the terrorist group.
The U.S. backed PKK/YPG have occupied approximately 70 percent of the oil resources in Syria.
The terror group occupies one quarter of Syria, and captured three of the country’s biggest dams with military support from the U.S.
