The United States brought down regime, and Russia had saved his ally Assad. Now begins the action of destroying ISIL

Have the United States and Russia finally found a common position on Syria and agreed on the departure of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power in order to end a bloody four-year war in the country and in order, in the event that Assad's army suffers defeat, prevent that in control of Syria come militants of the so-called Islamic states and radical insurgents linked to Al-Qa'ida?

Together against ISIL

Although it was long speculated that the two biggest Assad's allies, Russia and Iran, have changed their policy towards Syria and turned their back at him, because they at all costs want to stop the war and the spread of ISIL which has become a threat to the entire world, the German Bild has published a story that the West also made a major shift in policy towards Syria. It said Russia and the US have agreed on the joint fight against ISIL and the necessary of Assad's departure, who would in all likelihood by the end of the year should leave with his family and senior associates to Russia, where they will receive political asylum. How much these allegations are true, it wll be soon found out.
Assad recently announced his address in which he will state his position on the future of Syria, which many analysts in the Middle East as his announcement of his retirement from the position of the president of Syria. It is becoming evident that the US and Russia have reached an agreement in principle to take all measures, including the departure of Assad, to the end of this year found as a peaceful solution to the war in Syria. This is the only way to defeat the terrorists of so-called Islamic State, considers a Lebanese journalist and political analyst Hicham Alaywan noting that Islamic countries are every day more stronger despite the coalition attacks, which is why the US was forced to rely on Russia and engage it in combat against ISIL, and Russia accepted it because victory of ISIL in Syria represents a major threat to the Kremlin due to the fact that a large number of members of the ISIL come from the Russian Federation.

- According to our information, Russia and the US have already reached agreement that Syria needs a transitional government with the participation of all but ISIL - said Hicham adding that, after the departure of the Assad's government, elections under the international control will be organized, what was accepted by Iran, Assad's main ally.
Weapons that Russia recently sent to Syria were sent only as a reinforcement of the Syrian army in the fight against the Islamic state because its defeat would be fatal for the entire region, believes Alaywan. On the other hand, Iranian journalist Hakam Amhaz believes in the survival of the Assad government and claims that all these theories amount only to Western's media speculation and lies.

- Iran and Russia will never turn backs on Assad, moreover, we have witnessed lately sending weapons and Russian soldiers to Syria, and this has two aims. The first is the fight against terrorism of ISIL and the other keeping the back of ally Assad who is the only honest in the fight against terrorists - said Hakam noting that Iran has never betrayed his allies and certainly will not now.

The provisional government to Sunnis

Arab media claims that Russia has turned it's to back Syrian President, as was evidenced by the departure to Moscow delegation led by Khaled Khoja, President of the Syrian National Council, that is the political leader of the rebels who met with senior Russian officials, including Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov. At that meeting, agreement was reached on the appointment of a new head of the Syrian intelligence services, which is one of the key functions that influence the survival of the Assad government.
John Kerry and Sergei Lavrov agreed that this place is to take by a neutral person, retired General Mustafa Tlass, a former defense minister and military chief of the armed forces of Syria, from among the Sunni majority, who would later take the position of president of the transitional government. It is known that at the beginning of the civil war in Syria Tlass had disagreed with Assad, but has not accepted any of the ideology of Islamist rebels and decided to live in France.
