Participation in Wikistrat's Discussion Forum: Pathways for Peace in Syria


From December 20th 2016 and until January 6th 2017 I had the chance to actively participate in a discussion forum hosted and organised by the exclusive crowdsourced consulting firm unique in its style, WIKISTRAT, called Pathways for Peace in Syria, where through a long, exciting and hot debated discussion many views and angles of the longstanding almost 7 years aged war in Syria and the potential ways for peace taking real time news feeds as per the basis of our daily basis discussions and red teaming. Perspectives like the underlying logic of gas and oil pipeline geopolitics, the role of Iran and Syria in the conflict and as potential peace brokers and winners of this conflict, the active role of Turkey and its interests and implications, the similarities with regional cases like Lebanon and possible ways to apply for a political solution in Syria were between the many options discussed through the duration of this discussion, which needs to be replicated in other interactive analytical platforms and follow this example set by WIKISTRAT, in which i have been participating as a Contributing Analyst for the Energy Security Desk, what has been a very enriching analytical and learning experience. 

I can only say thumbs up for this initiative and for the many WIKISTRAT has had since its inception since it is so far the best platform for interactive analysis on a wide array of current hot topics ranging from social issues, technological breakthroughs, geopolitics, oil and gas and energy, business new trends, and allows its analysts to keep on learning each day of participation in this platform.  Here i want to share the link to the complete discussion on Syria which ended yesterday:
