Crack the Code!


While the spaces have been removed from this question, here are two hints. First, the plaintext is an article from The New York Times, published during March of 2016. The second hint is that the first word is "Syrian."

WARNING: This cryptogram contains at least one "fixed point". These are letters of plaintext that encrypt to themselves as ciphertext. (For example, J encrypts as J, or something like that.)

Strength of Hint: 362 out of 1000

Good luck!
