Apparently it didn't

Turkish officers have called back the fighters of the #SNA and the fighters withdrawed after inflicting damage on regime and Russia. Most likely this was a show of force from

as the later does threaten Turkish national security by bombing Idlib.

If this continues, the Syrian war may enter a new era

Meanwhile the head of the Guidance Consullors of the Syrian Nation Army #SNA is welcoming Erdogan's message and a Turkish military operation into Idlib to secure the civilians. He accuses western states of being bandits. I think there is much frustration. Not without a reason

نرحب بأي عملية عسكرية تركية من شأنها أن تصب في صالح حماية السوريين والحد من الانتهاكات بحقهم ونناشد الدولة التركية حكومة وجيشاً بقلب الطاولة على المعتدين ودعم الثوار السوريين بأسباب الصمود والثبات وليكن الجيش التركي جيش الإنسانية في زمن تحولت فيه الدول الغربية لشركات لصوصية twitter.com/aa_arabic/stat

I remember my discussion with the commander of #HTS who wasnin charge over the assault on Nureddin Zengi. He claimed that they made a pact with Russia and would hand over western Aleppo. Today, the same fighters are returning to defend the same area from which HTS expelled them.

A year ago, #HTS extremists have crushed the Syrian opposition in western #Aleppo and forced the local fighters to flee to Afrin. Now, the fighters of Nureddin Zengi, 9th Division, Thuwwar al Sham and local fighters from Atarib are returning to defend their hometowns.

I am offline these days, but judging on the speech of Erdogan, thr Turkish government is gonna take military measures to prevent a humanitarian disaster in Idlib. I wrote that a security corridor is necessary on August 20, 2019:

This weeks column for @TheNewTurkey in which I argue that after the loss of all four options for the observation points in #Idlib, a new #Turkish approach is needed for Idlib which should start with reaching an evacuation deal to secure trapped soldiers. thenewturkey.org/after-raids-ag

After earthqake in Elazig district #Turkey organized in few hours an airbridge operation with at least 5 A-400M to help victims and population. Impressive, there are not so many countries that have capacities to do that dailysabah.com/turkey/2019/12

The only option to prevent a humanitarian disaster & a new massive refugee flow to Turkey & Europe is the establishment of a security corridor along the Turkish-Syrian border. If this zone is being supported, it could safe millions of civilians & enable Syrians to stay in Syria.

#Turkey could theoretically pressure #Russia by equating the #Russian arguments for #Idlib and #HTS to the situation of the #YPG, but this is been restricted by the #US and the #EuropeanUnion who would show the interest it does not show for #Idlib.

The military balance of power could be changed theoretically by sending air-defense systems or sophisticated weapons to Idlib but there is no willingness to do so. Another option could be a direct Turkish intervention but this is being restricted by the Russian air superiority.

There is a visible increase of #Turkish arms supplies of ATGMs, Grad missiles and ammunition to the #Syrian opposition in #Idlib BUT this is only increasing the cost for the #Assad regime and #Russia which they seem ready to pay. It does not change the ultimate outcome.

What are the options to prevent 2 million possible #refugees and putting 3,3 million civilians into danger of being killed by regime forces and #Russian airpower? I personally see many, but only one may be realistic: -> Establishing a security corridor for civilians in #Idlib.

The #Assad regime has relaunched it's military campaign into Idlib. The war of attrition has already been decided. #Russia-backed regime forces are way superior to the Syrian opposition in #Idlib. Without a significant and strong change, the fate of Idlib will be a disaster.
