Turkey announced a meeting in August that will be a trilateral summit between Ankara, Tehran and Moscow. This is the latest in numerous meetings the three countries have had on Syria that began with a ceasefire in 2016. It also reflects growing influence for Russia and its ability to try to keep the Syrian crises from escalating while working closely with Turkey on military deals.
There are also numerous extremist fighters in Idlib, many linked to Al-Qaeda. A US airstrike on June 30 targeted Al Qaeda in northern Syria. Turkey has been backing the Syrian rebels for years, but since 2016 it has played an increasing role in Syria, eventually taking over Afrin and setting up observation points in Idlib. Syrian regime forces and Turkish forces have recently exchanged fire near an observation point, leading to concerns there could be a wider war. The latest summit was announced by Turkish Presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin and it is supposed to focus on tensions in Idlib, where Turkish backed Free Syrian Army rebels have been facing off against the Syrian regime.

Axis of evil. Russia has been working hard to gain influence in the ME. It is what they do....worldwide.
bttt
An initial conference on partitioning Syria, looks like.
Why should Russia not seek influence in their near abroad? Why, especially, is that “evil”?

Thanks Roman_War_Criminal. BTW, US sanctions on Iran are going to be exploited by Putin and Erdogan, and maybe Assad, but this isn't going to end with a campfire singalong.
Wait till the lowlife Putin puffers see this...lol
Without the United States being involved that's impossible...US proxies control one third of the country.
Does Syria have enough oil to be worth all this? Oil ain’t what it used to be (look at Venezuela).
Good god, the ME is hell on earth? Why fight over it?
To be honest, I don’t think Putin was as troubling as he could have been in Syria. He pretty much backed off.
Talks between Turkey, Iran, and Russia certainly aren’t thrilling to see. We’ll have to see what comes of it.
Anything with Iran tied in, is a negative > IMO.
That’s the part that I see as the major negative here.
Putin was already supplying S-400s to Turkey.
We’ll have to wait and see what mischief they are up to in the short or long term.
I don’t trust Vlad. He’s taken over Russia, and has no intent to leave anytime soon. Guys like that can never be trusted (again) > IMO.
We are witnessing End Times Bible Prophesy occurring before our eyes. Won’t be long before Damascus is destroyed.
I remember when Russia entered Syria back in 2015 that it was a major prophetic move for them to be there.
4 years later and it’s still chaos.
That Turkey has all but abandoned NATO & joined Russia is no coincidence Prophetically speaking (remember that Russian SU-24 shot down by Turkey?).
Damascus will go down in fire soon enough. The question is when?
Putin’s checking them out - I don’t think he’s committed yet...
AMEN as many have said we are living in interesting times. What a gift to be alive and witness the Bible prophecy come alive before our eyes.
NATO ally
