Afrasianet - Dr. Khayyam Al-Zoubi wrote - From Idlib, the “Jabhat al-Nusra” and “Agnad Caucasus” organizations and other extremist organizations are falling under the strikes of the Syrian army, and the dreams and illusions of President Erdogan who imagined the occupation of the Syrian north have fallen with them. The Syrian government, in light of important articulated developments that occurred in recent weeks, confirms that the strategic victory in Syria is around the corner. Today, the world as a whole is watching the course of the Idlib liberation battle, which in its timing and future results is the title of a new stage of the war on the Syrian state. Today, it has no choice but to continue with the military decisiveness to purify the Syrian land of the abomination of terrorism and its leaders, supporters and financiers.
It is not strange for us today to hear President Assad's statements about the near conclusion of the Idlib battle and the end of terrorism in the region. Resolving the Syrian army for the Idlib battle means that a heavy pressure card with Erdogan's hand on the Syrian government has fallen, and the Syrian government will be in a comfortable position in any negotiation process on the future of Syria, and that accomplishing the mission in Idlib gives the Syrian army and its allies a surplus of a large military force, so all the forces gathered On the outskirts of Aleppo, it will take its path to the remaining fronts in the Syrian east, and this will accelerate the resolution of those fronts, therefore the liberation of these areas will have major repercussions on the ground, and it is expected that, according to its expected results, will constitute a major turn towards the end of the war on Syria. In this context,
I believe that Erdogan made a mistake by placing his eggs in the basket of extremist groups and their tools. However, the Idlib battle is a battle of fate, it may be long and turns and complications may enter, but the result will be one of the least to overturn the existing equation in Idlib, and if the current Turkish threats result in a military strike Targeting the Syrian army, this would greatly accelerate the resolution of the battle in Idlib for the benefit of the Syrian army and its allies. In the same context, Erdogan appears to be the weakest link, and the proof is that he went to Russia to meet President Putin, which makes him in a weaker negotiating position, especially after Putin rejected Turkish offers for bilateral or quartet meetings in Istanbul, and the summit comes after this Erdogan exhausted all means to pay His allies in NATO to help him militarily, or exert military or economic pressure on Russia to stop the Syrian military campaign inside Idlib, and on the other side Erdogan failed to drag NATO to participate in the ongoing war in Idlib. On a parallel line, Erdogan knows that he is in deep trouble that he cannot prevent the Syrian army from liberating Idlib from terrorist gangs, and he cannot confront Russia and sacrifice his strategic and economic interests with which he was associated with Moscow, and he cannot count on American support that has receded into words, and in the same Time realizes the consequences of his failure in the adventure of invading Syria, and knows the dire consequences that will be returned to Turkey itself, and in the region where his irresponsible adventures have multiplied since he linked his fate to the fate of terrorist extremist groups and the illusion of reviving the Ottoman caliphate, thus Erdogan will swallow his defeats so far, and C He accepts the limits of his role after field developments in Syria, but he knows that the next one is more difficult for him, realizing that the retreat in Syria means the difficult defeat his adventures in Syria reached.
I can say that in Idlib we will witness future days full of developments and victories, and the Syrian flag will rise high above the land of Idlib and the Syrian people will tear those black flags of strangers who have kidnapped this city, and that the painful slap that Erdogan and the country’s brokers will leave will have direct effects on the Syrian crisis and will change many From the positions in the regional and international arenas.
