This is what Turkey is considering in Syria’s Idlib after Syrian regime attacks on Turkish troops
“Turkey will announce its steps against the Assad regime tomorrow,” Erdogan said on Tuesday as a US delegation is currently discussing the Idlib situation with Turkish officials.
Turkey wants to create safe zones in northern Syria to relocate its nearly four million-strong refugee population in those areas. If the regime claims Idlib, which has been populated by at least three million people, another refugee crisis appears to be unavoidable as they are already hitting the roads towards the Turkish border.
In the case of a Syrian breakup, it’s not clear how Turkey would react in terms of its controlled territories in northern Syria, which covers some parts of the ‘Aleppo Vilayet’ from the Ottoman period.
