Sahal you ate right sultan erdogan will not let ahrar Al sham and other Muslim brotherhood forces.
This realignment towards Russia is temporary and only happened because the US tried to use him and then coup him when he didn't obey orders.
All this is erdogan telling the West I am in charge and any policy in this region can only be subordinate to him.
As soon as the Kurds are dealt with, erdogan will turn against the Russians and Assad and try to stab them in the back.
He is playing both sides, you have to respect him he is an equal player in the game not a pawn and he is holding superior cards.
great analysis. i have learned how to examine the things from you and others so i believe there is turkey-russian coordination but at this stage turkeys main target is daesh thats why assad is angry. some even believe that he armed daesh in tadmur to use these weapons in al bab!
as you know regime-daesh front in aleppo is calm. daesh have handed over infarty school to regime without fight! this has made the FSA to change its strategy by attack ing daesh from the middle

they r lying. daesh just evacuated it and after some hours both regime and kurds claimed moving into the area. finally kurds handed it over to regime

regime, russia and iran have different strategies
the regime strategy towards daesh has changed since russia involved in it. russia believes to use the daesh card by showing some progress in the battle field meantime concentrate more on the rebels in hama, damscus, lattakia, eastern and southren aleppo by following scorched earth policy. this will force the rebels to evacuate each city.
russia plan was to capture daesh urban area(palmyra, kuweires airbase, deir al zour
the regime sees removing daesh means the war will be seen as a war between regime and opposition so they r saying let us first get rid of the rebels and leave daesh as the last file!
another excuse is not having enough number of men to fight in everywhere
now regime understands the turkey motivations....90% of daesh held area is sunni arab areas the rest 10 is kurds....its called badiyat al sham the syrian desert there is no other religious sects so naturally it will go to the FSA
thats why regime needs to arm daesh with tanks to defend raqa and north aleppo
iran has some agenda of syria and iraq in exchange of yemen
if saudis accept this deal, iran is ready to change the regime in syria. assad will go but another alawite or even shia will replace him and there will be ahrar pm. some govt like lebanon
so assad is not happy about iran negotiations with ahrar in fua&kafraya matters
