The standoff in Idlib between Turkish and Russian-backed Syrian forces has two dimensions: the immediate Turkish involvement in Syria and the broader Turkish-Russian rapprochement.
Despite Turkey’s violations of democratic norms, the humanitarian situation in Idlib requires the international community’s support.
The latest Turkish offensive in Syria isn’t exactly history repeating itself, but for the Kurds, it’s an idea they have heard before.
The US reaction has gone beyond what Turkey expected, but it seems unlikely that Ankara will scrap the S-400 deal.
Persistent polarization within Turkish politics remains the opposition’s biggest obstacle to electoral success.
