#Turkey #Syria Op: Tomorrow is “The” Day-#Erdogan will meet #Russia’s #Putin In #Sochi. After the meeting with #Pence in #Turkey last week, this coming meeting will put the “final-Final” touch on #Syria Op. Stay Tuned for my Analyses & Predictions.- - - nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/p…

Just remember, #Russia & #USA are coordinating and cooperating on #Syria. #Turkey’s hope: To Get From #Russia What it couldn’t get from #USA. I’m afraid, it won’t happen. Actually, Russia’s offer on Turkey #SafeZone will be far less, far more limited than Now-Canned US Offer.

Iran warns #Turkey & says establishing military post in #Syria will be unacceptable not only to Iran, but “Other” countries as well. By “Other Countries” #Iran meant #Russia.

Here’s the latest awaiting the conclusion of #Turkey #Russia Meeting tomorrow: #Syria Claims it has surrounded Turkey Military in Ras al-Ayn, & that Turkish Military to leave the area “very soon”, thanking Russia 4 making it possible “diplomatically”. aml.ink/jFmWd

#USA #Pompeo Floating “Military Action Against #Turkey If “Needed”” Line Hours Before #Russia’s #Putin #Erdogan Meeting In #Sochi.- - - “#Trump ‘fully prepared’ for military action against Turkey – Pompeo” rt.com/news/471472-po… #

#Erdogan: #Turkey unhappy with #Iran’s position on Turkey’s Op In #Syria en.trend.az/world/turkey/3…

Let’s Recap International Position On #Turkey #Syria Op: The #EU, #USA, #Russia, the comical #ArabLeague led by #SaudiArabia & #Iran: All Oppose. So far, on the record, only #Pakistan & #Qatar are “overtly” in support. Emphasis on “Overt” here😉

I just pinned my #Turkey’s #Erdogan #Russia’s Putin Meeting Taking Place On #Syria Today (Tue, Oct 22) in #Sochi for Updates. I’ll have the detailed analyses later at #Newsbud for my community members. Subscribe & Join Newsbud if You Haven’t Already & Stay Tuned @sibeledmonds

To Recap My Expectations From this Meeting (#Putin-#Erdogan): 1- #Russia Will Offer #Turkey Far Less Than The Original #USA Offer On N. #Syria & #SafeZone Parameters; 2- There Won’t Be Any Conclusive Agreement & Yet Another #Sochi Meeting Date with #Iran & #Syria,s #Assad Reps

For a bit of a positive spin: 3- #Putin will Persuade #Erdogan to “Extend” #Ceasefire Deadline (2 Be Expired Tonight)- Erdogan will comply but with a bit of posturing on #Turkey remaining “tough & unrelenting”; 4- Behind-The-Scene Preps 4 New Const #Assad #Syria Gov to continue

#Putin-#Erdogan Joint conference post meeting in a few minutes. I’ll have my full analysis at #Newsbud in a couple of hours ... Make sure you join our community.

#Turkey #Syria #Ceasefire Deadline will Expire In 2.5 hours (20:30 pm in Turkey).

Okay- Then, let’s discuss what #Erdogan #Putin Did Not discuss. - - - “Putin, Erdogan Did Not Discuss Purchase of Russian Jets or New S-400s - Military Cooperation Service: sputniknews.com/military/20191…

One intriguing point that keeps coming up yet not being questioned or covered by #MSM: #Putin keeps asking for the details of #Turkey #USA agreement per #Pence visit last week. Both Gov released the agreement, obviously they haven’t released all or the “Most Important” parts.

So far this meeting (#Putin #Erdogan) On #Syria has lasted twice longer than #Pence-Erdogan Meeting. Putin is known as a tough negotiator.

#Putin-#Erdogan Meeting Over. They’re preparing statements for the press. Press Conf coming very soon ...

Finally! Press conference begins!

Which one of my analyses/predictions came through? Coming Up Shortly via #Newsbud!

I’ll have the full summary & conclusions up at #Newsbud shortly. But. 1- #Turkey got far less than #USA orig offer, 2- Back to 1998 #AdanaAgreement with #Syria (10 km instead of 30 KM it was asking); 3- Turkey got on board “publicly” recognizing #Assad & Coming Const Committee...

#Putin: a tough negotiator. Got what it wanted- has the upper hand.

Via @ragipsoylu: Putin today is extra happy

• He got Turkish recognition of Assad hold in 30km deep zone formerly controlled by Syrian Kurdish YPG.
• Turkey reconised a deal signed by Assad regime in 90s
• He is now confirmed that he is the ultimate arbiter, to check on YPG

In the end: All good. #Turkey overtly & publicly recognized #Assad Gov. #Russia will jointly payroll the “small” area with Turkey & keep things contained. Good for #Syria, good for #Russia, and Yes-overall good for #USA .

Patrol not payroll!

The conclusion of #Putin-#Erdogan Meeting & Press Conf afterward took much longer than expected. My general analysis and Take will be up at #Newsbud shortly, and in the coming day of two, when less brain-dead, further, longer, in-depth analyses via #Newsbud.

I also spent hours on summary translation of Col Osman Başıbüyük @obasibuyuk90 amazing analysis on #Syria & the highly possible #ISIS false-flag Attacks In EU. I’ll have a full episode on this tomorrow. If you are not a member of #Newsbud join now in order to tune in.
