Putin meets Erdogan to discuss Syria.
It's clear what Turkey will not be able to take control of a large 'Safe zone' 444 km wide. Also Turkey will not remove Turkish backed militants from the occupied small 'safe zone' about 150 km wide.
What Turkey could offer Russia in these talks we will see in Idlib region soon. Which part of Idlib province Syrian army will take in 2nd phase of its offensive. Area along M-4/ M-5 highways with towns or also included #Idlib city.
Agreement between Putin &Erdogan:
-#YPG (armed Syrian Kurds) pulls back 30-32 km from border.
-Syrian border guards+Rus MP take control of border (except Turkish 'safe zone')
-Russian-Turkish joint patrols which can go 10 km deep into Syrian territory (except Qamishli city).
Also YPG and their weapons will be removed from Manbij and Tal Rifat cities.
Joint Russian-Turkish patrols because Turkey has no diplomatic relations with Syria, so Turkish troops can not patrolling this border area with Syrian border guards.
Ankara says ‘no need to start new Syria offensive’ after Putin-Erdogan talks.
Turkey will not be launching a new offensive against Kurds in northeastern Syria, following a five-day pause in hostilities and talks in Sochi.
