Erdogan gives up everything south of the #M4 with a 6km buffer zone to both sides.
#treason

Not a word about the 8 besieged Turkish observation posts.
Not a word about regime withdrawal from ANY city.
Again a "buffer zone" like in Astana (below), which was used by Assad, Putin & Iran to recapture most of the zone.
Erdogan surrendered.
Plain and simple.

A f*cking MILLION of civilians was forcefully displaced by the #AssadPutin offensive since December.
This agreement will make them IDPs for decades or forever.
Simply unbelievable.

Three more Turkish soldiers were killed in #Idlib today.
Erdogan’s deaths, which now died totally in vain.

HOW OFTEN did Erdogan publicly promise to free the besieged Turkish army observation posts?
10 times? 20 times?!
More than 60 Turkish soldiers died for that promise.
No idea how Turks can still support him.

Just in case, anyone is under any illusion that Putin won’t use this “fixed, written down, clearly mapped, inter-presidential agreement” to put the regime in a position to capture what is left of Idlib province ...
Think again.

People claim, I wanted to see “war” between Russia and Turkey.
Did any of you follow the press conferences?!
Turkey killed hundreds of Assad troops and destroyed Russian-supplied equipment, worth many millions.
Still, Putin pledged to not be in conflict with Turkey and condoled.

Turkey was on the winning road if it finally decided to use its hundreds of tanks and thousands of troops in Idlib. And all this without triggering anything serious from Russia.
But no. As for opportunism, cowardice and bad leadership, Erdogan decided to let Putin and Assad win.

There are people claiming that the regime violates the ceasefire by bombing towns in the Ghab plain and Jabal mountains tonight.
Didn’t they notice that Erdogan sold everything south of the M4 to Putin some hours ago?!
This is just the “details” they talked about, happening now.
