Tomorrow Sept.16 Ankara to host trilateral #Russia-#Iran-#Turkey summit on #Syria. It is expected to announce quite important decisions on, e.g. finalization of the Constitutional Committee & political process in general, #Idlib, return of #refugees, humanitarian aid. Stay tuned. #Putin just landed in #Ankara for trilateral #Syria summit. Apart of #Syria related issues #Russia, #Iran & #Turkey will likely to discuss the recent attack on #SaudiArabia oil facilities which led to 19% increase of Brent price & will likely increase regional tensions.

Reports say #SAA is taking control over #KhanShaykhun. It happens despite #Turkey's attempts to re-enforce militants & deploy more of its own forces to the area. It seems Ankara is late.
TRK might try to fight back if it doesn't have a deal with #Russia which is doubtfulю Today while in #France #Putin said: We are observing constant raids from #Idlib (incl Khmeymim), & moreover we r seeing militants moving from there to other parts of the world... We support #Syrian_Army efforts to carry out local operations to neutralize terrorist threats.
