The Turkish head of state, Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday came as a supplicant in the Kremlin. The war in Idlib, the last Syrian rebel stronghold, is for Erdogan and his allies of the Syrian insurgents not to win.
Russian President Vladimir Putin Erdogan in the Hand. Erdogan’s troops can delay the victory of Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad, in the best case, the price of fallen Turkish soldiers. Would bring the victim nothing. As long as Putin keeps his Hand over Assad, remains Erdogan is the loser.
otherwise, Erdogan, Putin is dependent on. Russia is the second most important trade partner of Turkey, Moscow is building for Ankara, nuclear power plants, supplies of grain, Russian tourists come in millions of number. The two countries should provide a economic war, is likely to Ankara to draw back the Shorter. The Turkish economy is ailing, so much so that Erdogan has to fear to lose due to rising Inflation and unemployment, further support of its citizens.
Erdogan has handed Putin an Instrument, the foundations of the Western military Alliance to undermine.
All of these are reasons for Putin to Erdogan fidget. The Kremlin can offer Ankara generously with a ceasefire in Idlib, but he can return to his refined game at any time. Putin’s objectives in Syria and the Middle East are obvious. Assad, you will be ruler over Syria, where Moscow establish more military bases, and his Power in the middle East wants to expand. In the Region that the United States withdraw politically and militarily further and further back, could Russia, with its Oil industry; raw materials there is not really enough.
in Addition, Putin has delivered to the Nato-member Turkey still in the air defense system S-400 for Nato, the work of the devil par excellence. Erdogan has reached out to Putin, of course, the foundations of the Western military Alliance to undermine. Moscow leaves no opportunity to do so. Bringing the Meeting held on Thursday, Putin probably has paid off – in the case of Erdogan, you can’t be so sure.
