A detailed review and assessment of chances of success for Astana Process:
The Syrian conflict remains massively complex. It combines a despotic, authoritarian regime, Islamic fundamentalists and other militant factions, an ethnic group at odds with a neighboring NATO power (that’s the Kurds and Turkey), Iran, and the interests of two global superpowers (Russia and the United States). At the time of this writing, there is little reason to hope for a solution to this conflict in the near future, whether it be via further violence or peace negotiations.
Note: Erdogan, Rouhani and Putin are gettign together on 16th of September to find a compromsie in Idlib. Thsi could be the last chance for Erdogan to keep Idlip City and the Northern segment of province peacefully. If he fails, Turkey may confront Assad directly via military campaigns
