Preliminary reading of Moscow Agreement: gains, losses and messages

[NPASYRIA] The ceasefire agreement between Russia and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
in Idlib, north-west of Syria, has ended the expiry of the Ottoman Turkish political and media discourse since a month, regarding the battles taking place there. The deadline that the Ottoman Turkish president Erdogan has repeatedly threatened the Syrian regime, is a testament to the significant Ottoman Turkish retreat in the negotiations which took place between the two sides in Moscow.

The Syrian opposition has placed its hopes on his red line, that is, the deadline granted to the regime forces to withdraw from Saraqib, Maarat al-Numan, and dozens of other villages. For a moment, and in addition to accepting the new reality, it seemed that his retreat from what he had threatened, would be an insult to him and to his country, but the agreement which was announced by the officials of the two countries in a presser, included surprising items which were not taken into account. Given the size of Erdogan's threats and the rush of his forces despite the shocking losses, the expectations were that there must be joint patrols on Aleppo-Damascus M5 highway, which are now under the Syrian regime’s control, and not Aleppo-Lattakia M4 highway, which passes through the remaining depth in the areas of the Syrian opposition and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else

#1  Like the Turks have any intention to keep any agreements not enforced by by Russian iron fist (and Russia doesn't have an iron fist in Syria).
