Beating in Turkish Parliament as Erdogan flees to Moscow for meeting with Putin (Video)

The meeting between the leaders of Turkey and Russia, expected to be held today, will be the last chance to reach an agreement avoiding other atrocities in northern Syria.

Facing a devastating military defeat in the province of Idlib and with a potential wave of people fleeing the fighting, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan is demanding ceasefire, and Putin is ready to enter the market.

With the new crisis of immigrants at Europe's borders that seems to be frightening, all eyes will be in Moscow, where the two main powers in Syria will try to reach another agreement that fits their respective agendas, writes The Guardian, translates Periscopi.

Any pact, however, is expected to simply ward off the violent attacks by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's troops, who threaten the worsening suffering of 3 million people stuck in Idlib.

Vladimir Frolov, an independent Russian political analyst, said: “The main problem in Idlib is the desire of President Bashar al-Assad to establish full control in the area and block the border with Turkey, while trying to expel 3 million Sunitas, hostile to him on Turkish soil. ”

Fighting in the province, the only opposition-controlled region in Syria, has been catastrophic for the population there. Nearly 1 million people have fled their homes since the last offensive that started on December 1st.

For Turkey, which has sent thousands of troops to Syria in recent weeks, the intervention has been terrible: 58 soldiers were killed last month, including 33 by an air strike last week.

Meanwhile, the political situation in Turkey has deteriorated so much that at the Syria intervention session, MPs from the ruling party physically clashed with other MPs. /Periscope
