The official Syrian News Agency, SANA, announced the news of the meeting of Mamlouk Fidan, and conveyed statements to the owners about Syria’s demand for the Turkish side to withdraw completely from the Syrian territories and Syria’s determination to fight terrorism and restore the entire Syrian geography.

This meeting is seems to be important and remarkable development, and it is important, although the two men had previously met in the framework of the security meetings that were previously taking place between Turkey and Syria under Russian sponsorship.

The information about the content and reasons for the meeting is still unknown despite the announcement of the meeting, but it is natural that the situation in Idlib and the northern Syria, the future of this region and the fate of the armed groups in it, as well as the East Euphrates file, and the lack of commitment by Ankara to what it recognized in the Sochi agreement be discussed in dimensions Armed groups report an agreed-upon area between the Russian and Turkish sides, located south of Idlib.

However, all of these files have been negotiated by Damascus via the Russian channel, and it may not seem that there is a need for a direct meeting, especially since the cease-fire was agreed upon after a meeting on the sidelines of the opening of the “Turkish Stream” project in Istanbul, Turkey, last Wednesday, between Russian President Vladimir Putin, and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Unless the northern Syrian front is heading for major changes, and there are some field movements in northern Syria that may be considered indicators of a new round of escalation and more change of control maps for the benefit of the Syrian army in the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib, which are under the control of Jabhat al-Nusra and its sisters.

“Military preparations for the army The Syrian may aim to open a battle on the fronts of the countryside of Aleppo first, before completing the progress in the southern countryside of Idlib.
