Turkey talking to all sides in Syria conflict for Idlib ceasefire

Turkey talking to all sides in Syria conflict for Idlib ceasefireAnkara failed last week to win agreement for a ceasefire from Russia and Iran, President Bashar al-Assad's main backers, but there has been a recent lull in air strikes and a pro-Damascus source indicated a ground attack may not be imminent. Rebels also said some pro-Assad forces had left frontlines in northwest Syria in recent days. Turkey has reinforced a dozen military posts inside the Idlib region, which lies across its southern border and is controlled by Turkey-backed rebels and jihadist fighters, trying to forestall a government assault.
