Russian-Turkish Deal for Syria Announced

Turkey and the Kurds
James M. Dorsey, BESA
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan appears to have miscalculated the fallout of what may prove to be a foolhardy intervention in Syria and neglected alternative options that could have strengthened Turkey’s position without sparking the ire of much of the international community.
