pepe Escobar - This is it. Deconstructing Lavrov: Turkiye, Iran and Russia may be hammering a deal to normalize/legalize selected Salafi-jihadis - thus sidelining the hyper-fanatics from any position of power. The Sultan wins his bet. For now.

Syria as we know it is no more. 

The mercy bullet came from a cadaver: the dead Astana process in Doha. 

Lavrov: "Relations between Syria and Turkiye are normalizing". 

He called for "dialogue" between the Syrian authorities and the "legitimate opposition."

"Legitimate"???               The Turkish Army has entered Aleppo. 

Hello again, Ottoman Empire.                  The moment everyone realized that Syria as we know it has gone to meet its maker.                                         DEAD ASTANA UPDATE

Lavrov, Fidan and Aragchi already met in Doha.

No substantial leaks. So far, only platitudes.
