Turkey's Strategic Triumph in Syria: Erdogan's Ascendancy
TL;DR Summary
Turkey has emerged as a significant player in the Syrian civil war following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan poised to benefit from the power shift. Turkey's support for the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has given it influence in Syria, potentially allowing for the repatriation of Syrian refugees and improved relations with the U.S. However, the situation remains precarious, with risks of instability and extremism in post-Assad Syria, which could impact Turkey's regional ambitions.
