The Gas attack could be a way of drawing Turkey back into the Syrian crisis.
Turkey this week declared that Euphrates Shield was over and that it would now focus on building cities for displaced Syrians in the regions it has de facto control over.
Turkey also stated that although Euphrates Shield was over it did not mean that it would halt military operations under different names.
Today we are informed that Turkey is amassing troops on the its Iraq border and that it now intends to commence Operation Tigris Shield with similar objectives to E.S. To secure a buffer zone between its borders to prevent cross border attacks by terrorists.
It seems as though Mr. Putin and Mr. Erdogan have reached an agreement whereby Syria would be controlled by Moscow and Iraq by Ankara and that the two will help each other.
The raising of the Kurdish flag in Kirkuk and the recent Gas attach in Idlib could be a way of discouraging Turkish-Russian cooperation in the region.
