Referring to a recent meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin and their deal over the Syrian city of Idlib, Ilham Ahmed said: "This is not the first time that Putin and Erdogan have held negotiations. Previously had seen this issue in Afrin, Ghouta, Deraa, Idlib, but their control were given to the central government after negotiations between the two presidents.

She continued that there is a lot of speculation about the provisions of this truce (in Idlib), such as the creation of a thirty-kilometer belt across northern Syria, but what is currently seen is the emphasis on a ceasefire in Idlib and the joint patrol of Russian and Turkish forces and the creation of a security belt around the (M4 and M5) roads.”

In response to the question that what will be the future of the agreement, Ahmed said, "It is not clear how long the agreement will last and how it will start. There are some hidden issues in the dialogue between the two sides, but that there is an agreement over all of northern Syria, we cannot confirm such a thing.”

On the possibility of another Turkish attack on Syrian Kurdistan, she noted that Turkey is not now in a situation to launch a new attack against northern Syria as Russia broke Turkey's Prestige with blows to the Turkish military in Idlib.

The chairman of the Syrian Democratic Parliament's leadership committee reiterated that Turkey thought it could protect Idlib, but the Syrian military strikes in cooperation with Russian forces sent a message to Erdogan that he is unable to fight in Idlib.

She pointed to Russia's role in Idlib and said that Russia was seeking a balance in Idlib. It first allowed the Syrian army to harm Turkey and then the Turks to target the Syrian military position to tell them that they wouldn't be able to do anything without Russia.
