The Syrian truce and pressuring Turkey
The primary winner from the ceasefire in Syria in the current circumstances is the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. The US-led international alliance is taking back territories from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which mainly go back to regime control.
Challenges
The truce is not a peace project, but a project to slow the pace of the crisis. If it succeeds it will turn Syria into another Somalia.
