RT: Turkey calls for joint control with Russia & Iran over US troop pullout from Syria
As the US is experiencing “certain difficulties” with the withdrawal from Syria, it should be coordinated with Iran and Russia to prevent “terrorists” from taking up the vacated space, the Turkish foreign minister said.
“The United States [has] been facing certain difficulties with the process of the troops' withdrawal from Syria. We want to coordinate this process with Russia and Iran, with which we had arranged work in the framework of the Astana process,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Wednesday.
Cavusoglu visited Moscow late in December to discuss the situation in Syria. On Wednesday, he mulled bilateral talks between Turkey and Iran, giving no timeframe, however.
At the same time, Cavusoglu revealed that a summit between all three partiesis being prepared in Moscow.

Turkey is overreaching as its power can't extend to Erdogan's ambitions.
The USA can't and wont become the de facto ruler of eastern Syria. It's of no vital interest to the USA. The Kurds will seek a deal with Assad who is mighty motivated to make a deal since it will unite his country. So Turkey will be facing Assad, the Kurds, possible Russian intervention as well as Iranian intervention. Turkey will be alone in its invasion of Syria. Won't happen. Erdogan is making an enemy out of the US and a fool out of himself.
