Old Faces, New Alliances: Who Will Win the Struggle for Syria? | To The Point

US President Donald Trump has largely handed responsibility for Syria over to Turkey and Russia which are now making their own alliance. What's next for the region? Our guests:

Kristin Helberg, a featured Mideast analyst with a number of European publications. She says: "With his plan for north-eastern Syria, Putin has made both Erdogan and Assad happy. It’s the Kurds who are paying the price.”

Alan Posener, a regular commentator for the Berlin-based daily Die Welt, who argues: "Russia and Iran have already won the struggle for Syria. Now it’s important for the West not to lose Turkey.”

Cagir Özdemir from DW’s Turkish Department. He believes: “Turkey's only game in Syria now is to contain the perceived security threats and help Assad remain in power.“
