Erdogan: Talks With Russia Unsatisfactory, Turkish Offensive in Syria 'Matter
Of Time'

RFE/RL

   Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that a military
   operation in the northwestern Syrian region of Idlib was a "matter of
   time" if President Bashar al-Assad's forces fail to withdraw behind
   Turkish military positions-- prompting criticism from Moscow.

   The Syrian Army's offensive, backed by Russian air support, has
   triggered the biggest wave of refugees in the nine-year conflict.
