https://anfenglish.com/news/russia-approved-turkey-attacked-afrin-with-69-jets-24301/ The article refers to an "Afrin-Idlib bargain". This refers to a deal whereby Turkey is allowed to invade Afrin in return for Assad being allowed to recapture Idlib, currently held by Turkish-backed rebels. This follows the 2016 deal where Turkey was allowed to invade parts of Aleppo province, including Jarablus and al-Bab, in return for withdrawing some Turkish-backed groups from Aleppo city and elsewhere, enabling Assad to capture these areas.
