In Turkey the climate is also changing. Heavily destabilised by a series of IS and Kurdish PKK attacks, the subsequent collapse of its tourist industry, the absorption since 2011 of three million Syrian refugees and then by last week‘s coup attempt, even Turkey, once solidly pro-rebel, is talking of future „normalising“ of relations.

Like Europe and the US, it has too many problems at home to worry about Syria.

But therein lies the biggest danger.
