In recent months, Turkey’s government has adopted an increasingly tougher stance toward Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, convinced that it can only fall. The agreement recently reached by the United States and Russia is, from this standpoint, frustrating news: For the price of destroying its chemical arsenal, the regime may have saved itself.
最近几个月来，土耳其政府对叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德政权的立场越来越强硬，认为必须将他推翻。从这个角度看，美国和俄罗斯最近所达成的协议是令人沮丧的消息：作为摧毁其化学武库的交换，巴沙尔政权可能会保留。
