Reuters reports the leaders of Russia, Germany, France and Turkey met in Istanbul on Saturday to discuss Syria. The last rebel stronghold, located in Idlib, Syria has seen an increase in violence over the past few weeks, where at least 7 civilians were killed on Friday alone. The rebels are looking to overthrow the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, have been backed by Turkey. The four leaders are hoping to avert a massive government offensive, and bring an end to the long standing civil war. As well as preliminary steps to creating a post war constitution and election system if the war should end. It will be interesting to see what sort of outcomes stem from this summit, as Russia has been a long standing supporter of Assad. It will also be interesting to see what kind of reaction the United States will have seeing as we were not invited. Another key player, Iran will also be absent from the talk as well.
