After Idlib deal, Turkey faces tough task to oust jihadists

Under the agreement announced Monday, a demilitarised zone is to be set up aroundIdlib, one of the country's last major jihadist and rebel bastions on the border with Turkey. "I don't see how Turkey will be able to impose its will on jihadists," Syria expert Fabrice Balanche said.
