FILE - This September 14, 2018 file photo, protesters wave revolutionary Syrian and Turkish flags as they attend a demonstration against the Syrian government offensive in Idlib, in Maarat al-Numan, south of Idlib, Syria. After eight months of relative calm, Idlib is once again a theater for bloody military operations as Syrian government troops, backed by Russia, push their way into the rebel-held enclave in a widening offensive. The violence in May 2019 threatens to completely unravel a crumbling cease-fire agreement reached between Turkey and Russia last September. (Ugur Can/DHA via AP, File)
