Turkey could be one of the big winners from the new Syria crisis, giving it a chance to tackle its Syrian refugee problem and the Kurdish threat along its border, observers say.

Turkey has warned the Syrian government of Bashar Al-Assad as civil war has reignited in the Middle East nation. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara is committed to territorial integrity of Syria and that Turkey wants conflict to be resolved as per 'legitimate wishes' of Syrians.

Images shared on social media have illustrated the anger that Syrian rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad feel toward his ally Vladimir Putin. The Russian leader has been indispensable in propping up Assad's regime during the brutal Syrian civil war that started in 2011 but has been essentially frozen over the last four years.
