Russia proposes to return to the treaty on Turkey's fight against terrorists in Syria

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Moscow offered Syria and Turkey to return to an agreement allowing Turkish forces to fight terrorists on Syrian territory, but in agreement with Damascus. This was announced on September 1 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

“In informal contacts, we proposed returning to the philosophy of 1998, when the Adana Agreement was signed,” the diplomat said at a meeting with students and faculty of MGIMO.

He recalled that this agreement assumed that there was a terrorist threat, and in order to stop it, Ankara would have the right, in agreement with Damascus, to send its anti-terrorist structures to a certain depth of Syrian territory.

As IA Regnum reported, earlier the Special Representative of the President of Russia for the Middle East and Africa, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said that the draft roadmap for the normalization of relations between Syria and Turkey, proposed by Russia, is ready.

Following the quadripartite meeting held in Moscow on May 10, the Foreign Ministers of Russia, Iran, Syria and Turkey instructed their deputies to develop a roadmap for normalizing relations between Syria and Turkey. It is necessary to move this process forward.

#1 Will Turkey give up its so-called Syrian National Army paramilitaries and its support for various Muslim Brotherhood (and worse)-linked Syrian opposition groups that started in 2011? It is my understanding that these were the reasons the Assad government quit the 1998 Adana Agreement, which was all about driving out the PKK.
