As I said previously, No need to push them to put down arms... They are a group , driving by an Ideology... That exist on one condition... Having "Followers".Difficult situation. I think in such move by Assad we will have to work with HTS but I am also curious what will happen after. HTS is still listed as terrorist organization including by Turkey. How are we going to convince them to put down arms I don't know... I don't like it.
Their Ideology, or at least their existence on the ground, is mostly because they claim to be the "True and Only One" group who are fulfilling the Original Syrian revo, aka Fight ASSad at all cost.
Their Followers are simple Syrians who took arm, most of them fought in multiple groups in those 7 years of conflict... Therefore, their "loyalty" lie in the ability of the group to maintain an anti -ASSad stance... Nothing more nothing less... That "Islamist BS" is only to the simple mind... or to Propagandist who use such "variable" to push their agendas... Since almost Every group in this conflict is "Islamist"... Where Islam and Rule are a core to every armed group... whatever it's FSA-HTS or even Hezb or those Asian Shia jihadi groups on the other side...
You want HTS out of the Picture, then make sure, they've got no followers...and for that, the simplest way to do so...is to answer the demands of those same followers...That is "Destroy ASSad and no condition" aka Continue the Revo...
If TR let down Idlib, HTS will grow, more than ever before, and FSA will be insignificant. If TR decide to protect Idlib... Then HTS ranks will melt, till they hold no significant power in this Idlib chess game...
HTS alike groups already passed by those "Diet" period in the Past... Everyone Remember Al Nusra Front... and their downfall against Ahrar al Sham...
