Now, Turkish forces have already entered Syria in August. However, it was done under the pretense of taking care of ISIS. Now, Erdogan openly states that his objective is to get rid of Asad (for the greater good of Syrian peole, of course).
The problem is that Russia is supporting Asad very strongly, and Erdogan's actions are in direct opposition to Putin's policy in that region. There will be a clash of interests between two superpowers.
This may take a dark turn, I fear.
