I think that Russia is trying to destabilize any country that doesn't tow their line. Bombing the shit out of the civilian areas in Syria is forcing the refugees into Turkey and Europe.

And what about the ISIS fighters who shaved their beards and fled dressed as women? One can ask if any of these with the Asylum seekers.

The Russians have forced peace talks despite the Americans objections and conditions. ISIS will be a problem to dislodge. Cities will have to be fortified and armed against them to make it difficult for them to regain their territory.
Unlike the USA at least Russia did more than one or two token drops in ISIS area.

You mean the "peace" that they aren't respecting?

The terms of peace haven't been agreed yet. So one cannot disrespect such until an agreement has been made.
News on the front is always hard to verify but reports such as this are coming out on a regular basis which also suggests that Turkey is involving itself in attacks on Syria. Other reports indicate it is shelling Kurdish positions.

Turkey attacked Syrian kurds, that's understandable. Then they attacked Syrian Army, that's harder to understand. And interesting enough they never attacked ISIS it seems 
In any case, Erdogan has some balls to attack kurds who are supported by US .... and russians too.

Yes, they do. Assad by the way supports them too.Turkey attacked Syrian kurds, that's understandable. Then they attacked Syrian Army, that's harder to understand. And interesting enough they never attacked ISIS it seems

At the very least the Kurds aren't Assad's enemy. The regime pays Kurdish civil salaries and the regime statues and monuments etc remain in place.

I think they are more than non enemies. There is cooperation and Assad gave them autonomy.
