Will Idlib buffer zone help bring peace?

They may be on opposites sides of the Syrian war, but Russia and Turkey have come together and potentially saved thousands of lives in Idlib. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, agreed to create a demilitarized buffer zone in Syria's Idlib province to separate Syrian regime troops from opposition forces, with Turkish and Russian soldiers patrolling the zone to ensure it is respected. Is this a step toward peace? Or simply delaying a bloodbath in Idlib?
