As the HTS command structure continues to collapse, Turkey's government has already helped 2000+ terrorists flee Idlib for Turkey -- but Erdogan's regime is just funneling them to Europe via Greece. As to how many of these 'terrorist insurgents' were mercenaries initially infiltrated into Syria via Turkey, I don't know. But one thing is clear. They sure as hell can't flee to Saudi Arabia or Qatar. Unless their paymasters can repurpose them for fighting in Yemen or Libya, where are they supposed to go? Afghanistan?

TEHRAN (FNA)- A large number of terrorists have fled to Turkey in cooperation with Turkish officials in recent months as gaps have been widening among terrorist groups and the Tahrir al-Sham al-Hay’at (the Levant Liberation Board or Al-Nusra Front) [HTS] command structure has collapsed.
The Arabic-language al-Watan newspaper [Syiria] quoted local sources in Kharbeh al-Joz Northwest of Jisr al-Shoghour in Western Idlib as saying that over 2,000 militants have fled to Turkey after being helped by Turkish border guards since the Syrian Army kicked off its military operation on May 6.
The local sources also pointed to Turkey’s threats on increasing corridors from Turkey to Europe, and said that most of the Ankara-backed terrorists who have defected their terrorist groups have fled to the European countries via Greece.
Al-Watan also quoted sources close to Tahrir al-Sham as saying that a wave of internal differences and defection can be seen among Tahrir al-Sham commanders as they accuse each other of treason.
