But "they will not stand down and will negotiate by means of military force on the table and on the ground," Orhan added.
Pointing to an ongoing "arm wrestling" in northwestern Syria between Ankara and Moscow, and their proxies: the Syrian army and rebels, the expert said not sides will have to give up some of their demands to reach common ground.
Observers believed that Turkey's strategy is to annihilate as many Syrian military targets as possible until the Moscow meeting in order to have the upper hand.
"Our military will finish the job at hand there, until a new order," a Turkish source close to the government told Xinhua.
It is worth noting that the two leaders have been instrumental in the past, especially after the downing of a Russian warplane over Syria by Turkey in 2017, in bridging differences between their nations which are backing opposing sides in Syria.
For several years, Moscow and Ankara have been bickering over the Syrian issue despite their growing cooperation in other fields, such as energy, trade and tourism, before the killing of 34 Turkish soldiers in an airstrike in Idlib last week eventually brought things to the boil.
Turkey, which has concerns about its national security with a vast number of displaced Syrians flooding to its borders, has considerably beefed up its military presence in northern Syria in recent weeks, deploying over 9,000 troops.
A stand-off between Russia and NATO ally Turkey over Idlib, the last rebel stronghold the Russia-backed Syrian army has been trying to recapture since last December, could have effects far beyond the Syrian theater, so it is necessary for both parties to diffuse it, observers said.
