Turkey will not evacuate military observation posts in northern Syria following Russian and regime attacks in Idlib - Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar
"Evacuating the observation post in Idlib after the regime's attack is definitely not happening, it won't happen anywhere," Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said.
Turkish news outlet Anadolu Agency has reported that Syrian regime forces have carried out at least three attacks near a Turkish observation post in the Idlib de-escalation zone, one of 12 posts set up under an agreement between Turkey, Russia and Iran last May. Since last year, the region has been partly shielded in a ceasefire brokered by Russia and Turkey, but much of the recent fighting has hit that buffer zone.
Akar said the beginning of a "new tragedy" had been prevented and he had discussed preventing a new wave of migrants into Turkey with Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu.Akar said he sees an improvement in talks with the United States over the purchase of Russian S-400 defence systems and US F-35 fighter jets, but added that Ankara was also preparing for potential US sanctions.
