Russia warns against continued escalation in Idlib

The Kremlin has waded into the deepening crisis in Syria’s northwest Idlib by warning that all attacks on Russian and Syrian government forces had to stop and that a Russo-Turkish deal on northeast Syria had to be implemented.
The comments from the Kremlin come after the latest attack on a Turkish military base in Taftanaz in Idlib province just days after eight other Ankara backed militants were killed.
Turkish President Recep Tayyeb Erdogan promised a ‘strong response’ after the initial troop casualties and met with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in an attempt to return to the fragile peace that had underscored the agreement signed between the two nations in 2018 that pledged to turn the province into a demilitarized zone.
Syria says it will continue to expel all Takfiri terrorists from its territory.
The latest incidents are among the most serious confrontations between Turkish and Syrian troops in the nearly nine-year-long conflict in Syria with the Syrian Arab Army slowly driving Turkish-backed militants and Takfiri terrorists out of their remaining footholds in the war-torn country. Some worry that further escalations are likely to occur as the Syrian government liberate the remaining territories still in the hands of these militants.
