Ankara will demand from Moscow to stop the offensive of the Syrian army

Turkey is seeking and will continue to push Russia to persuade Damascus to cease its offensive in Idlib province and withdraw government forces from its positions, thereby retreating from the strategically important M5 highway, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Akar said Ankara would continue to ask Moscow for pressure on Damascus to divert forces from the M5 road. The main requirement is that the government forces take up the positions in which they were in 2018, when the ceasefire agreement was signed in Idlib.



We requested that they (the authorities of the Russian Federation) get the Syrian regime to immediately cease attacks and fulfill the terms of the ceasefire agreement. This would allow civilians to return home, to their native land. We requested (from the Russian Federation) that the forces of the regime immediately depart from the M5 highway. And we will continue to ask for it

- he said.

Recall that the Syrian government forces for the first time since 2012 took control of the M5 highway connecting Aleppo to Damascus, entering the Aleppo suburb - the village of Rashidin. The offensive is currently ongoing.

The advancement of the Syrian army is complicated by the presence of Turkish observation posts in Idlib province, around which militants focus and conduct shelling. At the same time, the Turks are not going to leave any of the points. Currently, four Turkish observation posts and two military positions in Idlib are located in the territory controlled by the Syrian army.

The Turkish Ministry of Defense said that Turkish soldiers were ordered to take tough measures when attacking the posts of Syrian government forces.

Meanwhile, Turkey began to experience problems with the supply of agricultural products to Russia, in particular, tomatoes. According to the head of the Union of Exporters of the Eastern Black Sea region, Ahmet Hamdi Gyrdogan, the Russian side is in dire need of tomatoes, since the supply of tomatoes from China is closed due to the coronovirus, but Turkish products cannot enter the Russian market. This is explained by the absence of quotas, but Gurdogan is sure that the situation in Idlib, where the interests of Ankara and Moscow agreed, is to blame.

We are ready to supply our products to Russia instead of Chinese (...) our historical friendship with Russia due to events in Syria and especially in Idlib, is under great pressure, relations deteriorate. (...)

he said, adding that he hoped for common sense in Ankara and Moscow.

          Russian President Vladimir Putin over the phone discussed with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a solution to the Syrian crisis in the context of the aggravation of the situation in the Idlib de-escalation zone, RIA Novosti reported with reference to the Kremlin press service.

          It was noted that the conversation took place on the initiative of the Turkish side. "The discussion of various aspects of the settlement of the Syrian crisis, primarily in the context of the aggravation of the situation in the Idlib de-escalation zone, was continued. The importance of full implementation of the existing Russian-Turkish agreements, including the Sochi memorandum of September 17, 2018, was noted." , - said in the message of the Kremlin.


          It is emphasized that for these purposes it was agreed to conduct additional contacts through the relevant departments.

The T-62 was designed not as a tank, but as a tank destroyer and its 115 mm cannon, capable of firing and ATGMs, it will be better than Turkish junk, such as Leopard-1, M48 and M60 ... T-62M was sent to Syria, with additional armor, a laser rangefinder and updated ammunition ... By the way, there are more T-72B in Syria , and there is a T-90, but I don’t advise meeting Leopards-2 with this ... Moreover, their appearance in Syria has already ended with torn towers E and burnt therein Turks ...

    Syria restores order on its territory, and Turkey must leave the territory of Syria. But with the Turkish stream, complete failure, money thrown away. If Turkey does not leave Syria, a conflict with it in Syria is inevitable, which means the Turks will abandon the Turkish stream, they will blackmail them with Russia. The Turkish stream is the most stupid project, as well as the supply of S-400 to Turkey and the construction of their nuclear power plants. and so on. Business must be carried out headlong, taking into account future consequences. To develop and equip a potential adversary is a great nonsense. You can trade with them, but independent of them in the domestic sphere (food, natural resources, household appliances, etc.). So wait, the sale of the S-400 is still awkward, they will be knocked down by several Syrian aircraft.

              I would be glad if hotels, like 2-3 years ago, would lower prices due to the lack of Russian tourists. And the people are looking forward to the sanctions of Russia - vegetables, fruits will be cheaper ... But your ignorance is so deep however. And before you it was great, and after you will be fine. You don’t know about tourism yet. Turkey (Min of Tourism) for each plane gives money to the tour operator, and a lot, so your holidays seem cheap to you. And you, apparently, stayed at such cheap hotels that you didn’t like the food and service there. There are different, if not affordable, then - yes, it’s better not to come. You suffer the same thing as the lonely Russian couch analysts suffer here - the lack of a reasonable approach to the event. This is because of the climate, geography and place of birth. But the Soviet Union is no more. The new generation of you (no, not you, but you) will replace, then we will make friends in another way. The fleet and army will be envious already.

    The United States has refused to fight for Turkey in Syrian Idlib. The United States does not intend to interfere with the situation on the ground in the Syrian province of Idlib, said Robert O'Brien, Assistant to the President for National Security.

    The assistant to the president of the USA stated that “there is no magic wand” that would stop the violence [in Syria], but [along with this] Washington is not going to send troops into the conflict, “which has no [relation to the USA],” TASS reports .

    Abaldet! Well, this is what they say, what they write: one country outsider Syria will demand from the second outsider Syria of the country that it forbids the sovereign country to protect its people from the barmaley! Either the translation of the primary sources is not accurate, or schizophrenia has spread to the leadership of Turkey ... I even came up with a name for this disease Americanovirus-Psychicus. And this "news" on VO is now being discussed ...

    Believe it or not, word for word in Ukraine they say the same thing about Russia and Donbas. "let them go and take their own"

    In Ukraine, they can say what they want. The opinion of Ukraine is not interesting to anyone.

    Ankara will demand from Moscow to stop the offensive of the Syrian army (article title)

    [i] We asked, so that they (the authorities of the Russian Federation) get the Syrian regime to immediately cease attacks and fulfill the terms of the ceasefire agreement. This would allow civilians to return home, to their native land. We asked (from the Russian Federation) so that the forces of the regime immediately departed from the M5 highway. And we will continue to ask for it (Minister of Defense of Turkey)

    Already in our media the word "ask" has become synonymous with the word "demand".
    This is more of a reader’s emotions. tongue

    The Turkish Ministry of Defense said that Turkish soldiers were ordered to take tough measures when attacking the posts of Syrian government forces.
    Who are the measures? To barmaley?

    ceasing attacks, fulfilling the terms of the ceasefire agreement
    this applies more to the Turks. For the entire time of the existence of the zone they cannot take control ............ or do not want to?

    Is this when it became historical? Enmity has always been historical, and this is normal relations between Russia and Turkey.

    Turkey is a member of NATO.
    After receiving the Su-24 plush from Erdogan, Putin turned on the rear.
    Nobody will drive anyone anywhere. :-)

    After the Su-24, Putin turned on economic pressure on Turkey, which cost her $ 20 billion, until an apology was brought. What are you talking about?
