They added that the heads of diplomatic departments confirmed the need to coordinate joint actions to stabilize the situation in the SAR, and to urgently comprehensively review the situation within the framework of the Astana format.
Let us recall that earlier the military command of the SAR officially confirmed the transfer of the second largest city of Syria – Aleppo – under the control of terrorists. At the same time, it was noted that the Syrian army is currently regrouping and preparing for a counteroffensive on the positions of the militants. Damascus has no doubt that control over Aleppo will be restored.
It is worth noting that not only terrorist militants but also pro-Turkish armed groups are participating in the offensive against the positions of Syrian government troops. In the first days of the offensive, it was actively supported artillery from Turkish military bases in the region. At the same time, official Ankara condemned the militants' offensive in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib, stating that it had nothing to do with it.
