Russian police set up a checkpoint near the Turkish post east of Morik in Hama countryside

ARK News: Russian military police have set up a checkpoint just one kilometer from the Turkish observation post No. 9, located around the city of Morik in the northern countryside of Hama, according to Russian media sites and published pictures of that point.

Pro-regime accounts on Friday published photos showing Assad's elements arrival at the border of the Turkish checkpoint east of Morik in the northern countryside of Hama, after entering the city two days ago, according to Hama activists surrounded in the area.

Assad's forces began entering the city of Morik on Friday in the northern countryside of Hama, closer to the Turkish observation post stationed east of the city, which has been completely besieged by the regime in the region, amid Turkish statements denying its intention to withdraw.

The spokesman for the Turkish presidency, Ibrahim Qaln, said on Wednesday, that Turkey will not withdraw any of its checkpoints in Idlib and Hama and will not change its positions in a reference to the checkpoint in the city of Morik, which has been besieged by the regime and its allies.
