Turkish-Russian differences on the horizon
ARK News: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to launch a military operation in Idlib province, if the attacks do not stop and if the situation in the region is not resolved immediately.
"Turkey will not hesitate to use military force to establish stability" in Syria, Erdogan said in a speech to a meeting of heads of Justice and Development Party (AKP) branches, pointing out that his country "cannot deal with a new influx of refugees."
He added: We will not remain and we cannot remain as a spectator about the situation in Idlib or in other regions of Syria.
On the other hand, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: Moscow does not agree with Erdogan's statements in which he declared Russia's non-compliance with the cease-fire agreement in Idlib.
He added that Russia is fully implementing its obligations in the region under the Sochi Agreements.
