Turkey warns against Syrian govt offensive on Idlib

Turkey's Foreign Minister has warned against a possible Syrian government offensive on the last remaining opposition stronghold.

 

Mevlut Cavusoglu, who was in Moscow on Friday for talks with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, said that Russia and Turkey should work to separate opposition groups from "terrorists" in the northwestern province of Idlib. He warned against an offensive there, saying that it will cause a "humanitarian catastrophe."

 

Lavrov, however, indicated that Moscow is losing patience with the militants, who often target government positions from there.
