Russia tells Turkey to do more to clear Syria's Idlib of militants

None

Russia demanded Turkey do more to tackle militants in Syria's Idlib province and fulfil promises it made as part of a deal with Moscow last year, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.

 

Turkey and Russia, the Syrian government's principal foreign ally, brokered a deal in September to create a demilitarised zone in the northwest Idlib region that would be evacuated of all heavy weapons and jihadist fighters.
