A summary of Ibrahim Kalin’s remarks by Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will speak with Russian president Vladimir Putin on the phone over the situation in Syria’s Idlib in the next couple of days, a Turkish presidential spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, said on August 21.
He further claimed that the closure or shifting of location of the 9th observation point in the Idlib zone is “out of question”. This is the point near Morekt, which was encircled by the Syrina Army earlier on the same day.
