Turkish President Erdogan and US counterpart Trump discuss over phone Syria crisis, call for immediate halt to regime attacks in Idlib
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan listens as he meets with US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, US, November 13, 2019.
The situation in Syria has become tenser as Syrian regime leader Bashar al Assad intensifies his assault on Idlib backed by Moscow air power. Erdogan threatened to strike the regime forces if they did not return to the positions agreed in the Sochi deal before the end of February after 14 Turks were killed by Syrian regime shelling in Idlib this month.
After Russia accused Turkey of failing to "neutralise terrorists" in Idlib, Erdogan dismissed this claim and said Turkish forces would fight against any terrorist. In the speech on Saturday evening, Erdogan again criticised Moscow over its support for the Syrian regime, and its effort only to "ensure the regime's survival."
