Russian and Turkish leaders called for sharply raised tensions in Syria’s opposition stronghold of Idlib to “normalise” yesterday, after deadly attacks which threatened to bring Moscow and Ankara to the brink of conflict.In a phone call yesterday, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasised that their militaries need to better co-ordinate regarding Idlib, the Kremlin said.
They agreed to meet in person as soon as possible, the Turkish government said. “Serious concern was expressed over the escalation in Idlib that has resulted in numerous victims, including Turkish servicemen,” the Kremlin statement said of the call. “Both sides emphasised the necessity of undertaking additional measures to normalise the situation in north-western Syria,” it said. The Kremlin later said Putin and Erdogan could meet in Moscow on March 5 or 6.
