Turkey says working with Iran, Russia to avoid Idlib 'disaster'
Tehran (KNA) - President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkey is working with Iran and Russia as the Syrian army is preparing for a decisive battle to drive terrorists out of the northern Idlib province.
Idlib shares borders with Turkey and is currently controlled by foreign-backed terrorists. With the Syrian army preparing to retake the last terrorist stronghold, there had been reports that Turkey tried to stave off the offensive.
Erdogan's affirmation of working with Russia and Iran on Thursday, however, signals an apparent U-turn in the face of Syria's insistence that the operation will go ahead despite US threats of a possible attack.
