(MENAFN) On Saturday, Turkish communications direct posted a statement on his Twitter account in which he expressed his country's call on all hostile parties in Idlib's province to maintain their vows concerning the fulfillment of stability in the province, as an attempt to honor the Sochi agreement with Russia regarding this issue.
Fahrettin Altun said "President [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan expressed his concerns about Idlib to President (Vladimir) Putin in a phone call. Russia's support for the Assad regime worsens the already terrible humanitarian situation," adding that "Turkey is faced with 1 million refugees along its border with Syria which heightens security risks".
He further said "We made an agreement with Russia in Sochi and we are trying to honor that agreement. We will not shy away from protecting our own forces against any threats. Nobody should test our resolve," while talking about the Turkish-Russian Souchi agreement, highlighting the importance of the conflict sides to keep on their work toward achieving the settlement in Idlib.
Altun also included "We have been counting on Russian cooperation. We will seek to secure our national security regardless."
