| Subject: Statist Insanity Continues: Russia Lashes Out as Turkey, U.S. and Israel All Clash with Syria Troops Thu Feb 13, 2020 7:28 pm | |
| Russia has lashed out against international powers targeting or disrupting the Syrian armed forces' operations across the country as Damascus' efforts to restore control were met with resistance from at home and abroad. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova told reporters Wednesday that Turkey is "disregarding its commitments" to a ceasefire deal designed to ease tensions between the Syrian military and opposition groups in northwestern Idlib province, the last area of the country under the control of rebels and jihadis. As Syrian troops pressed closer into Idlib, a series of deadly clashes have erupted between them and Turkish forces deployed to observation posts there. As per the September 2018 agreement with Moscow, Ankara was tasked with facilitating the disarmament and withdrawal of jihadi forces such as the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham coalition, but Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused Syrian and Russian forces of targeting civilians in its air raids. Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin, denied this in a statement Wednesday, arguing that "these are strikes against terrorists and not against civilians," according to the state-run Tass Russian News Agency. He called on Turkey to adhere to their arrangement.
