Turkey Expresses Hope That Tehran Summit Will Prevent Idlib Offensive

Description

According to a report by Reuters, Turkey has expressed hopes that a summit with Iranian and Russian leaders in Tehran on Friday will avert a Syrian government offensive on the rebel-held Idlib and prevent an influx of refugees across the Turkish border. On Tuesday, Russia, an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, resumed airstrikes against insurgents in Idlib following weeks of bombardment by pro-Syrian forces in what many saw as a prelude to a full-scale offensive. The Hurriyet newspaper quoted Erdogan as saying, “We will take the situation to a positive point at this summit .... God willing, we will be able to hinder the Syrian government’s extremism in the region."
