Turkey is doing ‘its best’ to prevent attacking Russia in Syria
ANKARA, Turkey – Turkey is doing everything it can to prevent militant attacks on the Russian air base at Himeymim in Syria, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday.
“We are joining all efforts to prevent attacks on the Russian military base in Hymenim. Our military agencies act in a coordinated way,” Erdogan said before a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Still, according to the leader of Turkey, at the moment, the Turkish drones did not register any equipment that represented some immediate danger in the region.
The statement is a response to concerns raised following recent attacks by the extremist organization known as * al-Nusra Front against positions of the Syrian Army in the de-escalating zone of Idlib. According to Moscow, the situation in the area would pose a major threat to Himeymim’s Russian base, as well as civilians and the Syrian military in nearby regions.
