Turkey suspected of sending weapons to the enemies of Russia and Syria

It should be noted that Ankara made this decision after an unsuccessful attempt to convince Moscow to end the escalation in order to prevent the influx of refugees into the republic. The Turkish side is ready to maintain its influence in to the northwest parts of Syria and strengthen its presence on military bases, created under an agreement with Russia on the de-escalation zone, said the interlocutor of the agency.

In February, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Ankara would help prevent attacks by militants against the Russian military base Khmeimim in Syria.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow would not allow "terror reserves" in Syria to remain in place of the de-escalation zones. The ministry said the Idlib demilitarized zone, which Turkey is responsible for in particular, has not started to function fully.
