Air strike by Syrian government forces kills 29 Turkish soldiers, bringing military’s death toll in February to 50

Turkey, faced with a possible new wave of Syrian migrants and dozens more dead Turkish soldiers in Idlib, will no longer stop Syrian refugees from reaching Europe, a senior Turkish official said as President Tayyip Erdogan chaired an emergency meeting.

In anticipation of the imminent arrival of refugees from Idlib, Turkish police, coast guard and border security officials have been ordered to stand down on refugees’ land and sea crossings, the Turkish official told Reuters. Turkey has urged Europe to do more to ease the crisis in Idlib, and last year Erdogan said his government could “open the gates” for migrants to Europe if it failed to act.

Turkish and Russian officials held a third round of talks in Ankara on Thursday. Two previous rounds have not yielded a ceasefire deal.

I sure hope so - Trudeau doesnt have the right to just pull sh*t like this while lying to CDNs that we weren’t paying for this! My tax dollars......GG. Sure but not these 2 after the way they addressed our Queen. Unforgivable. 'Government reveals'? Spending recklessly. What does Trudeau care, it's not his money. Wouldn't be surprised after he loses the next election, Trudeau moves to the Cayman Islands and gives us the royal finger and laughs in our face? 🤔
