Erdogan announces summit with Russia, France, Germany on Idlib

Turkey has threatened ‘imminent’ operation in Syria after its troops have come under fire from regime forces.

“We will come together on March 5 and discuss these issues,” Erdogan said in a televised speech to his party supporters in the western province of Izmir, following a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and a teleconference with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday.

Macron and Merkel on Friday “expressed their willingness to meet President Putin and Turkish President Erdogan to find a political solution to the crisis”, the German chancellor’s office said. The Turkish military retaliated and destroyed 21 regime targets following “the despicable attack”, it added.Ahead of the attack, Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar spoke by phone with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Shoigu, to discuss ways of finding a solution to the violence in Idlib, the ministry said.

A key ally of President Bashar al-Assad, Russia has accused Ankara of failing to act against “terrorist groups in Idlib”, which Turkey denies. Ankara has warned of a humanitarian catastrophe and fears an influx of refugees from Idlib as it is already home to 3.6 million Syrians.
