After killing Turkish soldiers in Idlib, Turkish-Russian joint patrol postponed east of Kobani

A joint patrol between the Turkish occupation forces and the Russian military police was scheduled to go out on the Syrian-Turkish border east of the city of Kobani, in implementation of the understandings of the Sochi Summit, which brought together Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish Recep Tayyip Erdogan on October 22 last year.

However, the patrol was postponed after the Turkish side refused to go out in protest against the Syrian regime’s bombardment of Turkish forces in the Russian province of Idlib, killing 4 soldiers of the Turkish occupation army and wounding 9 others, according to the statement of the Turkish Ministry of Defense.

Six Russian armored vehicles, accompanied by two military helicopters, waited on the border east of Kobani at the village of Gharib (14 km) for more than an hour the entry of the Turkish occupation armored vehicles into the Syrian territories to start running the patrol, but the Turkish military leaders told the Russian side that they would not go out in the patrol.

The Russian armored vehicles returned to their bases in Kobani, while sources told the Hawar News Agency that the leadership of the Russian Reconciliation Center at Hemeimim base will hold a meeting today to discuss the recent developments on Syrian lands and the bombing of Turkish forces in Idlib, along with the issue of conducting joint patrols with the Turkish side in NE, regions of Syria.
