Erdogan demanded during the parliamentary bloc of his party, the regime forces "to withdraw beyond the lines of the Turkish control points by the end of February, otherwise we will act", and said, "If necessary, the Turkish armed forces will operate by air and land and will carry out a military operation if necessary in Idlib."

He added, "When our soldiers or allies are attacked, we will respond directly, without warning, and regardless of who carried out the attack."

The Turkish President indicated that he told Russian President Vladimir Putin that the forces of the Syrian regime must withdraw from the borders of the "Sochi Agreement", and if these forces do not withdraw, Turkey will guarantee this.

Erdogan said that the attack on the Turkish army in Syria was intentional and considered a turning point, stressing that the attack on Turkish soldiers in Syria would be the beginning of a new stage for Turkey in Syria as he claimed.

Erdogan claimed that the Turkish army is present in Syria under the Adana Agreement, which allows him to conduct military operations there.

Erdogan said, "All the forces in Syria take the fight against ISIS as an excuse to implement their plans, pointing out that the understandings in Idlib, northern Syria, are not being applied effectively, and the world is still standing idly by about what is happening there."

The Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has confirmed that Turkey has not honored its obligations in Syria and the transfer of mercenaries to Libya.
