A Turkish security source stated to Reuters that Turkey has no plans to withdraw its forces from the observation posts in Idlib, northwestern Syria although three of these sites are existed in areas controlled by the regime forces now.

The source added that there are no problems with the Turkish military personnel in Saraqeb, and that every observation center in Idlib is equipped for defense.

The source pointed out that the joint patrols with Russia in northern Syria were stopped due to the weather conditions, not because of the attacks in Idlib.

The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had given the regime forces a period until the end of February to withdraw to the Turkish control points in Idlib, threatening to launch a military operation in the region.
