Turkish-Russian joint patrol west of Kobani

The joint patrol launched from the village of Ashma, west of Kobani, on the Syrian-Turkish border.

The patrol is scheduled to tour the villages of Ashma, Garkali, Qaran, Dekmadash, Saliba, Khorkhorkhori, Popan, Svetk, Tel Sha'ir, Ezaa, Sussan, Qula, Qara Gui, Binder, Mashko and Jabnah, and then return to finish their tour in the village of Ashma, where Turkish armored vehicles will enter Turkish territory, and the Russian military police return to its bases.

Participating in the patrol four armored vehicles on each side, in addition to two Russian helicopters.

This is the first time that a joint patrol has been conducted on the border in Kobani province after Turkey refrained from taking joint patrols twice, on the third and 13th of this month, and refused to go out twice in the territory of Al-Jazeera as well, in protesting against the recent escalation of regime forces and Russia in Idlib.

Turkey resumed patrols with the Russian side about a week ago when it took part in a patrol that took place in Ad-Dirbêsiyê countryside.

Russia was conducting patrols on its own when Turkish forces refrained from leaving.
