"The statement by the Turkish Foreign Minister Chavushoglu about the allegedly" Russia's failure to fulfill its promises ", as well as the threat to unleash a military operation in northern Syria, was perplexing in the Russian Ministry of Defense," he said.

He recalled that Russia has fully complied with and continues to implement the provisions of the Sochi Memorandum of October 22.

“Early breeding of the conflicting parties was ensured. A joint patrol with the Turkish armed forces is being carried out on the border of Syria, ”Konashenkov said.

As the representative of the department noted, thanks to the implemented set of measures, it was possible to significantly stabilize the situation in the region.

“A statement by the Turkish Foreign Minister calling for the outbreak of hostilities can only aggravate the situation in the north of the Syrian Arab Republic, and not to resolve it, as recorded in the joint Memorandum signed by the presidents of Russia and Turkey,” he stressed.

Earlier, Cavusoglu said that Russia and the United States are not fulfilling the agreement on Syria.

As the minister noted, Turkey may resume military operations in the SAR, Moscow and Washington will not fulfill the agreement with Ankara on the northern part of Syria.
