According to NTV, Erdogan “stated that the Assad regime’s attack on Turkish military forces sent to the region to prevent conflicts in Idlib hit a joint effort to maintain peace in Syria.”
The Turkish leader also "emphasized that Turkey will continue to use its right to self-defense against such attacks in the toughest way."
In addition, the parties discussed bilateral relations and the situation in Libya.
According to information from the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of the warring parties in Syria, on the night of February 3, Turkish troops moved inside the Idlib de-escalation zone without notifying the Russian side, and came under fire from the Syrian military.
According to recent reports, eight people were killed as a result of the shelling, three of whom were civilians.
