According to reports, the Turkish Ministry of Defense has not commented on this statement. However, the source said that the Turkish army was attacked near its observation point in Kansafra, Idlib province, which killed 13 Turkish soldiers and injured several others.

Recently, Turkish-Syrian tensions have escalated, and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated in early February that Turkey has failed to fulfill several key obligations aimed at promoting the settlement of the Syrian-Israelb issue. Turkish Vice President Okey denied this.
Turkish President Erdogan has announced that he will hold a Quartet summit with Russian, French and German leaders on March 5 to discuss the situation in Syria's Idlib province.
