As noted by the official representative of the Russian Ministry, Maria Zakharova, Moscow is concerned about the outbreaks of tension in the areas of the Syrian-Turkish border, which are controlled by Ankara.
“We consider it necessary to recall that we are talking about the territory of Syria, which ultimately should return to the control of Damascus,” she emphasized.
Earlier, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the explosion in the Syrian city of Afrin, which killed several dozen people.
On April 23, the Russian Foreign Ministry noted Turkey’s efforts to oust militants from the M4 highway area in the Syrian province of Idlib and are counting on the completion of work to separate the opposition and terrorists in the region.
