The agreement urges to "cease all military actions along the line of contact in the Idlib de-escalation area starting from 00:01 of March 6, 2020."

President Erdoğan has paid a visit to Moscow to discuss the recent escalation in northwestern Syria.

"Turkey's operation in Idlib is being carried out within the framework of the right to self-defense," the presidential spokesperson told US diplomats.

Dozens of people have been probed and investigated over social media posts after the latest military escalation in Syria.

Addressing the Damascus government, the President has said, "If they don't withdraw outside the boundaries set by Turkey, they won't have heads on their shoulders."

Following Turkey’s downing of two aircraft of Syrian army, the airspace over Idlib has been shut down. While Russia's Defense Ministry says that it cannot guarantee the security of Turkey’s aircraft, Putin says “they do not plan to go to war with anyone.”
