He also criticized the Russian airstrike on Turkish allied rebels in Idlib province in northern Syria on Monday. The attack shows that “lasting peace and tranquility in the region is not desirable,” Erdogan said. According to activists, Russian warplanes have attacked militants from the Islamist group Failak al-Sham. At least 78 rebels were killed in the attack.

Turkey has repeatedly entered Syria. The last time he took action against allied Syrian militants in October 2019 was against the Kurdish YPG in northern Syria and it has occupied border areas for some time.

Ankara has reached an agreement with Russia, as an ally of the Syrian government, and the United States on the withdrawal of YPG fighters from the territory between the border towns of Tel Abad and Ras al-Aino.

Turkey continues to accuse Russia and the United States of not complying with the agreement. Ankara is accused of sending Syrian fighters to Nagorno-Karabakh. Turkey denies it.
