If agreements over the last major rebel enclave in the country continue to be violated, Ankara will change its plan of action in northwestern Syria, Turkish defense minister warned.
Turkey and Russia brokered a ceasefire for Idlib where Syrian government forces backed by Russian warplanes is waging a fierce assault to capture the region from the anti-government militants.
“If the agreement kept being violated, we have Plan B and Plan C. We, on every occasion, say ‘do not force us, otherwise our Plan B and Plan C are ready’.” Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said in an interview on 9 February 2020.
According to a 2018 deal with Russia, Turkey set up 12 observation posts in Idlib, and Turkish security sources said that three of them have now been encircled by pro-government forces of Syria.
