Turkish and Russian troops began patrolling Syria’s northwestern Idlib province on Friday as part of an agreement signed last year, according to Turkey’s Defense Ministry.
The jihadist-controlled province has been protected from a major offensive by the Syrian regime following the September agreement between Damascus ally Russia and rebel supporter Turkey, which included establishing a demilitarized zone around the region.
“Today Russian patrols will start outside of Idlib in the border region [and] Turkish armed forces’ patrols will begin in the demilitarised zone,” Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar told state news agency Anadolu.
“There were restrictions on the use of Idlib and Afrin regions’ airspace, but these have been lifted from today.”
Idlib is the last major region held by rebels in Syria and is controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a group led by Syria’s former Al-Qaeda affiliate.
HTS took administrative control of the whole of the Idlib region in January.
Despite being on opposing sides of the conflict, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian leader Vladimir Putin have been working closely in an effort to end the war.
An AFP correspondent on Friday morning saw a column of around 10 armored vehicles on a road in the zone in the western countryside of Aleppo province.

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type
on a variety of websites for about a year and am nervous
about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content
into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
Great article, totally what I wanted to find.
I believe everything posted was actually very logical.
But, consider this, what if you added a little content?
I ain’t saying your information is not solid.,
however suppose you added something that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Turkish, Russian troops patrol Syria’s Idlib –
Asia Times is a little boring. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news headlines to grab people interested.
You might add a related video or a picture or two
to grab readers interested about everything’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
