Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar and his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu agreed to work together to prevent ceasefire violations in northern Syria in a phone call, Jerusalem Post reports.
Earlier this week, Turkey expressed to Russia’s envoy its objections and concerns about a recent flare-up of violence in northwest Syria, after Russian jets hit towns near the Turkish border and a hospital in the region.
Akar also said he agreed with Shoigu to work together to bring ‘terrorist groups’ in northern Syria under control.
