Syria's top diplomat said 'we hope that our military and the Turkish military do not fight' as violence escalates in jihadi-dominated Idlib province.
Syria's top diplomat thanked Russia, Iran and China for their support in the country's civil war, but warned Turkey and the United States should be among the first international powers to withdraw.
Rebels and jihadis that once claimed most of Syria have since largely been contained to northwestern Idlib province, where Turkish observations posts have been caught up in an escalation of violence in recent weeks. Muallem told reporters that"we hope that our military and the Turkish military do not fight, this is our principled stance," according to Reuters. He added:"What we are fighting is terrorists, especially in Idlib, which is Syrian territory—part of our country.
Wang called for a strengthening in bilateral ties and laid out three points for moving forward with a resolution in Syria—"speed up the political settlement,""anti-terrorism efforts should not be relaxed" and"steadily carry out economic reconstruction"—in a readout shared by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
