Armed forces of Turkey and Russia carry out fifth joint patrol by air and ground vehicles on M4 motorway in Syria’s Idlib province
Last month, Ankara and Moscow agreed on a protocol urging parties to"cease all military actions along the line of contact in the Idlib de-escalation area” starting March 6.
Turkish and Russian military forces have carried out another joint patrol along a key highway in northwestern Syria, Turkey’s Defence Ministry said on Tuesday. The M4 highway, also known as the Aleppo-Al Hasakah road, is about 30 km from Turkey's southern border. The protocol said joint Turkish-Russian patrols would begin on March 15 along the M4 highway from the settlement of Trumba – 2 km to the west of Saraqib – to the settlement of Ain al Havr.
