Haaretz reported that Turkey has dispatched troops to Idlib, Syria to reinforce its presence in the province. The reinforcements come despite the Turkish defense minister’s recent warnings against a military solution.
Radio Sputnik discussed the possibility that Turkey could help reach a ceasefire in Idlib with Ferrada de Noli, founder and chairman of Swedish Doctors for Human Rights.
Sputnik: What are your thoughts on the possibility that Turkey could help reach a ceasefire in Idlib?
Ferrada de Noli: I’m doubtful whether that would be possible, because the core of the terrorist forces, which are in this constellation of the jihadist opposition to the Syrian government, have said that they are essentially determined to fight to the bitter end. So the possibilities of the Turkish government are only constricted to their forces, which they have been supporting, and more closely to their own borders.
Idlib is a huge territory about 60% of which is controlled by the jihadist forces, which are associated with the core of the al-Qaeda* organization operating in the area. I don’t say that it’s not possible at all to reach a ceasefire under a political agreement, but in that political agreement, other powers, also intervening in this conflict, have to intervene; it’s not that clear in the media report.
You have the US, France and the UK, which have supported, founded and armed these rebel groups from different factions. They will have to stop their support for these forces to make that possibility occur.
