Moscow Agreement
After the clashes between the Turkish army and the Syrian army in Idlib in February, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan went to Moscow and asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree a truce.
The following resolutions were signed in the ceasefire signed on 5 March:
1- Stop all military activities in Idlib starting from March 6.
2- Opening a security corridor 6 kilometers north and 6 kilometers south of the Aleppo-Latakia highway (M4)
3- Russian-Turkish patrols to begin on 15 March along the security corridor opened.
Tension grows as patrolling began
In recent days, however, al-Nusra, Tehrir El Damascus (HTŞ) and many groups closed the road and opposed the patrol.
Upon the tension experienced in the past days, the Turkish state sent its police force to the region. The HTŞ had deployed its armed members against the Turkish police.
