Erdogan gave Putin an ultimatum on Syria.

As part of a telephone conversation between the presidents of Turkey and Russia, the Turkish leader said that in order to avoid a major military conflict in Syria, for which Ankara is ready, Russia must fulfill certain conditions. We are talking about the transfer to the jihadists of the territories previously liberated by the Syrian army in Idlib and Aleppo, and the actual return to the original conditions of the Sochi agreement - Erdogan refused to consider other options.

“Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in a conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, called the condition for peace in Syria, RIA Novosti reports.

“Our president noted that the settlement in Idlib should be based on the full implementation of the Sochi agreement” - Administration of the President of Turkey

It is reported that both presidents in a dialogue expressed their commitment to all the agreements that they reached earlier. ”- cites the publication "Lenta.ru".

 Nevertheless, experts pay attention to the fact that the Turkish president cannot set any conditions for Russia, since the Turkish side systematically violated all agreements concluded with Russia.

“A few days ago, the Turkish military attacked Russian bombers and a reconnaissance aircraft over Idlib. It was the Turkish troops that did it ... The best that Erdogan can do is make the terrorists surrender, since only in this case any clashes can be avoided. Ankara at the moment is absolutely in no position to pose any ultimatums to Russia. ”, - the expert marks.
