Russia hopes Turkey will “refrain” from launching an offensive in northern Syria, a diplomatic spokesperson says, after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan renewed threats of a military campaign targeting Kurdish “terrorists.”
“We hope that Ankara will refrain from actions that could lead to a dangerous deterioration of the already difficult situation in Syria,” Russia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova says in a statement.
