Turkey calls for ground operations in Syria

The U.S. State Department condemned the airstrikes, blaming the Syrian regime headed by President Bashar al-Assad for the attack on Azaz.

As the fighting in and around Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city, intensified, aerial bombardments by the Russian air force are reported to have hit at least two hospitals and a school on Monday.

What does the law say about bombing hospitals? “And then it is referring Turkey to the UN Security Council to take measures for its border security”, Davutoglu said.

Moreover, Assad, who was not present at the Munich negotiations, said on February 15 that honoring the truce would be “difficult” and his government will continue to battle any group that has taken up arms against it, insisting all such groups are “terrorists”.

Russian Federation and Syrian regime uses PYD to change demography of Aleppo, forcing thousands of people to flee their hometown, Davutoglu said.

Turkey has been hinting it may join the fight in the Aleppo region to stop Syrian Kurds from seizing strategic territory there near the Turkish border.

“The destruction of the hospital leaves the local population of around 40,000 people without access to medical services in an active zone of conflict”, MSF Syria operations chief Massimiliano Rebaudengo said.

A report from, September 2015 by the Commission of Inquiry on Syria called “Assault on medical care in Syria” listed an appalling litany of attacks on hospitals and medical units over the past four years as well as numerous examples of the sick and wounded being deliberately denied medical assistance, primarily by government forces and pro-government militias.

Mego Terzian, MSF’s France president, said he thought that either Russian Federation or Syrian government forces were responsible.

“We hear about them requesting a ceasefire within a week”.

The foreign minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault, said the attacks “could constitute war crimes”, adding: “Attacks against health facilities in Syria by the regime or its supporters are unacceptable and must stop immediately”.

Kurdish-led forces had recently gained ground along the border with Turkey at the expense of Syrian rebels, who have been struggling to hold ground amid the massive Russian-backed government offensive.

KURDISH militia forces continued their advance against Turkish-backed Islamist rebels in Syria yesterday in defiance of threats from Ankara.

The surrounding area was strewn with twisted metal, cinderblocks and detritus from the damaged building.

The Turkish military said its artillery had returned fire into Syria again on Tuesday – the fourth day in a row of shelling.

At least 14 people were killed on Monday in the northern Syrian town of Azaz, the last rebel stronghold before the border with Turkey, when missiles hit a children’s hospital and a school sheltering refugees.

The strikes come after the United States and Russian Federation announced Friday a temporary cease-fire agreement to allow humanitarian aid into Syrian cities, which could start in the coming days.

Moscow says its military intervention has targeted the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria jihadist group and other “terrorists”, but rights groups say Russia’s raids have caused disproportionately high civilian casualties.

The UN envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, is in the capital, Damascus, to discuss the implementation of the “cessation of hostilities” – which could include the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid to besieged areas.
