Turkey worried over Syria attacks ahead of truce

“Both during and in the aftermath of such intervention, not only Syria but we will all lose”, he warned, urging the Turkish government to drop military option in favor of political settlement.

The terrorist group Daech, formerly called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (EIIL), raging in Syria where fighting government troops, gaining a reputation as one of the cruelest terrorist organizations.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Thursday that the cessation of hostilities agreement in Syria, which begins on Saturday, will not be binding for Turkey if the country’s security is threatened.

At a news conference Tuesday, Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said that Defense Secretary Ashton Carter had a large “dose of skepticism” on whether Russian Federation would live up to the agreements in the proposed truce.

He says cease-fire monitors will work to improve the way they verify incidents and prevent them from escalating. The only two other such militias are the Abdallah Azzam Brigades, an armed group that has carried out joint attacks with the Nusra Front, and The Army of Emigrants and Supporters, a group affiliated with the extremists.

The cease-fire is to go into effect on midnight Friday. President Bashar Assad’s government uses the term “terrorists” to refer to all rebels, militants and armed opposition against Damascus.

He admitted the dispute over the YPG had caused tensions between Turkey and the USA – key North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies – but said Washington was now becoming more cautious in its support of the group.

But the group which claimed the attack, the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK), said the bomber was a homegrown Turkish Kurd named Abdulbaki Somer with the nom de guerre Zinar Raperin.

Under the last five years of Assad’s presidency, since an uprising first took root in Dara’a in March of 2011, between 250,000 and 370,000 citizens have been killed.

“The main thing at the current stage is that the West and Russian Federation have managed to coordinate their plans for the peaceful solution of the Syrian crisis”.

Assisted by the Syrian army – that has along with popular forces and Hezbollah conquered nearly all militant-held regions in Eastern, Southern, Western and Northwestern Aleppo province – and Russian air support, the Kurdish forces fighting against the terrorists in North-Northeast Aleppo province have been making striking advances against the al-Nusra, Ahrar al-Sham and ISIS terrorists in February.

Salem Al Meslet says the alliance known as the High Negotiations Committee is holding open meetings in the Saudi capital of Riyadh and is seeking guarantees and clarifications from the United States about the mechanism for the implementation of the agreement.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has actively pursued diplomacy over the situation in Syria.

“It is not in our nation’s interests to continue these tensions”, he said.
