Erdogan Asked Putin To Step Aside With Syria

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to stand aside in Syria.

According to Reuters, he wants Russia to let Turkey fight Syrian government forces alone.

The Syrian government forces are reinforced by Russian air power and are attacking the northwestern province of Idlib.

The Syrian Observatory war monitor said the city of Saraqeb sits on an important road.

The airstrikes are part of a major assault to capture the province, the last remaining territory held by rebels.
