Turkish citizens can rest assured that the Turkish military will hold the Assad regime accountable for its attack on their soldiers in Idlib, Presidential Spokesperson İbrahim Kalın said Friday.

The advances have sent hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians fleeing toward the border with Turkey in the biggest single displacement of the nine-year war.
It has also upset the fragile cooperation between Ankara and Moscow, which back opposing sides in the conflict.
