Erdogan’s terrorists block the road in front of joint patrols on Aleppo-Lattakia Highway

The Turkish-backed terrorist groups deployed in the southern countryside of Idlib continued their criminal activities on the international Aleppo-Lattakia road, blocking it and preventing any attempt to open it to traffic.

SANA correspondent stated that terrorist groups supported by the Turkish regime intercepted the patrols scheduled to run on the international road Aleppo-Latakia, taking dozens of civilians as human shields and using them to light tires and erect barriers and earthen berms on the road, especially in the Ariha region in Idlib countryside.
Video clips posted on social media websites showed armed terrorist groups igniting tires and sheltering behind dozens of civilians, to prevent any vehicle from passing on the road.
Terrorist groups known as being affiliated to the Turkish regime are deployed on both sides of the road and have been occupying the Aleppo-Lattakia road for more than 5 years and preventing the passage of vehicles.

In a statement published today on the website of the channel “Russia Today”, the Russian Ministry of Defense indicated the start of the first joint patrol with the Turkish regime forces on part of the international “M4” road in Idlib region, pointing out that the patrolling path was shortened due to the deliberate and planned road blocking by terrorist groups in Idlib countryside.
The Ministry stated that the patrolling path was scheduled from the town of Tranba west of Saraqib to the village of Ain al-Hour in the west, but “the terrorists prevented this by using the civilians, including women and children, as human shields and forced them to gather in crowds and sit on the road.”
On March 5 in Moscow, Russia and the Turkish regime reached an agreement stipulating the cessation of hostilities in Idlib at the current status and the start of running joint patrols on the international road Aleppo-Lattakia as well as emphasizing on commitment to Syrian unity and sovereignty and continuing to combat terrorism in Syria.
