US Special Envoy for Syria James Jeffrey warns that Syrian regime's assault on Idlib can lead an international crisis as thousands of people flee towards the Turkish border
A convoy of trucks transporting Syrians and their belongings drives through the village of al Mastuma, in the northern countryside of Syria's Idlib province on January 30, 2020.
The campaign has ratcheted up tensions between Moscow and Ankara. Turkey fears a fresh wave of migrants piling across its border and has a dozen observation posts in Idlib, part of a de-escalation agreement it says Russia is now violating. Smoke still billowed from some buildings in t he city on Thursday while the demolished exteriors of others tumbled onto streets emptied entirely of civilians.
"This is a regime that is unable to demonstrate effective control and revive economic activity, revive markets, and hold up the lira," said Sayigh.
