Turkey allegedly asks for more time to persuade jihadists to leave Idlib buffer zone: Al-Watan

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor....
has allegedly called on the Syrian government to allow them more time to persuade the jihadist rebels to leave the Idlib buffer zone.

According to the Syrian daily al-Watan, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
and their allies have never retreated from the established demilitarized zone in northwestern Syria.

The daily further stated that Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, Hurras al-Deen and the Turkestan Islamic Party have reinforced their positions and hidden their heavy weapons, adding that the jihadist groups have decided to remain in the demilitarized zone in northeastern Lattakia, northwestern Hama, and southeastern, northern and southern Idlib.

The paper said that Ottoman Turkish intelligence has thus far been unsuccessful in persuading Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham to leave its positions in the demilitarized zone, adding that Ankara has called on Damascus via Moscow to delay any military operation and give them more time to do their undertakings with regard to the expulsion of the jihadists form the zone.
