s on rebel-held sectors and the shelling of government-held areas killed at least 17 people, including an entire family.

In his remarks, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu insists it is Moscow’s responsibility to stop the violence as Russia has been a staunch supporter of Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

’s forces in the civil war.

The Syrian government has been carrying out an offensive on the northwestern province of Idlib, the last rebel stronghold in the country, and the rebel-held parts of nearby Aleppo province. The fighting has displaced hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom fled to areas closer to the border with Turkey.

Dozens of fighters have been killed on both sides in recent days as festivities intensified. The fighting comes despite a new cessation of hostilities agreement between Russia and Turkey that went into effect earlier this month. Moscow and Ankara stand on opposing sides of the conflict in Syria.

"Russia is the guarantor of the (Syrian) regime," Cavusoglu tells a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland

. "Russia is obliged to stop this aggression. The situation in Idlib is our main focus because the regime has been increasing its aggression," he adds. "Already, 400,000 people have been displaced and moved toward our border."

Idlib is dominated by al-Qaeda-linked groups, but is also home to 3 million civilians. The United Nations

has warned of the growing risk of a humanitarian catastrophe along the Ottoman Turkish border.
