Russia considers Turkey’s possible military operation in Syria unwise

Russia considers Turkey’s possible military operation in Syria unwise as it could aggravate and destabilize the situation, Russian envoy to Syria Alexander Lavrentyev said Wednesday.
Lavrentyev also said that Moscow no longer considers Geneva a suitable place for talks between Syrians, according to the TASS agency.

The Russian envoy was in the Kazakh capital Nur-Sultan on Wednesday for talks with Turkey, Iran, the Syrian government, and opposition forces.
Ankara says it needs to act in Syria because Washington and Moscow have broken promises to push Kurdish-majority group YPG 30km (18 miles) from the border after a 2019 Turkish offensive, and says attacks from YPG-controlled areas are increased.
