Turkey said Friday that it did not accept Russia's "excuse" that it had no ability to stop the Syrian regime's continued bombardments in the last rebel bastion of Idlib.

"In Syria, who are the regime's guarantors? Russia and Iran," Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told state news agency Anadolu in a televised interview.

"Thus we do not accept the excuse that 'We cannot make the regime listen to us'," he said.

His comments came as Turkey disagreed with Russia earlier this week after Moscow claimed a new ceasefire had been secured in the province following weeks of regime bombardments -- a claim that was denied by Ankara.

Didn't Russia say there's a ceasefire?

Will Turkey gonna use the S-400?

Russia launched a military intervention in support of the regime in 2015,

And 4 years later remains mired. Another Afghanistan? You'd think Russia would have learned from the fading US empire's ongoing intervention failures, how their costs are accelerating the demise of the country. Russian citizens must be willing to pay the costs so Putin and his oligarchs can re-establish the empire.

Turkey disagreed with Russia

Historical empires clashing redux.

Why describe men who died fighting extremists as "pro-regime"?

Otherwise MSM would't publish the story.

Also interesting to note that even MSM admit the de-facto alliance between "jihadists and allied rebels". Shows the true colors of the "democratic rebels".
