Turkey summons ambassadors over Syria's Idlib strikes: sources

Turkey's foreign ministry on Tuesday summoned the Russian and Iranian ambassadors to Ankara after accusing the Syrian regime of stepping up its offensive on key rebel-held areas, according to Turkish diplomatic sources. The strikes targeted moderate opposition forces in Idlib province near the Turkish border, according to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who warned it could torpedo talks aimed at ending the war. "Regime forces are striking moderate opposition with the pretext of fighting against Al-Nusra (Front)," Cavusoglu was quoted as saying by the official Anadolu news agency, referring to the former Al-Qaeda affiliate.
