Russia says Syria has right to chase rebels out of Idlib: agencies

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday the Syrian government had every right to chase militants out of the rebel-held enclave of Idlib and that talks on establishing humanitarian corridors there were ongoing. The Syrian province of Idlib and surrounding areas are the last major enclave held by rebels opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a close Russian ally. Syrian government forces "had the full right to protect its sovereignty and to drive out, liquidate the terrorist threat on its territory", Lavrov was cited as saying by the Interfax news agency.
