Russia, Turkey to create demilitarised zone in Syria's Idlib
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan have agreed to create a demilitarised zone in Syria's Idlib province to separate the government and rebel forces. All heavy weaponry and rebel groups will be withdrawn from the zone by October 10. This is aimed at averting a major offensive in Idlib, one of Syria's last rebel strongholds.
