Turkey, Germany Agree on  Initiative to End Russia-Backed  Attacks on Syria’s Aleppo

ANKARA - Turkey and Germany agreed to launch a diplomatic initiative for ending Russian backed military operations in Aleppo of Syria, the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Monday. Turkey and Germany would launch diplomatic initiative together for compliance of every side to 2254 resolution of United Nations Security Council, in a bid to “end Russian and other force’s attacks,” on Aleppo, the Turkish prime minister said in a joint press conference with his visiting German counterpart Angela Merkel. “Inhumane attacks on Aleppo should end,” said Davutoglu, accusing “Russia and other forces of supporting Syrian regime of being insincere.” “Russia has caused civilian deaths. There is a tragedy in Aleppo,” he added. There are some 30,000 Syrians waiting near Turkish border fleeing the Russian-backed air strikes, according to Davutoglu. Merkel, for her part, said “thousands of people are exposed to Russian bombardment.” She recalled that Russia earlier agreed on UN Security Council’ s resolution of 2452, saying all parties pledged to end any attacks against civilians. Turkey and Germany also agreed on an action plan which aims to support Syrian refugees fleeing civil war in their homeland, also prevent illegal crossings of them in Turkish-European border.(Xinhua)
