Turkey seeks to make Idlib ceasefire permanent
[ALMASDARNEWS] Ottoman Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar gave a statement in Ankara on Friday about the conclusion of ceasefire talks with Russia. The talks held in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
came after an agreement was reached between Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
and His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
on March 5th in Moscow.

At the end of a week of negotiations, Akar said that key documents have been signed regarding the ceasefire.

"The first implementation of [the ceasefire] will be seen on the M4 highway on the fifteenth of the month with a joint patrol. Join coordination centers will then be established and activities will be managed together with these centers. Our requests and demands on this issue have been made very clear many times by our president. Our desire there, our main goal, is to make this ceasefire permanent as soon as possible," said the minister.

Although the ceasefire is said to be holding, president Erdogan has threatened further military action should it be breached.

...Our desire there, our main goal, is to make this ceasefire permanent as soon as possible," said the minister.

Turkey already annexed northern Cyprus in its faux "Republic of Northern Cyprus" and everyone sees through this gambit. Syria is a lot stronger than Cyprus.
