TEHRAN, December 28 - Russia on Friday hailed as "positive" the Syrian army's entry into the key northern city of Manbij for the first time in six years after Kurds opened the gates.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - "Of course, this will help in stabilizing the situation. The enlargement of the zone under the control of government forces... is without doubt a positive trend," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Kurdish forces who were left exposed by a US pledge to pull out its own troops, have asked the Syrian regime for help to face a threatened Turkish offensive.
Peskov said the situation would be discussed Saturday during a visit to Moscow by the Turkish foreign affairs and defense ministers, to "clarify" the situation and "synchronize actions" between the two countries.
