Tehran 06 March_Syria’s war-torn northwestern Idlib province has reportedly witnessed “rare calm” following the implementation of a ceasefire agreement allowing the government to secure two strategic routes running through the province.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_A military source speaking to Russia’s RIA news agency on Friday said the truce, which was implemented at 00:01 am, is being observed and that the situation is “calm” in the province.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed to a truce in the province on Thursday.
The reports of calm were also echoed by the AFP and the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
SOHR reported that an exchange of fire took place between the two sides before dawn, but that it did not lead to any casualties or any further clashes.
According to the agreement, joint Russian-Turkish patrols will secure a six-kilometer-wide corridor along the M4 highway connecting the two government-held provinces of Latakia and Aleppo.
