Baku / 28.02.20 / Turan: As a result of the bombing and shelling of the Turkish military in the Syrian province of Idlib on February 27, 33 soldiers were killed and 36 more wounded. Erdogan held an emergency meeting with the military.
Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu appealed to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to support Turkey, Anadolu agency reported.
The Turkish side believes that the bombing was carried out by Russian aircraft, supporting the Syrian government troops.
According to Reuters, citing two representatives of the Turkish security forces, the Turkish armed forces respond to an air raid with artillery attacks on the positions of the Syrian army.

Turkish authorities see what Russia is and how Russians act," added the US Permanent Representative. -02D-
