Turkish PM says increased attacks on Syria's Idlib to cause new migration wave

ANKARA

The Syrian regime’s intensifying attacks on the rebel-held Idlib province will spark a new migration wave, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said on Jan. 1, calling on Russia and Iran to warn Syrian authorities over the attacks.

Speaking to reporters after Friday prayers, Yıldırım also said the attacks would only damage the peace process in Syria.

Rebels this week launched a counter attack against Syrian government forces and their allies in Idlib.
