Russia expects Afrin to be handed over
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov suggested that Afrin, which the TAF and Turkiye-backed FSA elements had taken from the PKK, should be given to the Syrian regime.
Moscow hopes Turkiye will return Afrin under the Syrian regime control, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday.
"President Erdoğan has never said that Turkiye wants to occupy Afrin. We always proceed from the fact that the easiest way to normalize the situation in Afrin now that Turkish representatives say that the main goals they set there have been achieved would be to return the territory under the control of the Syrian regime," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in a press conference in Moscow regarding Afrin's situation.
The Russian minister also added that they did not support a further view on Afrin.
