Russia, Turkey, Iran Finally Agree on Idlib Safe Zone in Syria

Russia, Turkey and Iran have agreed on all four safe zones in Syria, including on the Idlib de-escalation area, a source in one of the delegations said Friday.

"They have worked out a joint statement and all four related documents," the source told Sputnik.

• The source said that Russian and Iranian forces will monitor areas controlled by the government side in the Idlib safe zone, while the Turkish forces will be involved in monitoring the opposition there.

So far, three zones of de-escalation have been established in Syria: in the South along the border with Jordan, in Eastern Ghouta and to the North of Homs, while negotiations on the fourth de-escalation zone in the Idlib province were held since summer and were the main issue on the agenda at the Astana-6 talks, which conclude on Friday.

The memorandum on the establishment of four de-escalation zones in the war-torn country was signed during the fourth Syrian settlement talks in Kazakhstan's capital of Astana in May, with Russia, Iran and Turkey acting as the guarantors of the ceasefire.
