MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st September, 2020) Russia and Turkey will continue joint patrols of the M4 highway in Syria's Idlib once the situation has calmed down, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Al Arabiya broadcaster.
"There is a Turkish-Russian Memorandum which is fully in force, the joint patrolling of the M4 route was suspended because of the security concerns," Lavrov said.
