“Let’s stop talking about no-fly zones, the reality is we are dealing with no-life zones. Our choices are death or displacement. The agreement with the Turks and Russians [signed in Moscow the day before] means nothing. The real agreement is they will not leave anyone alone, especially on the M4 highway.”

First Russian-Turkish joint patrol cut short by protests, as hundreds of civilians and rebels cut off the M4 roadway, rejecting the presence of Russian forces. Protesters climbed atop Turkish tanks or stood in their path.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that there were rebel “provocations” and that civilians were being used as a human shield, while the Turkish Defense Ministry said that the first patrol had been completed, explaining that the two sides in coordination “took necessary measures, with the aim of preventing potential provocations and harm to the civilian population in the region”.
