Erdogan and Putin Face Off Over Syria War | Turkey Declares Jihadists Will Triumph in Syria

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin are at odds over the escalating conflict in Syria.

Erdogan has issued a bold statement predicting victory for Syrian rebels, including jihadist factions, against the Russian-backed government of Bashar al-Assad.

The comments come amid renewed violence in key regions such as Idlib, Aleppo, and Homs, where Russian airstrikes and Assad's forces are battling rebel offensives.

Erdogan accused Moscow of fueling the crisis by supporting Assad's regime, while reaffirming Turkey’s commitment to protecting Syria’s territorial integrity and addressing the “legitimate demands” of the opposition.

The remarks have heightened tensions between Ankara and Moscow, both of which have vested interests in the Syrian war.
