Former Lebanese minister and a leading personality on Lebanese television, Wiam Wahhab, said that Turkey’s President Erdogan sought refuge for one night in a Russian air base on Syria’s coast during the recent coup in Turkey. Wahhab also criticised the “greediness” of some Kurdish forces for their moves to form a Kurdistan statelet, explaining that Iran, Turkey, Syria and Iraq will never allow that to happen.
Saker Message:
this is the same as what Syrian Girl said…the Kurds in Syria are not a beneficent force for Syria – they are actually terrorists in a way…the PKK or whatever they call themselves.
If Russia did take him in, it’s just another bad judgment move by putin.
The Russian Foreign Ministry stated on Wednesday that Turkey operation without the approval of Damascus and the United Nations threatens Syria sovereignty.
The Russian statement pointed out that Moscow expresses its deep concern about the incursion made by the Turkish troops and the allied terrorist groups into the Syrian territories.

The Big Lie floated publicly out of either desperation, or maybe misdirection right before a right-cross coming from the other way, like boxing?
What was putin wagging his finger at Erdo about in that famous G20 group ic just days ago?

Despite dark conspiracy theories in Turkey linking the United States government to the military coup attempt on July 15, Turkish leaders see no signs of American complicity with the plotters, Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said on Tuesday.
I have no idea whether Americans or American agents were complicit in the “Turkish Coup”, but it’s safe to say that of the 3,000 military men purged after the ‘coup’ that a number of them had financial dealings with the CIA.
They may not have plotted the ‘coup,’ but they got caught in the dragnet that followed it.
As far as statements of government officials, in or out of office, go, it is unlikely they are carved in Mt Sinai stone.
Excellent move if he took him in. Continues the narrative of Russia’s support for the international order as I am sure government figures over the world will immediately realize. Compare and contrast with the ‘community of nations’ treatment of Saddam, milosevic’s and Gaddafi.
