Damascus: The cease-fire that was declared recently by the Syrian army in the last major rebel stronghold in the northwestern province of Idlib is “temporary,” Syria’s presidential advisor Buthaina Shabaan said. Local media outlets cited Buthaina Shabaan on Sunday as saying that the cease-fire which entered into force in Idlib on Saturday was a unilateral decision by Russia and Syria and is not part of any other understandings, Xinhua news agency reported. The Presidential advisor said the Turkish army, which entered parts of Idlib, will be “forced” to leave Syria. On Friday, the Syrian army agreed to observe a cease-fire in Idlib, the last major rebel stronghold in the country, as of Saturday morning. (IANS)
