The movements of terrorists and armed opposition against the positions of the Syrian army violated the ceasefire agreement concluded in 2020 because this area is subject to the “de-escalation” agreement signed with the guarantee of Turkey in Astana, which includes areas in Idlib, the outskirts of Aleppo and parts of It was also Hama and Latakia.
