Turkey aims to reach a peaceful political solution in Idlib, northwestern Syria, at a meeting with Russia on Thursday, said the Turkish defense minister on Wednesday, APA reports citing Anadolu Agency.

"Turkey's military activities in Syria continue as planned, and our soldiers are fulfilling their duties with heroism," Hulusi Akar told reporters in parliament about the country's operations in the region.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will discuss recent developments in Idlib with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday.

Nearly 4 million civilians have been trapped in the last opposition stronghold of Idlib due to the recent military offensive by the Assad regime, with the support of Russia and Iranian-backed forces in the region.
