The Memorandum on Stabilisation of the Situation in Idlib signed by Turkey and Russia on Monday calls for the reopening of transit traffic between Aleppo and both Latakia and Hama, allowing Ankara and Damascus to resume trade routes that had been halted during the war.

The document, obtained exclusively by The National, lists a 10-point plan to avoid an offensive in the northwestern Syrian province. Aside from the demilitarized zone, which would go “15-20 kms deep in the de-escalation area”, the document grants the Iranian-Russian-Turkish coordination centre a role in implementing the ceasefires. The centre was established under Astana talks.

“Effective measures will be taken for ensuring sustainable ceasefire regime within the Idlib de-escalation area. In this regard, the functions of the Joint Iranian-Russian-Turkish Coordination Center will be enhanced,” it said.
