Turkey says heavy arms pullout completed in Syria's Idlib

Turkey on Wednesday said a planned buffer zone in the northwestern Syrian province of Idlib has been cleared of heavy weapons as part of a deal reached between Moscow and Ankara. "The pullout of heavy weapons from the de-militarised zone was completed on October 10," the Turkish defence ministry said in a statement. Regime ally Russia and rebel supporter Turkey announced an agreement on September 17 to create a demilitarised buffer zone ringing the Idlib region, home to three million people.
