Turkey Urges Iran to 'Use Its Influence' on Hizbullah, Damascus
Turkey on Friday called on Iran to “use its influence” on Hizbullah and the Syrian regime to push them to respect the Syria ceasefire that started at midnight and has seen several violations.
“Iran must use its influence in a positive manner -- especially on Hizbullah, the Shiite groups and the Syrian regime – as it promised in Moscow,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said.
Asked Thursday about Turkey's call for the withdrawal of all foreign fighters from Syria, including Hizbullah's forces, Hizbullah senior official Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyed said: “We are not present in Syria at the request of Turkey, Saudi Arabia or the United States, we are there as part of our cooperation with the Syrian state.”
“When we sense that it is beneficial to withdraw from Syria, we will do so,” he added.

Whatever friendship the Turks seem to have with Russia, will not be able to stop the Resistance presence in Syria.
This is our war, as much as everyone elses.
For all the sacrifices endured the Resistance will not leave because of some Salafi Turks think they can use big words.
To honor all the martyrs in Syria, the Resistance must carry on to avenge their deaths and destroy Wahabism. Just when the Salafis are on the brink of defeat the Turks steps in and calls for ceasefire.

The Russians wants to preserve Bashar Al Assad and so does Iran and the Resistance.
Now that is enough common ground to fight on.

Turkey is a nonentity when it comes to matters of importance to the resistance.Turkey has a lot bigger eggs to fry than the situation in Syria and Iraq. Turkey is in an extremely vulnerable situation right now and they know it. The only and I mean the only reason Russia and Iran are even talking to the Turks is because they're a peon of the US and a client of EU plus a pawn of NATO. This is to keep communication lines open to these forces. Otherwise the Turks would be easily set a side in short order.

It is nice how you try to make a conflict between us and the Russians.
But you seem to forget that they have the same interest as we do in these cases.
The Resistance only lifted the blockade of Aleppo when they were assured that the civilians got out of Fua and Kafraya, no deal before that.
Well the rest you can see for yourself. You are more stupid than I thought if you think the Resistance will pull out now.

"Iran considers the Russian deal with opposition, facilitated by Turkey, a deal made without their knowledge and intended to sideline Iran," Syrian journalist Hadi Alabdallah tweeted Wednesday. "For this reason, Iran-backed militias [have] obstructed the evacuation of the injured since yesterday until now, highlighting Russia-Iran discord over Syria."

Iran can take care of themselves.
But whomever wants to lend a hand in fighting Wahabism, is a welcome ally.

They can not even take Al Bab by themselves, they said they were a power and arisen neo ottoman empire, they are weak and not to be overestimated.
They are quick to overestimate themselves those Turks, just like Israel.

Turks instigated and made the Syrian war much worse. Hopefully they come to there senses. It's none of there business who governs Syria. With all the crimes of the Assad regime over the years I'm sure most Syrians would love to go back to what they had.

The basic trouble with the Turks is that, they suffer from lack of imaginations: They desire to be seen as great people who can make a difference by simply; lying through their teeth, using deceits as foreign policy-template and giving birth to some of the most cold-blooded killers and terrorists in modern age.
In that, we remind this opportunist Turkish foreign minister that, unlike the illegal Turkish imposition on the Syrian territory, Hezbollah entered the Syrian conflict strictly at the behest of the sovereign government in Damascus. To that effect, Hezbollah shall remain in that country, for as long as there are presense of those Turkish sponsored barbarian Sunni-murderers that have more or less destroyed most of the country's urban infrastructure, and are still roaming towns & cities of Syria!
