AGENCIES: Turkey and Russia have agreed what they called a “historic” deal aimed at keeping Kurdish forces away from Syria’s border with Turkey.

Turkey this month launched an offensive to drive out the Kurdish forces from their southern frontier and create a buffer zone.

Russia is an ally of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad and has raised a concern about foreign interference in Syria.

Turkey and Russia will now conduct joint patrols on the border.

The deal comes after the US announced a sudden and unexpected withdrawal and analysts see it as cementing Turkish and Russian influence in the region.
