He made the demand during the latest round of Syrian peace negotiations in the Kazakh capital city of Astana. The development came after Turkish officials said they were sending troops into Syria to enforce a de-escalation zone in Idlib, which is largely controlled by the Takfiri Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) terrorist alliance. The de-escalation zone forms part of an agreement reached between Turkey, Iran and Russia.
