Moscow is observing the activities of  the Turkish armed forces in the northern Syria and urges Turkey to coordinate the military actions with the Syrian authorities, announces the Russian Foreign Ministry representative Maria Zakharova, reports the TASS.

"We are monitoring the actions of the Turkish armed forces in the northern Syria. We undoubtedly share the wish of Turkey to struggle against the international evil - against the IS. However, we would like to draw attention of Turkey to the international law and the need to coordinate any military action on the territory of a sovereign state with the legitimate government of that country, "she said.

At the same time, Zakharova urged not to blow strikes against the Kurdish positions.  " We urge our Turkish colleagues to be more careful about the selection of targets for conducting anti-terrorist operations and not to attack the opposition and ethnic groups, including the Kurds living in Syria who fight against the IS," she said. According to Zakharova the most important task at the moment is to fight in a united front, combining the efforts of all stakeholders.

The Russian Foreign Ministry representative also said that the main issue of the dialogue between  Russia and the United States on the Syrian issue is determining the demarcation line between the  opposition and the terrorists.
