Russia calls on Turkey to refrain from steps in northern Syria that would threaten to escalate the situation, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, RIA Novosti reported.

"We call on Turkish partners to refrain from steps that could lead to a dangerous escalation of tension. We proceed from the fact that forceful actions without coordination with the legitimate authorities of Syria would constitute a violation of sovereignty, territorial integrity," Zakharova said during the briefing.

Earlier, Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said that Ankara was ready for a new military operation in northern Syria, which could begin at any moment.
