Defense Ministry says.
"Practically
round-the-clock from the territory of the Republic of Turkey the
convoys of large trucks are going across the border with supplies and
weapons, which are moving exclusively to the areas, which are
controlled by the terrorist groups Jabhat al-Nusra and Ahrar
Ash-Sham," chief of the Russian Center for reconciliation
between the warring parties in Syria Lt. Gen. Sergei Kuralenko told
reporters on Friday.
Turkey
has been among the main supporters of the militant groups operating
in Syria, with reports saying that Ankara actively trains and arms
the Takfiri terrorists there and facilitates their safe passage into
the crisis-hit Arab state.
Ankara
has also been accused on numerous occasions of being involved in
illegal oil trade with Daesh. Russia has released pictures and videos
purportedly showing the movement of oil tankers from Daesh-held areas
in Syria toward Turkey.
Kuralenko
also said terrorist groups have violated the ceasefire agreement in
Syria 41 times over the past two days.
"Seven
violations each were committed in the Idlib and Damascus
governorates, four each in the Homs and Dara'a governorates, three in
the Latakia governorate, two in Quneitra governorate, and one in the
Hama governorate," Kuralenko said.
A
ceasefire agreement in Syria, brokered by Russia and the United
States, entered into force on February 27. The Syrian government
accepted the terms of the truce on condition that military efforts
against Daesh and the al-Nusra Front Takfiri militants, who are
excluded from the ceasefire, continue.
Speaking
during a briefing in the Swiss city of Geneva on Thursday, the UN
special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura gave an upbeat assessment
of truce in the war-stricken country, saying the ceasefire agreement
has been holding across the country despite minor breaches.
Syria
has been grappling with a deadly insurgency it blames on some foreign
states for nearly five years with Estimates show that more than
250,000 people have been killed and millions have been displaced in
the Arab country.
