Erdoğan stated that the responsibility for these deaths lies with Moscow and Damascus. “Russia should be held responsible for the people it killed inside the Syrian border. Due to Moscow’s cooperation with the regime in Damascus, the death toll has reached 400 000 people,” Erdoğan said this at a conference held in Senegal on the 5th of February.
