Russian and Turkish servicemen conducted a joint patrol mission in Syria's Aleppo governorate as envisaged by the bilateral memorandum from 22 October 2019, chief of the Russian Center for reconciliation of the conflicting sides in Syria, Major General Yury Borenkov said.

"A joint Russian-Turkish patrol mission was conducted along the Jarih al-Fawqani-Zor-Mgae route in the Aleppo governorate. Aerial backing for the convoy was ensured by helicopters of the Russian aerospace forces. A Russian Orlan-10 unmanned aerial vehicle was used to monitor the situation along the convoy’s route," TASS cited him as saying.
