Saudi Arabia is set to move fighter jets to its base in Turkey in preparation for a possible bombing campaign against ISIS jihadists in Syria.
Turkey's
Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu confirmed the potential plan and
suggested Turkey were also considering military options against ISIS.
'If
there is a strategy (against ISIS) then Turkey and Saudi Arabia could
enter into a ground operation,' Mr Cavusoglu said after the Munich
Security Conference.
'Saudi Arabia is also sending planes to Turkey, to (the base of) Incirlik,' he said.
'They (Saudi officials) came, did a reconnaissance of the base. At the moment it is not clear how many planes will come.'
The
news comes as two Syrian rebel commanders told Reuters they had been
sent 'excellent quantities' of ground-to-ground Grad missiles by foreign
backers.
The missiles have a range of 20 km (12 miles) and are expected to be used to confront the Russian-backed offensive.
Foreign
opponents of Assad including Saudi Arabia and Turkey have been
supplying vetted rebel groups with weapons via a Turkey-based operations
centre.
Some of the vetted groups have received military training overseen by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
Russia suggested it might not stop its air strikes, even when the cessation of hostilities takes effect in a week.
Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia would not stop bombing fighters from
ISIS and a rebel group called the Nusra Front, which is affiliated with
al Qaeda, neither of which were covered by the cessation deal. 'Our
airspace forces will continue working against these organisations,' he
said.
Moscow
has always said that those two jihadist groups are the principal
targets of its air campaign. Western countries say Russia, in fact, has
been attacking mostly other insurgent groups. Turkey's foreign minister
said on Friday Russia was targeting schools and hospitals in Syria.
