In the first days of the attack by the Syrian rebels, Moscow contacted Ankara to find out the plans of the "Hayat Tahrir al-Sham" group, the source explains.
At the same time, Turkey has advised Moscow to refrain from strikes against the armed opposition, due to the risks of turning the new Syrian authorities against Russia.
