Turkey did not provide any assurances that its military operation in Syria would be coordinated with Russia and Iran, Syrian President Bashar Assad's adviser Bouthaina Shaaban said.

DAMASCUS (Sputnik)�� Shaaban, who advises the Syrian president on�political and information matters, told the Lebanese Al Mayadeen channel on�Monday that "no guarantees of�any coordination between�Turkey, Russia and Iran regarding the deployment of�Turkish forces in�Syria" have been provided.

Shaaban stressed that a common agreement on�a Turkish operation was not possible between�the three sides to�begin with. On August 24, Turkish forces, backed by�US-led coalition aircraft, began a military operation dubbed Euphrates Shield to�clear the Syrian border town of�Jarabulus and the surrounding area of�the ISIS terrorist group, outlawed in�Russia and many other countries. Turkey also targeted Kurdish forces present in�the area, ordering them to�move east of�the Euphrates river. Kurds condemned the operation and said it was directed mainly against�them, while Syria called the operation a violation of�its sovereignty.

Iran is one of�the allies of�the Syrian government in�the military conflict with�numerous opposition factions and extremist groups ripping the country apart since�March 2011. Tehran denies direct military involvement in�the conflict claiming that only Iranian military advisers were supporting the Syrian government.

Russia has been conducting an anti-terrorist aerial campaign since�September last year at�the request of�the Syrian government.
