The question of protecting prison facilities holding
Daesh extremists needs to be urgently resolved, Russian Defense Minister Sergei
Shoigu said on Monday.
Shoigu said that 12 prisons with foreign extremists
remained unprotected because of the Turkish military operation in northeast
Syria, Al Arabiya news channel reported.
“As a result of the actions of the Turkish army in
Syria, eight refugee camps and 12 prisons for foreign militants remained
unprotected,” said Shoigu during a visit to China, adding that this could lead
to a surge in the migration of extremists to their native countries.
Shoigu said Russia hopes its coordination with the
United States and Turkey in Syria will help security and stability in the
region
