在这种情况下，当地日益紧张的局势可能为恐怖主义团体提供机会。很有可能再度陷入暴力，重新出现大规模暴行。东北部不应成为众多不得不应对人道主义灾难的叙利亚地区中的又一个地区。就像在局势日益恶化的伊德利卜，东北部新的敌对行动将会产生严重后果。关于伊德利卜，必须根据伊斯坦布尔峰会得出的结论，可持续地维持停止敌对行动状态。因此，我们呼吁俄罗斯和土耳其按照承诺加倍努力，尽一切可能维持当地平静态势。
In that context, growing tensions on the ground could provide opportunities for terrorist groups. There is a very real risk of a new descent into violence and a resumption of large-scale atrocities. The north-east should not have to become yet another Syrian region on the long list of those that have had to deal with a humanitarian disaster. In the north-east — as in Idlib, where the situation is deteriorating — renewed hostilities would have dramatic consequences. With regard to Idlib, it is essential to sustainably maintain the cessation of hostilities, in line with the conclusions of the Istanbul summit. We therefore call upon Russia and Turkey to redouble their efforts and do everything possible to preserve the calm on the ground, as they committed themselves to doing.
