Al-Julani's face was covered during the interview. The militant group's leader directly accused the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, of planning to strengthen Daesh, also known as ISIL/Islamic State, by establishing a buffer zone.
"Turkey's actions will Let Daesh expand its influence in border zones," Abu Muhammad claimed.
He also condemned his allies from Ahrar al-Sham insurgent group for participating in a recent "Syrian opposition" conference in Riyadh and called the forum a "conspiration".
"Whatever decisions they made, they won't be realized," al-Julani claimed.
The Daesh terrorist group controls vast territories of Syria and Iraq and is currently considered to be one the main threats to global security.
The Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group, which is affiliated with al-Qaeda, is also unlawful and is prohibited from activities in Russian territory.
