Turkey ready for military operation in Syria’s Afrin – media reports

By Trend

The Turkish Armed Forces are fully ready for operations in the Syrian city of Afrin, the Turkish media reported on December 19 citing a military source.

The conduct of operations in Afrin is a matter of time, say the reports.

Earlier, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that the country doesn’t rule out a new military operation against YPG and PYD in the Syrian city of Afrin.

On Oct. 25, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that a new military operation may be held in Afrin.

Turkey has been moving military equipment to its border with Syria since June 21. Military equipment is being deployed in Turkey’s south-central province of Kilis, which borders Syrian territories controlled by YPG and PYD.
