Finally the Syrian Afrin city is going to be controlled by Turkey. This will be the first significant success of the Turkish military operation that started more than a month and a half before the Kurds.
Turkish President Rajab Tayeb Erdogan said on Friday, the Turkish military and their Syrian rebel allies have blocked Afrin Town in northern Syria and are heading towards the city center. He said this is a major development in Turkish anti-Kurdish military operation.
Turkey started the military operation called Operation Olive Branch seven weeks ago to oust Syrian Kurdish organization WiPG from Turkey's border. Ankara regards Waipzi as a terrorist group and a Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) branch of the illegal.
Turkish state Sydia said on Thursday, the Turkish army and their anti-Syrian regime, the rebel Allies (Free Syrian Army or FSA), took control of Jindarese near Apurin. As a result, 5 out of 7 settlements in the northwest of the Afrin region came under the control of Turkey.
Erdogan also spoke on television in Ankara, and now he is surrounded by the center of Afrin. We'll be there soon enough. He said that we have removed all barriers to the blockade of Afrin town. Afridi city center is about 6 km away from Jindares.
At the end of Friday's day, a spokeswoman for the YPG spokesman, Afrin, refused to be confined. He said the fighting is still going on in some of Turkey's territories.
Wipi's spokesman Nuri Mahmud said, Erdogan's army is 10-15 kilometers away from Afrin. Today, on Friday (Friday), Bulbul said that the clash is going on that place they will occupy 30 days in advance.
Erdogan said the Turks will advance from Turkey-Syria border to the east and expel the Kurdish fighters after Afrin and Manabis in their expedition. He said, today we will go to africa, tomorrow manji. The next day we will definitely clean up the eastern border of Iraq, to the Iraq border.
Erdogan threatened to launch military operations in Manabis, NATO allies created Turkish complex with the United States. There are US soldiers in the country.
Note that US support for the YPG has provoked Turkey. Against the Islamic State (AES), the YPG has fought US support.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Kavusoglu said on Thursday that the operation of the Afrin would be completed in May. Then the Iraqi government will have joint operations against Iraq's Kurdish militants.
