Turkey Supporter of Terrorism in Syria

According to reports, Turkish officials after watching significant advance of Syrian Army and taking the control of tens of towns and small and large villages and liberating the strategic Idlib town of Maarat al-Numan and collapse of terrorist groups in this front, have decided to send huge amount of anti-tank missiles like taw and Kornet to support terrorist groups in order to stop Syrian Army advancing in the regions which are under occupation of takfiri terrorists; and this is in contradiction with Turkey’s claim of being in alignment with the Islamic Republic of Iran in fight against the Zionists in the region.

In recent weeks several video clips have gone viral by pro-takfiri media, showing some missiles being fired at Syrian Army’s positions in east of Adleppo and west of Idlib and it indicates that takfiri forces have no concern over their ammunition reserves and they even fire expensive missiles at infantry forces with the least strategic importance regarding tanks or armored personnel carrier.

World people in recent weeks have watched outstanding victories of Syrian Army and its allied forces against takfiri terrorists in Idlib Province front. But Turkey’s excessive demand attitude and its officials’ effort to disrupt Syrian Army operations and to save its under-shelter terrorists has caused some casualties for Syrian Army and now accusing figure is pointed at Turkey for stonewalling restoration of peace and stability and cleaning the region from terrorists.

It is interesting that at first, Turkey’s actions were verbal and through talks with Russian officials in order to stop Syrian Army’s operation in Idlib Province but after Russia and Syria’s decisive response and their emphasis on fight with terrorism till liberation of the last regions in Syria, Turkish official chose hard encounter and they officially entered into the scene in support of terrorism.

Turkish government and officials’ support advance so that Turkey for the first time equipped some hardliner groups and organizations with advance missile which have been designated by the UN as terrorist groups.

Some video clips have gone viral which show Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham displaying their AT14 Kornet missiles and Turkey and its Army is the only culprit of armoring the groups.

After watching these hostile actions of Turkish Army and its operation in Idlib Province, Syrian Army was forced to have a decisive reaction against Turkey’s president and his military forces’ excessive demand and it signaled its decisive response by shelling Turkish Army’s position around town of Idlib.

According to the verified information, during Syrian Army attack, eight Turkish troops were killed and five more were wounded.

Hours after the attack, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in his speech claimed that in response to the Syrian Army’s deadly attack, Turkish Army has shelled Syrian Army’s positions, killing 35 Syrian troops. It was a false and unbelievable claim which was denied by all official Syrian Army sources as Syrians claimed no Syrian troop has been killed or wounded.

Currently Syrian Army is 3 kilometers away from this strategic city, stationed at the juncture of two international highways of M4 and M5.

Turkey is well aware that liberation of town of Saraqib will be the key for taking the control of cities of Idlib and Arihah, and for this reason it is determined not to let the town fall even at the expense of direct confrontation with Syrian Army.

It is interesting that Turkey is well aware that Russians consider its act as hostile. So Russian military officials have announced their full support of Syrian Army despite Turkey’s opposition. And if Russians show their support practically to Syrian Army for taking the control of Saraqib, Syrian offensive forces will have no problem in passing through the Turkish armored vehicles and forces which have been deployed at the city entrance because the strategy of the operation in Saraqib is backed by all countries in the region and Turkey’s stonewalling will be ineffective.
