Support SouthFront

A group of 60 fighters from Turkey-led Euphrates Shield forces defected and moved to areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Manbij and to the area controlled by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the eastern Aleppo countryside.

According to pro-government sources, one of the commanders of the Sultan Murad Division, Mohammed Kheir Shlash (Abu al-Khair) was among the defectors. It later emerged that Abu al-Khair was an agent of Syrian Air Force Intelligence and was one of the first commanders of the Sultan Murad Division supported by Turkey and the United States.

Abu al-Khair established his headquarters in al-Midan and Suliman al-Halabi districts in eastern Aleppo, where he cooperated with the Tiger Forces during the “Dawn Of Victory” operation.

He played a key role in the collapse of the militants’ defense lines in eastern Aleppo. After the withdrawal from Aleppo, Abu al-Khair moved to the controlled by Euphrates Shield forces and the Turkish Army and established a headquarters in Jarablus town at the Syrian-Turkish border and became responsible for the northern part of Jarablus. According to opposition sources, Abu al-Khair was in constant contact with the Turkish governor of Gaziantep and high-ranking officers of the Turkish Army and officials from the Turkish ruling party.

Although these reports are not officially confirmed, one of the pictures shows Abu al-Khair accompanied by the leader of the Tiger Forces, Suhail al-Hasan and this can be seen as an evidence.

Not matter if this story is true or not, the Turkish army is a joke, its fighters are a joke and the operations it has planned are a joke. The Turks have nothing to do in Syria. The Turks have to leave Syria and solve their problems at home before they “help” others.

If you can’t secure your border. and the terrorist attacks Turkey from Syrian land. We have to come and do it for you. be great full to Turkish army

1. I do not remember assaults. Turkey has always said that it fears the Kurds will attack. But even if there is a fear of attacks, will the occupation of a small strip prevent future attacks? 2. Why does Turkey think it knows what is right in Syria? 3. Turkey is the only neighbor to invade Syria? Maybe except Hizballah, which is more of an Iranian branch.

Erdogan supports various groups and has contributed to the prolonging of the war. Without your retard Erdogan you would have less dead soldiers, less dead innocents from terror attacks, less refugees etc.

And you wouldn’t have wasted all that money on military operations, losses from tourism …

While I agree with the fact that Turkey has negatively contributed to the Syrian crisis, I think it’s best for Syria and Turkey to reconcile at this moment and unite against their common threat of “Kurdistan” that is being planned by the Ameri/Zio/Saudi alliance.
