VOA: Turkish President Announces Start of Military Operation in Syria
ISTANBUL — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced the start of Turkish military operation into Syria's Idlib province.
"There is a serious operation in Idlib at the moment, and this will continue," Erdogan announced in a speech Saturday to his party members.
The military offensive is aimed at ending the jihadist control of the Idlib area. Much of Idlib is controlled by the jihadist Tahrir al-Sham alliance, which is made up of large elements of a former al-Qaida affiliate that changed its name last year from the al-Nusra Front.
"We have to help our brothers who arrived in Idlib after fleeing Aleppo. The necessary step was taken, and it is ongoing," Erdogan said. "The FSA [Free Syrian Army] is currently carrying out the operation, and our soldiers are not there."
