Assad condemns Turkey’s support for terrorism
Tehran (KNA) - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has condemned Turkish military operation in the country’s northwestern region of Afrin.
"The brutal Turkish aggression on the Syrian town of Afrin cannot be separated from the Turkish regime's policy from the first day of Syria's crisis, which was essentially built on supporting terrorism and terrorist organizations, whatever their names," Assad said in statements carried by Syria's official news agency SANA.
Earlier on Sunday, Turkish ground forces, backed by armored vehicles, special forces and infantry regiments, advanced 5 kilometers (3 miles) inside Afrin along with the so-called Free Syrian Army militants. No major clashes took place during the movement.
