Turkey is fortifying its border with the Syrian governorate of Idlib, where several terrorist groups are situated, the Daily Sabah reported on October 1.
According to the Turkish newspaper, cement blocks each weighting over 1,300kg, barbed wires and other fortifications were installed along the border fence with Idlib in order to prevent Syrians from sneaking into Turkish territory.
The reinforcement of the border fence began six months ago and it is expected to be completed in the upcoming four months.
Most of Idlib and the opposition-held areas around it are controlled by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and other al-Qaeda-affiliated groups. More than 3 million Syrians are living in the region that became known as Greater Idlib.
Last year, the Turkish military established twelve observation posts inside Greater Idlib in the framework of the Astana process. Turkey is also believed to be supporting several armed groups inside the region.
Despite this support, Turkey is not apparently so enthusiastic about welcoming refugees from Greater Idlib. Ankara is likely fearing unrest along its border if Syrian government forces advance further in the region.
In 2016, Turkey closed its border with Syria. Since then, at least 440 Syrians, including women and children, have been killed by Turkish border guards resisting their attempts to cross into Turkey, according to a Syrian monitoring group.
Pfft and trumps border guards house feed and clothe random people showing up and he gets called a nazi!
I swear the world runs on double standards
And feminazis protest against the burqa ban along with fundamentalist moslims. Of course there are double standards. Only white men have privilige and are prone to racism and sexism. Whatever white women and brown people do can never be wrong because in the Oppression Olympics they are still victims, and victims are never wrong. But the tide is slowly changing for white women because they are losing place in the Oppression Olympics, and soon they will have to express regret for their white privilege as well. Some already are doing it.
Social justice is such a bizarre cult.
Yup. Dont forget lesbians who dont accept transgender lesbians. Trans exclusionary radical feminists or serfs they’re called.
Makes me laugh but ultimately women need to be protected by men, from other men. I suspect the.world will right itself.
or maybe it’s all just a divide and conquer and they are all awaiting extermination via 5g
hahaha the stupid Turkeys know that their Wahhabi headchoppers will turn on them as the SAA noose tightens in Idlib. All the terrorist sponsors are paying, a froggy policeman in Paris just knifed to death 4 of his colleagues. The Turkeys will get blowback, that will make Pakistan look peaceful.
Paris: Four officers have died in a knife attack by an employee at the Paris police headquarters, a police union official says, and the attacker has been shot dead.
It wasn’t immediately clear how far the assailant got inside the building, which is located
across the street from Notre Dame Cathedral which was burnt down a few months ago.
the assailant was a handicapped worker of police headquarters, and apparently it was a personnal motive.
Too bad the wall won’t be keeping the Turks out of Syria, just the other way around, keeping Syrians out of Turkey.
lol the turkish animal exhibit is open 24 hours in Morek! free entry. WARNING do not feed the animals
