Асад: Анкара продолжает поддерживать террористические группы

Президент Сирии Башар аль-Асад осудил турецкую военную операцию в северо-западном регионе страны Африн, заявив, что наступление является частью поддержки Анкарой террористических групп Такфири, действующих в арабской стране, охваченной конфликтами.

"Брутальная турецкая агрессия в сирийском городе Африне не может быть отделена от политики турецкого режима с первого дня кризиса в Сирии, который был в основном основан на поддержке терроризма и террористических организаций, какими бы ни были их имена", - заявил президент Сирии.

Ранее в воскресенье турецкой армии удалось продвинуться на 5 км вглубь Сирии и очистить заминированные районы. В Сирию вошли турецкие танковые подразделения, отряды специального назначения и пехота. Они оказывают огневую поддержку формированиям оппозиционной сирийскому правительству группировки "Сирийская свободная армия" (ССА), с которыми Турция координирует свои действия в Сирии. Бойцы ССА перешли в активную фазу наступления на позиции курдов в Африне также в воскресенье утром.

Во время продвижения никаких крупных столкновений не происходило.
