Turkey deports 200 Syrians to SNA-held areas in north Syria
AZAZ, Syria (North Press) – Turkish authorities deported on Monday midnight, 200 Syrians, including women, from Turkey to Syrian territories under the control of Turkish forces and Turkish-backed opposition factions, also known as Syrian National Army (SNA), in northern Syria.
An exclusive source told North Press that the deportation happened at midnight in consecutive batches through the Bab al-Salamah border crossing near the city of Azaz, northern Aleppo.
The deportation occurred after Turkish security forces carried out arrests under the pretext of not completing their identification papers within Turkish provinces, in addition to not having Temporary Protection Cards (Kimlik).
Turkish authorities, from time to time, arrest Syrians, saying they committed offenses. Then they issue reports against them and deport them to Syria under excuses related to not having necessary legal documents, according to several media reports.
On June 7, the Turkish authorities deported 28 Syrians from the city of Reyhanli in Antalya Province to areas in northern Aleppo.
