AFRIN, Syria (North Press) – A Turkish organization completed on Wednesday the construction of a new settlement in the northern countryside of Afrin, northwestern Syria. Upon completion, the organization laid the foundation for another settlement in the same area.
North Press correspondent in the area stated that Türkiye Diyanet Foundation, a NGO headquartered in Istanbul, has completed the construction of a new settlement near the village of Kafr Rom in the Sharran district in northern Afrin.
The new settlement consists of 10 multi-story buildings, and it is expected to be handed over to settlers by mid-2024.
