SDF increases preparations to repel Turkish aggression on northern Syria
RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – The spokesperson of the Northern Democratic Brigade, a military brigade affiliated with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), said on Tuesday that their forces have increased their preparations to repel any Turkish possible aggression on northern Syria.
Mahmoud Habib, the spokesman of the Northern Democratic Brigade, told North Press that the Turkish threats require the military forces to increase preparations, and this is what they actually did.
On Monday, the Northern Democratic Brigade released a statement in which it rejected the continued threat of the Turkish potential military operation on northern Syria.
The statement pointed out that the military forces in northern Syria is ready and are prepared for a long and violent war to repel the Turkish invasion against the region.
“Our forces have got ready, some of them were deployed and military convoys stood by to repel, if needed,” Habib added.
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has recently announced plans to carry out another major military cross-border incursion into northern Syria. Erdogan specified his targets in the two northern Syrian cities of Manbij and Tel Rifaat.
The SDF and its affiliated military bridges are ready to go to the war in case Turkey decided to invade areas in Syria’s north, according to Habib.
He said that the military forces are responsible for
protecting population in areas of northeastern Syria and preventing Turkey from occupying new areas where massacres and violations will be committed, as happened previously.
