After Hama and Idlib, Turkish army withdrew from Aleppo
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – The Turkish army withdrew on Monday, from a besieged military point in Sheikh Aqil Mountain, west of Aleppo, after evacuating four other points in northwestern Syria.
A source in National Front for Liberation (a Turkish-backed Syrian opposition Coalition) told North Press that 70 vehicles, including large trucks carrying military vehicles, left the fifth Turkish point in Sheikh Aqil Mountain.
The source indicated that the Turkish leaving vehicles have settled in the Turkish point near the city of Darat Izza, west of Aleppo, and the evacuation process is still underway.
This is the fifth point that Turkey withdrew from in less than a month, after evacuating the points of Morek, Sher Maghar, Ma’ar Hattat, and Qubtan al-Jabal in Idlib, Hama and Aleppo.
On October 2017, Turkey began establishing military points in northwestern Syria after it reached an agreement with Russia to establish a de-escalation zone.
