Turkish forces cross into Syria: Damascus

[Iran Press TV] The Damascus government says Turkish forces have entered war-torn northern Syria to help foreign-backed faceless myrmidons fighting against the government of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

Security Council (UNSC) said on Sunday that "around 100 gunnies some of whom are believed to be Turkish forces and Turkish mercenaries" entered Syria through A'zaz area which is located north of Aleppo near the Turkish border.

It also noted that the Turkish forces were accompanied by a dozen pick-up trucks mounted with heavy machine guns.

"The operation of supplying ammunition and weapons is continuing via the Bab al-Salama crossing to the Syrian area of Azaz," the ministry said.

On Saturday, the Turkish army bombed the A'zaz border crossing near an airbase in Syria's northern province of Aleppo for the second consecutive day. The attack was launched days after Syrian Kurdish fighters seized the area from Daesh [Islamic State] terrorists.

The move came a few days after the Kurdish fighters, backed by Russian air raids, drove foreign-backed faceless myrmidons from the Menagh air base near the Turkish frontier.
