According to data transmitted by RIA Novosti by its own source of information in the circles of the Syrian opposition, the Turkish armed forces are preparing for the simultaneous conduct of two military operations in Syria. The attacks are planned to be launched in the northwest of Idlib, in order to support the pro-Turkish armed illegal formations operating there, and in the northeast of the Syrian Arab Republic (SAR) against the "Syrian Democratic Forces."

According to the interlocutor of the agency, preparing for the offensive, Turkish army units are on full alert and distributed in several directions.

In particular, we are talking not only about the province of Iblib, but also a number of settlements in the vicinity of the cities of Mari and Azaz, located in the north of Aleppo, near the Minig military airport in the area of ​​the city of Manbij, as well as in the area of ​​the city of Al-Qamishli and the province of Al-Hasake.

Recall that earlier Turkish leader Recep Erdogan did not rule out a new military campaign, citing the increased number of attacks on the Turkish army by the Kurds. At the same time, the Turkish parliament fully approved Erdogan's proposal and extended the ongoing military operation in Syria and Iraq for a period of two years.

According to the interlocutor of RIA Novosti, Turkey's military operation in Syria may begin after the meeting between Erdogan and Biden.

Earlier it was reported that the Su-34 bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces hit the border area with Turkey in northern Syria.
