Turkey forcibly deports 180 Syrian refugees to northern Syria, hands 10 to HTS, realizes 2 actually Moroccan tourists
[NPASyria] Turkish authorities deported on Sunday more than 180 Syrian refugees through Tel Abyad and Baba al-Hawa border crossings to areas held by Turkish-backed armed opposition, also known as Syrian National Army (SNA) in northern Syria.

An exclusive source told North Press that “Turkish authorities handed over about 55 Syrian refugees, including eight women and children, to the SNA’s Military Police.”

Turkey also deported 125 Syrians, including 29 women with their children, to Idlib, which is under the control of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS – formerly al-Nusra Front) the source added.

Other sources pointed out that the deportation was done after taking all the identity papers from the refugees and taking their fingerprints and iris scans so that cannot go back to Turkey without notifying their relatives in Turkey.

In late July, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan claimed that “more than 600,000 displaced people have returned to the country.” In May, Erdogan said that Turkey is working on ensuring the “voluntary return” of one million Syrian refugees.

Turkish authorities hand over 10 Syrians to HTS in northern Idlib

[NPASyria] After detaining them for two weeks, Ottoman Turkish authorities handed over on Monday 10 Syrians, including a women, to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
(HTS) through the Bab al-Hawa border crossing, northern Idlib.

An exclusive source informed North Press that the detainees were arrested while attempting to cross the border into The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
from Kherbet al-Jouz, western Idlib. After getting captured, they had spent two weeks in detention in Turkey’s Antakya.

The source also added that this is the fifth handover process in August, noting that all detainees are investigated in Turkey before sending them back to Syria.

"The number of detainees handed over to HTS through the Bab al-Hawa crossing in August has reached 85 individuals," according an administrative source in Bab al-Hawa border crossing.

Turkish authorities deport 2 Moroccan tourists to Syria

[NPASyria] On Monday, two Moroccan tourists were deported to Syria with a group of Syrian refugees through Bab al-Salam border crossing, northern Aleppo. They were transferred to a security center in Azaz, northern Syria.

An exclusive source informed North Press that Ottoman Turkish authorities handed over the Ottoman Turkish-backed opposition factions, also known as the Syrian National Army (SNA), 18 detainees via the Bab al-Salam crossing. The SNA subsequently transferred them to an anti-terrorism center for further investigation.

The source noted that during the investigation of the deportees, it was discovered that two of them were Moroccan nationals who had mistakenly been deported while they were in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
as tourists.

The source also added that the Ottoman Turkish intelligence transferred the two tourists to Bab al-Salam crossing and gave them back all their documents.

This confusion occurred because Ottoman Turkish authorities do not thoroughly check the data of people suspected to be Syrians; instead, they simply confiscate their documents and deport them immediately and urgently, according to the source.

The source noted that the two Moroccans are Izz ad-Din Ramash bin Abd al-Rahim, 27, and Nabil Rushdie Ahmad 30.

The source said this is not the first incident of its kind. A week ago, an Algerian was deported to Idlib, northern Syria, via Bab al-Hawa border crossing while he was in Turkey as a tourist. He was then returned by his embassy.
