[ARABNEWS] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... is planning a road network to link the main cities in the Euphrates Shield area in Aleppo with its southern provinces of Gaziantep and Kilis. The two provinces have been home to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees since the beginning of Syria’s civil war in 2011. Gaziantep is just 92 kilometers from Aleppo. The The cost of the project and its schedule have yet to be announced. The main cities to be linked by the project in war-torn Syria are Azaz, al-Bab, Jarablus, Mareh, al-Rai and Akhtarin. Syria’s civil war has wreaked havoc on the country’s transport network, and some cities in the region have already been supported by Turkey in efforts to repair and upgrade road links with nearby villages. |
