In the north-eastern Syrian province of Hasaka, a confrontation broke out between Turkish-loyal gangs.
This was reported by the Federal News Agency, citing its own sources in the Arab Republic.
According to reports, in the areas of Hasaka province, which are controlled by pro-Turkish armed groups, the militants could not share the property seized from civilians. This led to a bloody confrontation. As a result, two militants of the illegal formation Firkat al-Mutasim were killed in the border town of Ras al-Ain.
To resolve the situation, Ankara sent an armed contingent. Only with the arrival of the army did the skirmishes stop. After the incident, Turkey was forced to replenish the ranks of the loyal militants in Hasak. According to sources, about 40 trucks with militants arrived here.
As News Front previously reported, in February, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan decided on a risky military adventure in the Idlibian de-escalation zone. He sent troops in support of illegal armed groups to force the Syrian army to retreat. However, the operation got bogged down, NATO refused to support, and Russia made it clear that it would continue to contribute to the liberation of Syria.
As a result, Erdogan tempered his ambitions and went on March 5 to negotiate with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Then the parties came to an agreement to resolve the situation, and in Idlib a silence regime was introduced.
