Erdogan: Summer to be "hot" for terrorists in Syria

Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 23

By Rufiz Hafizoglu – Trend:

This summer will be very "hot" for terrorists in Syria, Turkish media quoted President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as saying Feb. 23.

The president said that first the Turkish Armed Forces will liberate Afrin and then all other Syrian territories controlled by Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the People’s Protection Units (YPG).

"The Syrian authorities are unable to liberate their territories from terrorists," Erdogan said.

On Jan. 20, the Turkish Armed Forces, together with the Free Syrian Army, launched the Operation Olive Branch in Afrin, Syria.

F-16 fighters of the Turkish Air Force are involved in the operation, inflicting strikes on the positions of PYD/YPG on the Syrian-Turkish border.
