The Turkish Army, worried about the imminent collapse of terrorist-held lands North of Syria, has sent more military equipment and troops to one of the Turkish border cities near Syria following the recent victories of the Syrian army and Kurdish fighters against the terrorist in the provinces of Aleppo and Lattakia, Turkish media disclosed.
The city of Kilis in the Southern part of Turkey near the border with Syria and the Gaziantep-Aleppo highway has been the destination of a growing number of Turkish army troops and their arms and military equipment, the Turkish language news agency, Duqan reported.
Under the pretext of fight against the ISIL, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have announced their readiness to dispatch ground forces to Syria, FNA reports.
The Kurdish fighters that are backed up by the Russian air force have been making rapid advances in the Northern parts of Aleppo and the Turkish artillery shelling seems to be aimed at stopping their advances against the terrorist groups in the region that is close to the border with Turkey.
Turkey vowed it would not allow the pro-government forces in Syria to capture the militant-held city of Azaz close to its border.
