Fresh reinforcements in de-escalation area | Above 300 Turkish soldiers head to Putin-Erdogan area, deploy in military checkpoints in Idlib

Idlib province: SOHR activists have documented the arrival of Turkish reinforcement via Kafr Lucien crossing in the northern Idlib countryside to the Putin-Erdogan area.

The convoy comprises dozens of Turkish military vehicles carrying over 300 Turkish soldiers.

According to SOHR sources, the soldiers headed towards the Turkish checkpoints in Putin-Erdogan area, after spending vacation designated for soldiers in Turkey, which were reactivated by the Turkish forces nearly ten days ago for the soldiers who serve in Idlib province.

It is worth noting that the Turkish forces suspended the soldiers’ vacations for over a year, due to the large military deployment and preparation for establishing checkpoints in the province.

Meanwhile, Turkish soldiers and officers, estimated to be nearly 3,000, will continue returning to Turkey in vacations until the middle of November. Over 1000 soldiers and officers underwent ground training courses, and already started their vacations on September 26.
