New reinforcement | 250 Turkish soldiers enter “Putin-Erdogan” area, with the entry of logistical and military supplies

SOHR activists have reported the entry of Turkish military reinforcement to Syria, via Kafr Lucin crossing in the northern countryside of Idlib, comprising fuel trucks and vehicles carrying tunnel-shape cement blocks, food and military supplies, as well as ten military armored vehicles carrying 250 soldiers, after they had spent their leaves.

 

On November 4, SOHR activists documented the arrival of Turkish reinforcement via Kafr Lucien crossing in the northern Idlib countryside to the Putin-Erdogan area.

 

The convoy comprised 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.
