Despite the condemnation of the regime .. Turkey promises to continue joint patrols with America in Syria

The Turkish-US joint patrol ended its work Sunday after running east of the Euphrates River in Syria, and Turkey confirmed that patrols will continue to establish the agreed safe area. The Syrian regime considered these patrols a "flagrant violation" of its sovereignty.

Al-Jazeera correspondent said that the joint patrol ended its work today after running deep in several kilometers east of the Euphrates River in Syria, where Turkish vehicles returned to Turkish territory from the point where they crossed, as part of the first phase of the establishment of this safe area, which Ankara plans to establish in Northern Syria.

This came after the Turkish Ministry of Defense announced that the first joint patrol launched this morning took place as planned, and took three hours.

The Turkish and US convoy leaders met on the border and discussed the patrol plan for a while.The joint convoy moved towards the city of Tel Abyad, 25 kilometers west of the meeting point, conducted surveillance in the area and then headed to the interior in the south, the Anatolia news agency reported.

In a related context, the Turkish Ministry of Defense said that the joint patrols will continue by air and land in the coming days, with the aim of moving forward in the establishment of the safe area according to the timetable, as she put it.

The system refused
The Syrian regime's foreign ministry said in a statement that the move violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria and aimed to complicate and prolong the crisis, referring to what the regime considers attempts by the US-backed Kurdish People's Protection Units to divide Syria.

The ministry said in a statement that the regime renews its absolute rejection of the so-called safe zone, and is determined to drop all projects aimed at the unity and territorial integrity of Syria.

In August, Ankara and Washington reached an agreement to establish a "joint operations center" in Turkey to coordinate and manage the creation of the safe zone in northern Syria, after Ankara stepped up its threats of an attack against the "Syrian Democratic Forces", which is supported by Washington.
