Turkish Offensive in Syria:
2019-10-15T20:19:30.228Z
For the Turkish authorities, the agreement between Syrian forces and Kurdish militias is "a dirty market," said Ludovic de Foucaud, based in Istanbul, Turkey. This agreement, which puts obstacles in the way of the Turkish operation which aims to create a safety zone, already has consequences on the ground. The Syrian troops, supported by the Russians, are positioned in areas evacuated by the Americans. The example is striking in Manbij, who changes hands for the fourth time in eight years. Two Turkish soldiers were killed on Tuesday, bringing to seven the number of soldiers killed in action on the Turkish side.
