🏳️🇸🇾❌🇹🇷 — Spokesperson of Turkish-backed Jaysh al-Izza (Army of Glory) told North Press that al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room refused any convergence with “al-Assad regime”, referring to the Turkish guarantor.

Bakour’s speech came at a time while Russia is seeking to bring closer relations between Ankara and Damascus. This step was interspersed with earlier statements by Turkish officials, about Turkey providing all kinds of political support to the Syrian government regarding facing the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

On July 27, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that his country would provide all kinds of political aid to the Syrian government in terms of driving out “terrorists”.

“We will provide all kinds of political support for the [Syrian] regime’s work in this regard. It is the natural right of the [Syrian] regime to remove the terrorist organization from its territory,” said Cavusoglu in a televised interview with Turkish Channel TV100. These statements angered many leaders of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA).
