Turkish-backed Syrian forces expect military operation soon

Azaz, Syria – Turkish-backed Syrian opposition forces have said their forces are ready for battle, and expect a new Turkish military operation in Syria to start soon.

Units of the Syrian National Army (SNA) paraded on Thursday through the streets of Azaz, a town in northern Aleppo province, in an effort to show their preparedness for the operation that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened in recent weeks against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

Vehicles drove thousands of armed fighters through Azaz and several areas near the front lines between areas controlled by Turkey and the SDF in Tal Rifaat.

“The goal is to be on standby for the battle and show our strength,” said General Abdul Salam Hamidi, a commander in the SNA’s Third Corps, whose forces were participating in the parade.
