FSA, local forces to participate in Raqqa operation

Presidential Spokesperson Kalin made his regular speech and talked about current issues.

İbrahim Kalin said on Monday that Turkey has agreed with the U.S. that the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and local forces will participate in the offensive to liberate Raqqa from Daesh terrorists.

Kalin stressed that operations around El Bab have gained intensity. I would like to emphasize here that the Turkish Armed Forces show a great deal of sensitivity to operate without targeting civilian casualties. During the past week, hundreds of DEAS targets have been eliminated and 226 DEAS terrorists have been deactivated.
