ANKARA, 02 November 2021, (TON): The Turkish army, together with the armed formations loyal to them, may start on Tuesday a military operation against the Arab-Kurdish formations of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an informed source in the structures in opposition to Damascus in northern Syria told media.

The source said “Turkey intends to launch a military operation against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) tomorrow, on Tuesday, and instructed opposition groups to prepare for the operation.”

According to the source, the operation will begin from several directions in northern Syria, from the Azaz side and from the Tel Abyad side.

The director of the Kafkassam Center for Strategic Research in Ankara Hasan Oktay told media earlier that the purpose of the new operation of the Turkish army in Syria could be to expand the border buffer zone to the border with Iraq.

He added that the terms of this operation will become clearer after the planned meeting of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan with US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of a climate conference in Glasgow in early November.
