New Turkish Armored Vehicles Approach Turkish-Syrian Border

Turkey is amassing armored vehicles at the Akçakale border checkpoint on the Turkish-Syrian border. The source indicates that these vehicles may be used during Turkish-American joint patrols. According to Turkish sources, this is also a sign that Turkey may begin military operations against Kurdish militants in the eastern part of Syria, which Ankara considers terrorists, reports ermenihaber.

It is recalled that a joint center for the coordination and management of a security zone was established at Turkey's Şanlıurfa province's Akçakale checkpoint to resolve Turkish-American differences regarding the conditions for creating a security zone in Syria.
