The latest incursion by Turkish troops into Idlib to defend al-Qaeda terrorists received an unexpected surprise by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) who were chasing the terrorists. Six Turkish soldiers were among the various terrorists killed by the SAA, and nine Turkish soldiers were among the many terrorists injured in the military action.
The Syrian Arab Army is performing its duty of defending its citizens against foreign armed and funded terrorists still occupying regions of Idlib. Per International Law, it is Syria’s sovereign right to defend itself within its internationally recognized borders. This right and this responsibility of the SAA do not vaporize just because the terrorists are sponsored by NATO and its many satellites.
The Turkish war ministry confirmed this success of the SAA, in its accurate artillery bombing in Idlib province.
The Turkish ministry, like its president, lied to their people by adding: the Turkish forces responded to the attack and destroyed ‘enemy targets’ in Idlib, claiming that the Syrian forces carried out the attack despite being informed beforehand of the position of the Turkish forces.
Erdogan regime troops have no right to bark ‘self-defense’ in Syria, his thugs breach International Law with their military aggression against Syria, and their illegal invasion.
Erdogan mistakes being Trump’s lapdog in Syria, as protected; he deludes himself to believe he is the exception to Trump’s geopolitical dumps.
The Turkish madman criminally announced that his regime forces will remain on the Syrian territories and lied that they have retaliated against the Syrian Army killing 30 soldiers. Erdogan added that his fighter jets bombed Syrian posts, claims fake verified by Erdogan and his propaganda machine, no other source about any Turkish response.
The only response was the Turkish war ministry complaining to the Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria, which in turn replied they had no advanced information about Turkish troops entering Syria, not coordinated with them, and they have not recorded any Turkish retaliation and definitely no Turkish fighter jets breaching Syria’s air space.

Its a start..
Thumps up to President Assad and Mr Putin Turkey must pull out of Syria.Infact after Syria is completely liberated they must take the war right into Turkey.
Erdogan sacrificed Turkish Army soldiers to protect his beloved Al-Qaeda terrorists exactly like what President Assad predicted when he said those terrorists are closer to Erdogan’s heart than the Turkish Army soldiers:
“I conduct tours every so often to the areas which are considered hot spots and dangerous, because these heroes are carrying out the most difficult of tasks, and it is natural for me to think of visiting them. This has been common practice for me; the visit to Idlib, in particular, was because the world perhaps believed that the whole Syria question is summed up in what is happening in the north, and the issue has now become a Turkish Army incursion into Syrian territory, and forgetting that all those fighting in Idlib are actually part of the Turkish Army, even though they are called al-Qaeda, Ahrar al-Sham and other names. I assure you that those fighters are closer to Erdogan’s heart than the Turkish Army itself. We should not forget this, because politically and in relation to Turkey, in particular, the main battle is Idlib because it is linked to the battle in the north-eastern region or the Jazeera region.”

The SAA is only allowed to defeat the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaida, and Daesh in Idlib because Putin forced Assad to agree to the federalisation of Syria via the new constitution. Note that Russia still forces Syria to allow Turkey to resupply its observation posts behind the lines of the SAA. These Turkish observation posts will be used to finance and arm other militias and, along with Russian prodding, force Assad to agree to the new constitution, federalisation, and the resurgence of “civil war” (read: proxy warfare). So the short-term trends may be meaningless for Syria in the medium to long term. Syria is still going to lose against the West.
Russia is also backing Turkey and Qatar’s Muslim Brotherhood-run GNA in Libya, both of which, like the LNA’s Khalifa Haftar and his Saudi, Emirati, and Egyptian backers, are working for the U.S. and Israel. Iran also happens to back the pro-Zionist GNA to counter the pro-Zionist Haftar! Pro-Zionist Russia, Qatar, and Turkey, along with Iran, “work” to oppose pro-Zionist Haftar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt in Libya! The entire scene almost resembles theatre. (Another irony is that Saudi and Emirati money placed Erdoğan’s AKP and its allied Gülen movement in power in 2001. President Assad indirectly confirmed that the Gülen–AKP split and July 2016 coup was a false flag by NATO and Israel.)
At the start of the proxy war on Syria in 2011, Turkey and Qatar actually took their orders from Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia, like all the West’s Sunni clients in the MENA, took its orders from Israel. Turkey and Qatar financed the same groups that Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE were financing, especially al-Qaida and Daesh. Israel, working closely with Saudi-controlled Turkey and Jordan, coordinated the entire regime-change operation on behalf of the Anglo-Saxons’ NATO. The Pakistani ISI also trained Taliban, al-Qaida, and Daesh fighters for service in Syria and elsewhere. (Iran, ironically, also supported the West’s “Arab Spring” in order to overthrow secular regimes and install the Muslim Brotherhood.)
