Members of an armed faction of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) on Tuesday withdrew from joint checkpoints and military positions with Turkish forces in Aleppo’s eastern countryside.
A Kurdish North Press source with contacts in SNA told the outlet that the jihadists of the Ahrar al-Sharqiya faction withdrew their members from the joint checkpoints with Turkish forces in the northern and eastern countryside of Aleppo Governorate.
It cut off contact with Turkish forces after recent statements about rapprochement between Turkey and the Syrian government, according to the source. The source added that “what Ahrar al-Sharqiya has done is an introduction to steps that could rearrange the situation and complicate the relationship between the factions and the guarantor.” “There is concern that the Turks could change their position and negotiate with the Russians and Iranians in favor of the regime and at the expense of the Syrian people and the opposition,” he noted. It said fears were raised after Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu’s statements in late July about the possibility of providing political support to the Syrian government and confirming the exchange of information between the two sides. “The opposition forces in the region believe that these are serious developments that are not in their interest,” the source told the Kurdish North Press, in a news story also reproduced by the Syrian Observer.
