Tension around Aleppo: Syria and Turkey on the verge of clashes
The Syrian Arab Army is concentrating 1,200 special forces fighters in northwestern Syria, in the Aleppo area, in response to Turkey's preparations to arm the Tahrir al-Sham group for a possible offensive. The worsening situation threatens new clashes between Turkish-backed forces and Russian-backed Syrian troops.
Against the background of increasing tension in the Aleppo area, the Syrian Arab Army has concentrated about 1,200 special forces fighters in the north-west of the country. This is due to Turkey's preparations to arm the opposition group Tahrir al-Sham, which may launch an offensive against areas controlled by the Syrian government. Opposition sources point to the possibility of new clashes, which could also involve Turkey and Russia, which supports the government of Bashar al-Assad, in the conflict.
