Reports say civilians have been harmed during military operations, Turkish military rejects the accusations

BreakingNews @en di

The Turkish military has rejected reports that civilians have been harmed during its ongoing military operation in northern Syria. The reports said that civilians were affected during the ongoing Euphrates Shield Operation but according to the General staff it doesn’t reflect the facts on the ground because to not harm the civilians is one of the basic principles of the Turkish Armed Forces. The operation began in late August last year to improve security, support coalition forces and eliminate the terror threat along Turkey’s border with Syria with the help of opposition fighters backed by Turkish artillery and jets. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based war monitor, had said in late December 2016 that Turkish airstrikes on the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)-held town of al-Bab in northern Syria, had killed civilians. This claim was not verified from other sources.

Velayeti’s remarks come as Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım paid a visit to Iraq after months of rows over a camp in Iraq, where Turkish troops train Iraqi Sunni local forces to combat jihadists of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Describing Turkey’s stance “regarding respecting its neighbor’s territorial integrity” as a “positive step,” Velayeti said they wished for friendly to be established between Turkey and Syria. Turkey and Iran have for years been on opposite sides of the Syrian conflict, with Turkey supporting Syrian opposition fighters against the regime, and Iran supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad alongside Russia. Turkey and Russia recently reached a country-wide cease-fire in Syria and hope to bring the parties around a table in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana for peace talks later this month.
