The latest developments in the Syrian arena have opened the doors to a new era between the two neighboring countries. While the foreign press stated that Turkey would play an effective role especially in Syria’s infrastructure and economic recovery, they announced that Turkish companies were strongly equipped in this field. While the country’s economy was bleeding from the civil war that lasted for many years, Syria’s military power was seriously injured.
Türkiye WILL PROVIDE CONSULTANCY TO THE ARMY OF 300 THOUSAND PEOPLE
In a report in the Armenian media, it was claimed that Turkey would assist the new administration in Syria in establishing a regular army of 300 thousand people and that Turkish military advisors and experts would take part in the establishment of the new army.
Syrian General Ahmed Osman, whose statements were included in the news, said, “Our goal is to establish an army of 300 thousand people within a year or a year and a half. The difficult situation within the country and the Israeli threat make this necessary.”
In the news, it was stated that the core of the Syrian army of 70-80 thousand people will be formed in the first stage, and this number will reach 150-200 thousand in the shortest time.
REGIME FORCES NOT INVOLVED IN CRIME WILL BE ABLE TO SERVE IN THE ARMY
It was stated that Osman also said, “50 thousand soldiers of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group from Idlib and military and intelligence officers who are not involved in the crimes of the Bashar Assad regime will be included in the new Syrian army to be formed. Turkey’s military support is of extraordinary importance at this stage.”
The news in the Armenian press also emphasized that Turkey’s military units will be deployed in five vital regions in Syria.
