Turkey's troops have encircled the main city in a Syrian Kurdish-held enclave in northwest Syria and are on the verge of entering it, Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
In a speech in Ankara Erdogan said Turkish forces, which took control of the key town of Jinderes yesterday, were 6 kilometers away from the city of Afrin.
“Afrin (city) is encircled. God willing, we are may enter Afrin (city) any moment,” the Washington Post cited Erdogan as saying.
Erdogan reiterated Turkey’s resolve to advance to Manbij and other Syrian Kurdish held locations east of the Euphrates river, once the offensive on the enclave is completed.
