Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) revealed that that the FSA now controls 10 regions in northern Syria, including Arap Izzah, El Fursan, Al Athariyah, Sheikh Yakoub, Vukuf, Ayyasa, and Al Mutminah, as well as Idalat, Talyah Darbiyah, and the Kubba Turkuman Airport in the El Rai region.
Security sources told Anadolu News that FSA now controls the 55-mile Turkish border with Syria in "all regions from Azaz to Jarabulus."
Sources also revealed that the Free Syrian Army, comprised predominantly of Syrian Arabs and Turkmen fighters, besides taking control of a number of new villages, also reached 24 kilometers south of the Turkish border and are now present in the Sucu Cayi region, west of the Euphrates River.
"With the new Free Syrian Army-controlled belt extending three to five kilometers inside Syrian territory, Daesh's physical contact with the Turkish border has been totally eliminated," Anadolu reported.
"The [desirable] result of such consultations should be a consensus on what needs to be done to avoid further confrontations and an arms race in Europe.""We suggested that NATO countries should continue opinion exchange with Moscow, say, in September of this year on the military and political situation in Europe taking into account decisions of the Warsaw Summit," Anatoly Antonov said.
