Syria’s Allies Warn Turkey against Any Aleppo Advance

Local Editor

Allied forces in Syria warned Turkey on Wednesday against any advance towards their positions to the north and east of Aleppo, saying any such move would be met "decisively and with force".

The field commander of the ally forces made the comments during a tour of frontlines to the north of Aleppo in a written statement sent to Reuters by an official from the same alliance.

The commander, who was not identified by name, nationality or affiliation, said any such advance would be seen as a breach of "the red lines".

"We will not let anyone use the excuse of fighting Daesh [Arabic acronym for "ISIS" / "ISIL"] to advance and attempt to draw near to the defenses of the allies forces," he said.
