Local Editor
Given the continuous victorious of the Syrian Army in its fight against the terrorist armed groups, the "World Tribune" revealed that Turkey fears Hizbullah and the Syrian Army's progress in Aleppo.
Under the title, "Turkey sounds alarm on Syria's, Hizbullah's gains in Aleppo", the daily wrote: "Turkey has warned that the regime of President Bashar al-Assad could recapture Syria's second largest city."
Officials told the daily that "the Syrian Army and Hizbullah were making steady progress in their siege of Aleppo."
It further mentioned that "the regime could be aiming to drive the armed groups out of Aleppo over the next few weeks through a ground invasion."
"We are watching the developments in Aleppo with concern," Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said. "Though the city is not on the verge of falling, it is under extreme pressure."
Officials told the daily that Ankara could support a truce that might result in the withdrawal of most of the estimated 10,000 armed militant from the city.
According to the daily, the armed groups are believed to be holding about 20 percent of Aleppo.
Officials said many of the armed groups inside Aleppo were receiving supplies and weapons from Turkey, which has called for a safe haven zone in northern Syria.
"If Aleppo were to fall, we in Turkey would really be confronted with a large, very serious, worrisome refugee crisis," Davutoglu claimed. "This is why we want a safe zone."
