Turkey has sent its first forces into Syria’s conflict, moving in tanks, armored vehicles, and troops to the tomb of Suleyman Shah in Aleppo Province.
However, sources on social media said that six tanks, 12 armored vehicles, and 300 troops had been despatched. Video also claimed to show Turkish forces moving through a Kurdish checkpoint further to the east, near Kobani.
The head of Turkey’s land forces, General Hulusi Akar, also insisted that the convoy was “simply a planned activity”.
