“Turkey retaliated against the attack to destroy all enemy targets and avenging our fallen troops.” Director of Communications Fahrettin Altun said regarding the attack in Idlib.
Altun shared the following on his Twitter account:
“A heinous attack occurred today in Idlib, where our military serves, pursuant to our rights under international law, to end the violence and mitigate the humanitarian crisis. I pray for our sons, who perished in said attack, and wish a speedy recovery to our wounded.
Turkey retaliated against the attack to destroy all enemy targets and avenging our fallen troops. The war criminal, who ordered today’s heinous attack, targeted the entire international community, not just Turkey. The Turkish Armed Forces, who tirelessly serve the cause of peace and stability around the world, will continue to crush anyone who dares to target our flag, to reassure our friends, and to strike fear into the hearts of our enemies.”
