Indicating that it was decided to retaliate against the illegal regime, which pointed their guns at Turkish soldiers, during the Security Summit, Altun said, “All known targets of the regime have been and will continue to be put under fire with our air and ground fire support elements.“
Altun made a written statement regarding the Security Summit held at the Presidential Complex under the chairmanship of our President.
Underlining that the Summit was held due to the heinous attack against our soldiers, who were serving in Idlib, Altun commented as follows:
“During the Summit, it was emphasized that the Assad regime was responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of Syrians, and it was decided to retaliate against the illegal regime, which pointed their guns at our soldiers serving to defend the Republic of Turkey’s rights and interests.
In this context, all known targets of the regime have been and will continue to be put under fire with our air and ground fire support elements. We hereby call the entire international community, particularly the parties of the Astana Process, to fulfil their responsibility to bring an end to the crimes against humanity committed by the regime. We cannot and will not sit back and watch what had happened in Rwanda and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the past to recur in Idlib today. We will never let our gallant martyrs’ blood go unrevenged. Our ongoing activities on the ground in Syria will continue until the hands reaching to our flag are broken.”
