Ankara, March 8. The Turkish army during the military operation in Syrian Afrina liquidated 3,055 members of Kurdish formations and terrorists of the extremist organization "Islamic State" 1 (banned in Russia). This was stated on Thursday by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Turkey.
Recall, last Wednesday reported on the 2940 liquidated militants.
"Since the beginning of Operation Olive Branch, 3,055 members of terrorist organizations have been neutralized. The operation continues in normal mode, "the Turkish General Staff said.
Earlier, the Armed Forces of Turkey told that from the beginning of the military operation in Syrian Afrina, 42 Turkish soldiers were killed.
Recall, as reported by "Gazeta.Ru", Ankara January 20 this year announced the launch of Operation "Olive Branch" against the Kurdish formations in Syrian Afrina.
The Syrian authorities condemned Turkey's actions in Africa, noting that this territory is an integral part of the Syrian Arab Republic.
Russia called on all parties to restrain and respect the territorial integrity of Syria.
Attack on the Kurds in the north of Syria began after the provocation of the United States, which announced the possibility of creating in Syria "border defense forces" from the Kurdish formations, which categorically does not suit Ankara, where they consider the Syrian Kurds to be allies of the terrorist "Kurdistan Workers' Party".
