Turkish-backed forces take full control of Syrian-Kurdish city of Afrin |
Turkish-backed forces have taken full control of the centre of the Syrian-Kurdish city of Afrin. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that units of the Free Syrian Army took control of Afrin on Sunday morning. Fighters waved flags and tore down the statue of a legendary Kurdish figure after claiming the city centre. The two-month Turkish-led operation was aimed at ridding the border region of a Kurdish militia that Turkey considers a terrorist group.
