Turkish political parties on Friday extended condolences to the nation over the loss of lives of Turkish soldiers in an air strike by the Bashar al Assad regime in Idlib, northwestern Syria, SIA reports.
"I wish Allah's mercy to martyred soldiers and extend my condolences to their families and our nation. Allah bless our soldiers," Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), said on Twitter.
Meral Aksener, the head of the opposition IYI (Good) Party, also turned to Twitter to extend her condolences. "I wish Allah's mercy to our heroes who became martyrs for the motherland," Aksener said.
According to a statement by the opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), the party’s leader Devlet Bahceli and other senior members follow the latest developments in Idlib from the party’s headquarters. In September 2018, Turkey and Russia agreed to turn Idlib into a de-confliction zone in which acts of aggression are expressly prohibited.
But more than 1,300 civilians have been killed in attacks by the regime and Russian forces in the de-escalation zone since then as the ceasefire continues to be violated. The de-escalation zone is currently home to 4 million civilians, including hundreds of thousands displaced in recent years by regime forces throughout the war-torn country.
Over a million Syrians have moved near the Turkish border due to intense attacks. Since the eruption of the bloody civil war in Syria in 2011, Turkey has taken in some 3.7 million Syrians who fled their country, making it the world’s top refugee-hosting country.
