►Syrian Air Force kills Turkish soldiers in east Aleppo: report

DAMASCUS, SYRIA (10:20 A.M.) - The Turkish regime accused the Syrian Air Force
of killing three of their soldiers in the eastern countryside of the Aleppo Governorate on Thursday.

According to a statement released by the Turkish Armed Forces,
the Syrian Air Force was conducting airstrikes near the key town of Al-Bab,
when one of their bombs hit Turkish military positions in the area.

The Syrian Ministry of Defense has not commented on this matter,
despite the allegations made by Ankara on Thursday.

The Syrian Air Force has been targeting the islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) militants
in the Al-Bab Plateau and Deir Hafer Plains lately; furthermore,
they have never had any confrontation with the Turkish-backed rebels, so the claim is rather odd.

Al-Masdar News reached out to sources at the Kuweires Military Airport;
however, they were not available to comment on the matter.

►Egyptian fighter jets arrive in Syria: report

DAMASCUS, SYRIA (2:20 P.M.) - Egyptian fighter jets
landed for the first time at the Hama Military Airport this week,
the Lebanon-based As-Safir newspaper reported on Wednesday morning.

As-Safir claims that these Egyptian fighter jets will participate
in the ongoing military operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS),
while also providing logistical support to the Syrian Arab Air Force (SAAYF).

Al-Masdar contacted the Syrian Air Force to corroborate this report by As-Safir;
however, no response has been received yet to verify the validity of this claim.

Last month, several Egyptian military advisors traveled from Cairo to the Port of Tartous
in order to participate in a training session with their Russian counterparts at the T-4 Airport in east Homs.

(AFP) Countries who back the "moderate" Syrian opposition, including the United States and Gulf nations,
will meet in Paris in early December, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said Wednesday.

Ayrault said the international community "must stop averting its gaze" from the "terrible reality" of what was happening in Syria.

(Ayrault is SUCH an arrogant prick. ugh. )

Turkish F-16 warplanes were put on emergency standby Thursday

and risks bringing Syria and Turkey into a major clash.

Syrian Army, Kurds continue steamrolling in east Aleppo as rebels mass retreat

What was expected to take months and months in Aleppo
has just happened in about 48 hours -
the Syrian Army has liberated huge neighborhoods
one after the other,
as the terrorists in the northern half of "Eastern Aleppo"
have simply collapsed.

There are some happy Syrians waking up to news that almost half of Eastern Aleppo has been freed from the terrorists.

Report that 4000 civilians escaped to government-held Aleppo, and showing the housing units that the Syrian government prepared for them:

Terrorists are depressed -

Erdogan: Turkish forces are in Syria to end Assad's rule

Published time: 29 Nov, 2016 17:24
Edited time: 29 Nov, 2016 21:04

Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that the Turkish Army entered Syria to end the rule of President Bashar Assad, whom he accused of terrorism and causing the deaths of thousands.
“We entered [Syria] to end the rule of the tyrant al-Assad who terrorizes with state terror. [We didn’t enter] for any other reason,” the Turkish president said at the first Inter-Parliamentary Jerusalem Platform Symposium in Istanbul, as quoted by Hurriyet daily.

Erdogan said that Turkey has no territorial claims in Syria, but instead wants to hand over power to the Syrian population, adding that Ankara is seeking to restore “justice.”

“Why did we enter? We do not have an eye on Syrian soil. The issue is to provide lands to their real owners. That is to say we are there for the establishment of justice,” he said.

He went on to say that “in his estimation” almost 1 million people have died in the conflict in Syria, although no monitoring group has provided any similar figures. The latest UN estimate stands at 400,000 people killed in the five-year civil war.

Erdogan said that Turkey could not “endure” the unending killing of civilians and “had to enter Syria together with the Free Syrian Army.”

The Turkish leader also accused the UN of inability to influence the situation in Syria and said that the organization is ineffective in its current state.

“The world is bigger than five,” he said, referring to the number of permanent members on the UN Security Council, as reported by Hurriyet.

Turkish troops entered Syria on August 24, launching operation Euphrates Shield. Turkey deployed ground troops and air power to northern parts of its neighboring country, with the stated goal of retaking areas held by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).

However, many observers have said that Ankara aims to suppress Kurdish forces in Syria and prevent them from connecting three de facto autonomous Kurdish areas into one enclave south of the Turkish border.

In October, Turkey’s air forces killed between 160 and 200 fighters of the Kurdish YPG militia group in 26 airstrikes conducted in just one night. The Turkish military campaign in Syria has also led to increasingly strained relations with Assad’s government.

Ankara was forced to halt air support for its ground incursion into Syria on October 22, after Damascus vowed to shoot down Turkish Air Force planes in Syrian skies, accusing Turkey of violating its national sovereignty.

Turkey in turn accused the Syrian Army of attacking FSA fighters in the northern Aleppo province.

Russia to talk with Erdogan about his comments on removing Assad

LAVROV VISITS TURKEY

Remarks by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan about Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad
will be a topic of discussion during the upcoming visit of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to Turkey,
TASS reported Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov as saying on Wednesday.

"That will be a good topic to clarify the intentions," he said answering a question from a TASS correspondent.

Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for Russia's Foreign Ministry, said on Wednesday
that Erdogan's words on removing Assad were uttered "off the record."

"We studied the matter yesterday. The quote caused a great stir," Zakharova said.
"We tried to understand whether it was quoted as it had been said.
It was not a direct quote, but a retelling of what had been said ‘off-the-record’.
We rely on the public statements."
