Turkey to send military delegation to Syria, appoint military advisor – Reports

Ankara, Mar 17 (UNI) Ankara will send a military delegation to Syria in the coming days to discuss the training of the Syrian army, and a Turkish officer may be appointed as a military advisor in the Arab republic, Turkish pro-government newspaper Hurriyet reported on Monday.
The report said that the military delegation will visit Syria for a second time in the near future. During the recent visit of Turkish ministers to Damascus on March 13, the delegation included Maj. Gen. Ilkay Altindag, the director general of defense and security at the Turkish Defense Ministry.
As part of military cooperation with Syria, Turkey will contribute to the restructuring of the Syrian army and provide modern defense industry products to enhance its capabilities, the newspaper reported. One of Turkey’s officers would reportedly be appointed as a military advisor to the Syrian army, and the Turkish military attache had already begun his duties.
Syria's armed opposition captured Damascus on December 8. Bashar Assad stepped down as Syrian president and left the country for Russia, where he was granted asylum. Mohammed al-Bashir, who ran the Idlib-based administration formed by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and other opposition groups, was named interim prime minister. He later announced that an interim government had been formed and would remain in place until March 2025.
