Monday marks two-year anniversary of Operation Olive Branch, the second of Turkey's three military deployments in northern Syria
Turkish forces remain in Afrin to keep it secure. Since 2016, Turkey has launched a trio of successful anti-terrorist operations across its border into northern Syria to prevent the formation of a terrorist corridor there - Operations Euphrates Shield , Olive Branch , and Peace Spring .
Turkey on October 9 launched Operation Peace Spring to eliminate YPG/PKK terrorists from northern Syria in order to secure Turkey’s borders, aid the safe return of Syrian refugees, and ensure Syria’s territorial integrity. Ankara wants YPG/PKK terrorists to withdraw from the region so a safe zone can be created to pave the way for the safe return of some 2 million refugees.
On October 22, Ankara and Moscow reached a deal under which YPG/PKK terrorists would pull back 30 kilometres south of Turkey’s border with Syria, and security forces from Turkey and Russia would mount joint patrols there. In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK, listed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US and EU, has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women and children.
