Alwaght- Turkish government provides terrorists in Syria's Aleppo with financial and logistical support, Syrian legislator says.
"Ankara is still the largest behind-the-scene actor of the terrorists and their military operations against the Syrian army in Aleppo," FNA cited Alan Bakar as saying on Saturday.
The member of the Syrian parliament's Arab and Foreign Affairs Committee suggested that for the same reason the recent meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin was focused on Syria, specially the future of Aleppo.
"The message of St Petersburg meeting on the need for finding a common solution by Russia and Turkey to the Syrian crisis indicates that the outcome of Aleppo battle will be determining," the Syrian MP added.
Aleppo, Syria's biggest city before the outbreak of crisis five years ago, has been divided between government forces and terrorists since the summer of 2012.
About 250,000 civilians still live in Aleppo's militant-controlled eastern neighborhoods, effectively under siege since the army cut off the last road into rebel districts in early July.
The terrorists are trying to break through a strip of government-controlled territory to reconnect their encircled sector of eastern Aleppo with militant territory in the west of Syria.
Seizing full control would be the biggest victory for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in five years of fighting and demonstrate the dramatic shift of fortunes in his favor since Russia joined the war on his side last year.
