The representative of the Northern (Syrian) Kurdistan in Moscow, Rodi Osman, said today that Turkish troops could not enter Afrin, reports RIA News.
Despite fierce clashes, Turkey and its groups were unable to enter Afrin. Today, on the border, the walls they set up were removed to go from the ground to Afrin. But they got tough resistance, and as a result they had to retreat,

It was also noted that Turkish troops have not yet encountered serious resistance from the Kurds, whose troops are moving away from the border into the depths of Syrian territory.
