The operation of the Turkish army in the Syrian canton of Afrin comes to its logical conclusion. Deprived of US support, the Kurds are steadily losing their influence in the north-west of the country. In recent days, pro-Turkish forces have managed to recapture several key cities near the administrative center of the canton, which marked the collapse of the defense of the Kurdish units.
However, the Kurds do not abandon attempts to stop the onset of enemy forces. According to media reports related to the National Self-Defense Detachments, the militants carried out a successful operation against the Special Operations Forces of the Turkish Armed Forces. As a result, seven Turkish special forces were killed.
Be that as it may, the situation in Afrin is not in favor of the Kurds. If the intensity of the fighting continues, then in a week or two the city will be taken, and in another month the entire north-west of Syria will be under the control of Turkey and the pro-Turkish forces.
