Turkiye will transfer two patrol ships and six F-16 aircraft to
Qatar, Azernews reports.
According to the ministry, TCG KUMKALE ve TCG KUŞADASI military
vessels will depart on July 26 from the territory of the Aksaz
naval base in the southwestern province of Mugla, and military
aircraft will fly to Doha on July 30.
"Aircraft and vessels will be subordinated to the Command of the
Qatar-Turkiye joint forces in order to participate in training
programs and conduct exercises," the Turkish Defense Ministry
said.
The Defense Ministry also shared the latest data in the field of
combating terrorism. In the last week alone, the Turkish military
has neutralized 94 terrorists in the region, and in general, 1,521
militants since the beginning of the year.
According to the ministry, 795 militants have been neutralized
in northern Syria this year as part of anti-terrorist operations,
and 726 more have been neutralized in northern Iraq.
Referring to the possibility of resuming joint patrols of the M4
highway with Russia in Idlib, the Turkish Defense Ministry said:
"The Turkish army is taking and will continue to take all possible
steps to ensure peace and tranquility in the region. The issue of
ensuring safety on the M4 highway is being discussed. Turkiye is
ready to take responsibility for any issues aimed at contributing
to stability in the region.
At the same time, Ankara again criticized the US actions in
Syria, stressing the inadmissibility of Washington's contacts with
the Syrian wing of the PKK - YPG terrorist organization.
"It is unacceptable to fight some terrorists with the hands of
other bloody organizations. We hope for the sincerity of the United
States in supporting Ankara's efforts to eliminate the threat of
terrorism in the region," the ministry stressed.
