Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported a violent explosion at a Turkish occupation military base, after midnight on Saturday, in the village of Al-Ayoun in the countryside of Marea town, northwestern Syria.
Our correspondent indicated that the explosion hit a location in the Azaz area in the northern countryside of Aleppo, which is under the control of the militants of the Turkish-backed so-called "Syrian National Army."
Preliminary information indicates that a car inside the Turkish occupation base was targeted.
It is noteworthy that under the pretext of fighting militants of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), Turkey has unlawfully deployed its forces in northern Iraq and Syria, illegally occupying land and violating sovereignty and frequently conducting aerial operations in both countries' northern regions.
The past few months have witnessed growing efforts to establish a political roadmap to normalize relations between Syria and Turkey.
Damascus has presented a three-point outline that would guide any potential relations based on the country's sovereignty and interests and include the full "withdrawal of Turkish forces" and an "end to their occupation."
But talks have been at a stalemate in the recent period after Turkey failed to deliver long-standing commitments, especially with regard to ending its support to terrorist groups in Idlib - on top of which is Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS).
