(Anadolu) Hundreds of people from the Turkish-American community gathered outside the White House this weekend to voice their support for Turkey’s efforts to end the Assad regime’s violence in northwestern Syria.
The rally Saturday afternoon in Lafayette Square came after the Syrian regime launched a deadly attack late Thursday in Idlib province that martyred at least 34 Turkish troops.
Since then, Turkey has been hitting the regime’s positions in Idlib through Operation Spring Shield, which began Sunday.
Children read out the names of the fallen soldiers at the beginning of the rally followed by a reading of the national anthem and recitation of [verses] from the Quran.
