'Islamist' Sometimes NATO Ally Turkey welcomes fall of key city in Syria’s north to Terrorist group Al Nusra. (HD).


Turkish officials have expressed their satisfaction at the seizure of the northern Syrian city of Idlib by opposition forces, stressing that the Ankara-supported Free Syrian Army (FSA) was part of the winning side.

The coalition that seized Idlib city on March 28 was composed of the al-Nusra Front, the official Syrian affiliate of al-Qaeda, as well as several Islamist factions.

“The al-Nusra Front and its allies have captured all of Idlib,” the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, according to AFP. “There is still a group of soldiers fighting in the security quarter of the city, but they will not be able to reverse the situation,” Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman added.

“Turkey is content that the opposition has captured Idlib. Our support for the FSA will continue,” a Turkish official told daily Hürriyet on condition of anonymity. The official also stressed it is wrong to credit only al-Nusra for the success, which “boosted” the FSA’s morale.

The 'jihadist' group al-Nusra also announced the capture of the northwestern city on its official Twitter account. Hmmmm......Flashback: Turkey removes Al Nusra from Al-Qaeda terrorist list. I guess that was the first step to 'white wash' their terrorist buddies. :) Now called 'Jihadis' !

*Flashback 18 June 2014 - Obama's BFF And NATO 'Ally' Turkey REMOVES Al-Nusrah Front, Jabhet al-Nusrah, Jabhet al-Nusrah, The Victory Front from the terrorist org. list.
