The source preferred not to be identified for security reasons from inside the areas occupied by the Turkish state and mercenaries said, “Some mercenary gangs want to leave these areas in order to reach their families in Idlib governorate which is being bombed by the Syrian regime and Russia.

But Turkey prevents them from returning according to the information revealed by the source, obliging the mercenaries to take illegal roads, but as a result, they are targeted by the Turkish occupation army.

The source made clear that the only way for mercenaries to return to Idlib is to go to Libya, as Turkey requests them to do so, then return from there to Idlib.

In this context, the Syrian Observatory has previously published that the number of fighters who arrived in the Libyan capital Tripoli reached 300 mercenaries, while the number of mercenaries who arrived in the Turkish camps to receive training ranged between 900 to 1,000 mercenaries.

The source revealed Turkish instructions to the mercenary gangs to intensify violations practiced against the civilians in the region to force them to displace, which opens the way for Turkey to bring the mercenaries’ families to the occupied region, thus the goal of demographic change is achieved.
