Ankara: Trkiye on Monday rejected the claim that the Syrian Army's operations are being coordinated from a Damascus government headquarters with instructions given in Turkish, calling the allegations 'false.'
According to Anadolu Agency, Trkiye's Center for Combating Disinformation (DMM) stated that the footage in question shows the prevention of illegal attempts to cross into Turkish borders and was originally shared in 2021. The center emphasized that the images were 'deliberately re-circulated after being manipulated through editing and the addition of Arabic audio.'
The DMM further noted the importance of vigilance among Trkiye's regional neighbors. "It is of importance that our friends, brothers and neighbours with whom we have shared common values for centuries across this region to remain vigilant and exercise due caution against such disinformation," the statement said.
