ANKARA

Turkey’s ongoing military operation in Syria’s Afrin is going “successfully and according to plan,” a senior Turkish official has said, following a high-level security summit headed by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Jan. 23.

The summit was convened on the fourth day of “Operation Olive Branch” at the presidential complex in Ankara with the participation of senior military and civilian officials.

The advance of the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) is continuing, President’s Spokesman İbrahim Kalın said in a written statement, vowing that Turkey’s operations would continue until all the terrorists in the region were eliminated and the more-than three million Syrian refugees in Turkey could return to their homes in full security.
