Turkish intelligence agency working to evacuate radical groups in Eastern Ghouta
2018-03-17
[Hurriyet Daily News] The Ottoman Turkish intelligence agency is undergoing efforts to remove radical groups from Eastern Ghouta through communication with moderate opposition groups in the field, in order to end the regime’s attacks on civilians in the last rebel stronghold that has been under siege by the Syrian government since 2013, according to sources.

"The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire....
 is carrying out work through some moderate opposition, which are also represented in the Astana process, in order to evacuate radical elements from the region that have been shown by the regime as an excuse for attacks on civilians in Eastern Ghouta," Ottoman Turkish security sources told Hurriyet Daily News on condition of anonymity.

Turkey is concerned about the humanitarian emergency in East Ghouta and is trying to find a solution in a bid to prevent further civilian casualties, sources have said, noting that hundreds of civilians bit the dust and hundreds were maimed during attacks last week because of the regime’s air and land elements.

Turkey will focus on the evacuation of civilians from Syria’s East Ghouta in the upcoming period and its National Intelligence Agency (MIT) is carrying out work for the removal of al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ...
 from the besieged area, Ottoman Turkish Presidential Spokesperson Ibrahim Kalin said on March 15.
