Never-Ending Flow of Trucks from Turkey Provides Terrorists in Syria with Ammo: Russian Gen.

Trucks carrying weapons for the al-Nusra Front cross Turkish-Syrian border daily, Russian General Staff, Lt. Gen. Sergey Rudskoy, told journalists.

According to sputniknews.com, Lt. Gen. Sergey Rudskoy told journalist in his press briefing on Friday that Trucks of ammunition and weapons are continuously being delivered to the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front terrorists in Syria from Turkish border.

“The never-ending flow of large trucks from Turkey carrying weapons and ammunition crosses the Turkish-Syrian border.”

“This constant feed of live forces and weapons allows terrorists from the Nusra Front to continue their provocative shelling and make advances on Syrian government forces, which diminishes [government military] activity against Islamic State [ISIS] terrorists in other areas,” Rudskoy said during a briefing.

“Everyone knows, and our US partners admit that the biggest hot spots of active military operations are those parts of the Syrian Republic where the al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists from the al-Nusra Front run rampant.”

Despite awareness of US about where the terrorists are most active, the US has refused to conduct joint operations against terrorist groups in Syria leading to an escalation of the conflict, according to Rudskoy.

Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu offered to conduct joint air strikes against terrorist groups in Syria, but the Pentagon declined the offer. However, The Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry says Moscow hasn’t ruled out a possible joint operation in the future.
