Turkish FM: 'Syrian army still in key towns' - Middle East - Al Jazeera English

Turkish FM: 'Syrian army still in key towns' - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "Syrian state media says security forces have withdrawn from the city of Deir ez-Zor and key areas in Latakia, however witnesses have rejected these claims.

Convoys of army vehicles were seen leaving Deir ez-Zor after the military cleared the area of 'armed terrorist gangs', SANA, the state-run news agency, reported. Footage showed pictures of crowds chanting and cheering as the soldiers left.

But on Wednesday, Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish Foreign Minister said Syrian troops were still in the city. Witnesses also said troops have not yet withdrawn."
