The new Syrian authorities have taken complete control over the border checkpoints in the north of the country, which were under the control of Turkey for about ten years.
The transferred checkpoints are Jarablus, Al-Rai, Bab Al-Salam, and Al-Hamam, located in the northern part of Aleppo province.
"As of this morning, these points are completely controlled by the new Syrian government," the statement said, detailing that the transfer took place after a meeting between representatives of the Syrian and Turkish authorities.
