TEHRAN, Jan. 12 (MNA) – One of the most prominent Turkish liaison officers was killed during the conflict between Ankara's forces and the Kurdish SDF elements near the Tishrin Dam in Syria.

An informed source announced that one of Turkey's most prominent liaison officers was killed in clashes around Syria's Tishrin Dam.

Turkey-affiliated forces have been trying to take control of the Tishrin Dam and its strategic facilities in a conflict with the Syrian Kurdish forces (SDF) since 2 weeks ago, the source added.

He added that the death of the Turkish officer is a huge blow to Ankara because it is losing its special forces in the Tishrin Dam clashes.
