On 6 February 2021, Official Gazette of Turkey announced Turkey's plan to open a new health care vocational school and a medical faculty in Al-Rai.[6] [7] Syrian Foreign Ministry expressed their objection through Syria's official news agency SANA , and named the decision "a dangerous act and a flagrant violation of international law".[8]
Syrian Civil War
[ edit ]
In the Syrian Civil War , al-Rai was captured by Free Syrian Army (FSA) forces and held until early February 2014, when the FSA-allies the Al-Tawhid Brigade and Conquest Brigade were assaulted by a predominantly Chechen unit of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant , (ISIL) who seized the town on 3 February 2014.[9]
Since then, ISIL considered the town its main stronghold in the Aleppo countryside.[10] In the course of their Northern Aleppo offensive , FSA units captured the town twice in April 2016 and in June 2016, but both times were not able to withstand counterattacks by ISIL. The FSA recaptured the town a third time in the August 2016 Battle of al-Rai , but lost it yet another time to an ISIL counterattack later in August.[11] [12] On 3 September 2016, rebels were reported to have recaptured the town for the fourth time with the help of Turkish forces (including tanks) and to have seized several villages close by.[13] [14]
Syrian Turkmen Brigades ' political wing Syrian Turkmen Assembly announced the relocation of its headquarters into Al-Rai on 31 December 2019, which was previously located in Istanbul , Turkey.[15]
