DAMASCUS, April 6 (Xinhua) -- The Turkish forces have established a total of 56 military observation points in northern Syria since October of 2017, a war monitor reported Monday.

The latest Turkish point was established on Monday, a day after three points were set up in the countryside of Idlib province in northwestern Syria, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Turkish forces established their observation point in Idlib in October of 2017.

In February 2018, the Turkish military observation points were expanded in northern and southeastern Idlib.

As of Sept. 15, 2018, the Turkish observation posts became an official part of the 2018 Idlib demilitarization agreement reached between Russia and Turkey about creating a demilitarized zone in Idlib.
