US and Turkey plan to sign the so-called “Train and Equip”, new military agreement, by which both countries become obliged to train and equip the fighters of the so-called “moderate opposition” in Syria, “Reuters” reports.
According to the US official sources in the framework of the struggle against Islamic State, the US is obliged to send more than 400 military servers, special operation forces included, who are going to train the fighters of “moderate opposition” outside Syria.

“Negotiations have been concluded and an agreement text will be signed with the U.S regarding the training of the Free Syrian Army in the coming period. We will share all the technical details, when the text is signed, but it is anticipated that this will happen in the coming days”, - Turkish foreign ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgic stated.
