Turkish-backed Forces Claim Victory in Afrin

Turkish-backed forces in Syria have taken full control of the Afrin enclave that has been held by Syrian Kurds. Turkish soldiers and local militias entered the center of Afrin Sunday after a two-month offensive. Kurds protest the offensive calling it ethnic cleansing and vow to continue the fight to keep their ancestral lands in Syria. Turkey says it is fighting the YPG militia. VOA’s Zlatica Hoke reports.
