U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack said Friday that detained fighters were exchanged in Syria.
With the valued assistance of the @ICRC, 25 government fighters and 61 Druze fighters were exchanged yesterday in a smooth and orderly process. Families reunited. A step away from vengeance, and a step toward stability.
