Turkey reopens Syrian border gate

The Oncupinar crossing point in the southeastern province of Kilis is open again, the local provincial governor told Anadolu Agency.

On November 14 Turkey temporarily closed the gate but Ismail Catakli said on Thursday the situation on the Syrian side had returned to normal.

The crossing, which is a major point for traffic between Turkey and opposition-held areas of northern Syria, lies around six kilometers (four miles) from the Syrian town of Azaz, which is controlled by Turkey-backed opposition groups.
