Dozens of people carrying flags and banners marched from the Paris Gare du Nord railway station to the Place de la Republique square on Saturday.

"I am Afrin," "Political Solution for Kurdistan," the banners read as people were marching along the streets under the accompaniment of folk music.

Earlier in the day, the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces announced that Ankara had established full control over Afrin.

On January 20, Ankara, jointly with the opposition Free Syrian Army forces, launched Operation Olive Branch in Afrin.

Damascus has condemned the operation as a violation of Syria's sovereignty.
