Petar + 76 PP January 19, 2018 (edited) By the latest information Turkey plans direct military action against territory held by Kurdish militia, potentially opening a new front in Syria’s civil war. This step could opening Pandora's box. In same time Turkey has accused Russia for collaboration with Kurd's. On the other side, The U.S. State Department called on Turkey "to focus on the fight against Islamic State militants and not to take military action in Afrin".Very, very, interesting...

Petar + 76 PP January 19, 2018 Looks like they are starting... BBC one hour ago:"Turkey steps up Syria shelling as invasion of Afrin looms..Turkish Defence Minister Nurettin Canikli said the shelling was the "de-facto start" of a planned invasion of Afrin."

damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 19, 2018 I believe, how U.S. will not be satisfied with Turkish action on North. ISIS is priority, but Turkey wants destroy Kurdish territory at any cost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel + 384 PP January 19, 2018 With this kind of approach Turkey will help ISIS flourish in Syria. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP January 19, 2018 The Kurds fight against IS and the Turks fight against the Kurds !? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 19, 2018 And Turkey is in NATO, like U.S.,France, UK...What will say allies? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP January 19, 2018 It is vital to see which side Russia will take in this after last Turkish move? Russia has around 300 military observers deployed in Afrin and we know the Turks held talks in Moscow yesterday. Turkish media says the Russians withdrew from Afrin, but we should wait for official confirmation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 19, 2018 What a mess?! They're Syrians 1st and foremost. Damascus will help them more then anyway. And, it's a sure Iran will be on their side.Focus must be on ISIS, not on YPG. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pavel + 384 PP January 19, 2018 Kurds play U.S. and Russia off one another, holding onto cards of US military support on one hand, and Russian willingness to give Kurds seats at peace talks on other. Russia also can always offer an escape hatch for Kurds to reconcile with Damascus if no other option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pavel + 384 PP January 22, 2018 Boris Johnson, Foreign Secretary UK "Watching developments in Afrin closely. Turkey is right to want to keep its borders secure.

damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 22, 2018 Turkey’s exact problem is the Kurds and has been for the past century. Millions of Kurds wanting equal rights as Turks. Can’t be all of them like a terrorist threat? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP January 22, 2018 Big coutries like UK, France and US are supporting Kurds while they were fighting against IS, they protected them with your war planes,now they are telling this same Kurds are actually bad guys and Turkey needs to be supported...

Pavel + 384 PP January 22, 2018 Kurds in Syria have sacrificed thousands of their life's against Dash terrorist for the sake of all the world especially West and USA in return West and USA allowing Turkey to made invasion on Afrin. I understand how all of us must support fight against DASH/ISIS, but in same time, concrete, we are talking about a innocent Kurd's which are a victims now.

damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 22, 2018 I agree a country has a right to keep its borders secure. Strange when they starts invasion crossing the border. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel + 384 PP January 22, 2018 Yes. I agree with you. Every country has the right to keep their borders safe. How does that legalize Turkey for sending boots on the ground in Syria? I thought the Kurds gained respect in their victory over ISIS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP January 22, 2018 I’m afraid keeping your borders secure and invading another country must be seen as two separate things. It seems ok. for Turkey to ethnically cleansed the Kurds .All Kurds are not PKK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
