Pavel + 384 PP January 29, 2018 It's a clear how Turkey-based journalists have an impossible task covering(objective) this conflict. All media organisation should be thinking about how to alleviate pressure on their staff there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franco + 96 FM January 29, 2018 When authorities threaten our basic rights to speak our mind and protest unfairness, the people defending those rights need to be free, not locked up in prison. It's a motto of Amn. Int. but TR Erdogan didn't care about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 29, 2018 He goes on ... I don't think that he thinks a lot about freedom of journalism and journalist rights. Last statment: "Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announces that Turkish troops clear Bursaya Mountain from YPG terrorists; the mountain is a strategic area located in northern Syria..."

damirUSBiH + 327 DD February 1, 2018 The Kurds are one of the world's largest peoples without a state, making up sizable minorities in Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP February 1, 2018 Kurds are relatively passive in Syria as compared to Turkey or Iraq.There are becoming more and more volatile particularly in Turkey. Fallout there could be more disastrous than elsewhere.The renewed authoritarianism under President Erdognan poses real challenge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damirUSBiH + 327 DD February 1, 2018 yeah, the problem is if kurds make country it would hurt the national interests of every country that neighbors them! So they need to be really flexible and open for negotiations if they want to even dream. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

franco + 96 FM February 1, 2018 It's seems to me, Turkey doesn't want peace in Syria. Erdogan wants an excuse to invade Syria, and probably ethnically cleanse Kurdish areas and the war with the PKK gives him the ultimate excuse to do this. And, of course he has support from Russia and Putin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damirUSBiH + 327 DD February 1, 2018 Probably, most description sentence about Erdogan ( the same goes for Putin) First, he “cleansed” dissent by jailing political rivals, media, and academics. Then, he spread fear of inner enemies. Now, he started with attack outside from the border. So, similar and sadly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
