damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 22, 2018 So, my conclusion about Turkish operation in Afrin continues. Kurds have few options since no one will help: 1- YPG pulls out of Afrin, allow Turks in & save the city destruction &loss of lives. 2- Allow regime troops back in Afrin. Turkey will not fight regime &Russia. 3- Fight till the end. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP January 22, 2018 To save lifes and stop the war, option 2 its the best one. They can always negotiate a autonomy inside Syria, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seleskya + 50 AS January 22, 2018 Wait until Assad starts bombing Turkish warplanes in the north ... then the fun begins. He won't do it the Russians don't let him, though. But that 'chain of command' is exactly what's got Erdogan so paranoid: whispers of a US-Russia deal to get things back under regime control in Syria.

damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 23, 2018 The Kurds are in hard position.‘Kurdistan for Kurds?’ Not such a hot idea. One, they’d be surrounded on all sides by enemies- Turkey, Iraq and Syria. Two, they’d be landlocked. Overall, not a happy situation. Better to try and survive as independent states in 3 countries... without trying to force a new nation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel + 384 PP January 24, 2018 Turkey will continue to use airspace across Afrin in northern Syria, where it recently launched ' 'Olive Branch' - Deputy PM of Turkey. When do they think to stop the invasion? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pavel + 384 PP January 26, 2018 Turkey's president Tayip Erdogan says military operation to make big sweep east across Syria. “Operation Olive Branch will continue until it reaches its goals. We will rid Manbij of terrorists, as it was promised to us, and our battles will continue until no terrorist is left until our border with Iraq,” Erdogan said in his speech in Ankara Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 26, 2018 Manbij is potential red line for all sides in Syria! Why? American's troops are in Manbij and if Erdogan really wants to " liberate" Manbij, a potential conflict is there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP January 26, 2018 U.S. forces were deployed in and around Manbij. They have also carried out training missions(YPG) in the area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 26, 2018 A leader which has dismissed and devalued every single morality, ethics, and international war rules, he’s abused his own citizens’ trust by denying Mustafa Kemal Attaturk, including his own 25 million Kurds in Turkey! All nations and ethnic groups in Turkey deserve better than this. And better than Erdogan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel + 384 PP January 29, 2018 Few things, generally, about on Afrin coverage: 1. Most stories in int. press are being written by Turkey-based reporters 2. Turkey is top jailer of journos, Kurdish issue particularly sensitive. Difficult for journos to write freely 3. This will impact coverage. News orgs should be open about it....
