Turkish military operation into the northern Afrin province of Syria has 'actively begun in the field,' President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Jan. 20, speaking in the central Anatolian province of Kütahya.
Syria's Manbij will be the next destination for a Turkish combat operation, Erdoğan added, addressing the crowd during the sixth regular congress held by his Justice and Development Party (AKP).
"The promises made to us over Manbij were not kept. So nobody can object if we do what is necessary," Erdoğan said, referring to past U.S. assurances that the Peoples' Protection Unit (YPG) would move out of Afrin.
"Later we will, step by step, clear our country up to the Iraqi border from this terror filth that is trying to besiege our country."

ReplyDelete"Suriye’de kendilerince bir oyun kurgulayanlar, terör örgütünün adını değiştirerek kurnazlık yaptıklarını sanıyorlar. Bizim gözümüzde adı ne olursa olsun teröristlerden müteşekkil her türlü organizasyonun adı terör örgütüdür. Yok Suriye Demokratik Güçleri’ymiş, yok sınır ordusuymuş, yok sınır muhafızlarıymış, yok iç güvenlik oluşumuymuş, siz kimi kandırıyorsunuz ya. Bu örgütün adı PKK’dır, bu örgütün adı PYD’dir, bu örgütün adı YPG’dir."
