Turkish armored vehicles entered Afrin

129
Turkish Tanks and other armored vehicles entered Syrian Afrin to support the opposition Free Syrian Army in operations against Kurdish units, reports RIA News with reference to the channel NTV.





According to the TV channel, the Turkish military has not yet encountered serious resistance from the Kurds, whose troops depart from the border deep into Syrian territory.

On Saturday, the Turkish Armed Forces launched Operation Olive Branch against Kurdish forces. The operation began with airstrikes. The Turkish Defense Ministry stated that only “terrorist objects” were attacked.

Meanwhile, the council of the canton of Afrin reported 13-ti injured civilians, including two children. Kurdish troops, in turn, declared their readiness to defend themselves.

Official Damascus condemned the actions of Turkey, calling them an encroachment on the sovereignty of Syria.

Moscow blamed the crisis on Washington. The Defense Ministry noted that provocative actions by the United States, "aimed at separating areas with predominantly Kurdish population," led to the crisis.

          And could they do something else during the offensive of the Turkish army?

          However, evaluate the phrase from the article:
          Turkish tanks and other armored vehicles entered Syrian Afrin to provide support opposition Free Syrian Army

          And yesterday everyone sang that these same pro-American SSAs would be ironed. How interesting are these Free Armies there?

            There, everyone who is against Assad, but they are afraid of getting Lyuli, calling themselves terrorists, call themselves the Syrian Free Army. no matter who their owner and sponsor is. This is more comfortable.
            There is an American SSA.

          Today, aviation is not involved. Yesterday 72 F-16s attacked 108 targets and all returned safely to base. (Nobody paid any attention to Assad’s scarecrows) By the way, yesterday a military expert on Turkish TV said this phrase- "Our aviation has calculated all the options for threats. Including from the air defense, which nominally belongs to Syria, but in reality the Russians are in charge." Among other things, the military airfield was bombed, through which the Kurds received help. At night, Kurdish positions from the MLRS were ironed. And in the morning, the artillery was connected. Ground forces have already crossed the border and are slowly moving forward. Judging by the personnel, the population greets the Turks with enthusiasm. In the first wave - the SSA fighters, and only then the Turkish army. While they go without loss.

            If we hadn’t agreed with Russia, then, naturally, no planes would have flown there. The Russians gave freedom of action. And Assad, as the head of the country, simply had to say something about the sovereignty of the state. It is appropriate to save face. Although, he is well aware of the agreements between the Russians and the Turks.

      Not everything is so categorical. Turks are acting in our interests. Noticed neither our Defense Ministry nor the Iranians have anything against. The Kurds on the suction of the mattresses decided to seize what they never belonged to in the guise of a civil war. Sooner or later, Assad would have to pick out the Kurds from there. The concerns of the Foreign Ministry and the Defense Ministry of Syria are on duty.
      We don’t know much of what, more than sure that there are agreements between the Syrians, Iranians and Turks, with our mediation. Absolutely none of this quartet is interested in strengthening the Kurds.

              You read what I wrote, right? It will be easier to "pick out" a Turk, from the point of view of international law. Much easier than organizing a massacre with your own citizens, which the Kurds are.

The Turkish trend of the year before last: "it would be better if we shot down our plane."

                  Do they exist, these same positions? recourse From all the porridge I still did not understand what forces these Kurds have - a platoon, company, regiment, division or a herd of artiodactyls? While it reminds a documentary film about Israel and the Palestinians - the kids leave stones at the soldiers, then they bury one dead man with a horde of people and protest something there.

                    I think the Turks are not bombing the towns and cities, but the ammunition depots, the headquarters and I dare say all the same positions. (Depending on who understands this word.) They all have platoons and regiments. great. And in the ranks of men, if there are women, then this is generally a war not for life, but for death.
                    There was such a case in Ar.tsakh. When 22 volunteers from the PKK were assigned to 2 volunteers from my village. They took the height by losing one volunteer. Although before that they were afraid to lean out of the trench. True, only two of the volunteers had previously participated in the war.

                      The question was simple - how many and which ones. Erdogan also danced from here for sure. He created an advantage, determined the flanks and directions, reserves and supplies, conducted aviation and artillery training. He didn’t take one thing into account - he would have to feed and heal these “opponents”. They are now draping, and then they will sit on their necks like a "victim." Straight Jewish-Palestinian conflict. The boys leave with stones, and then they will receive benefits. belay And the tales of two women and the loss of one brow during the assault - to the children.

I am sure that if the borders weren’t as they are now - drawn by the powers that be, but like those on this map, then there would be no many problems and contradictions now.

    Turkey is pushing the Kurds to join the Syrian army and fight together against the invaders. If they achieve this it will be a great common victory. It remains to offer the Turks to leave and finish off this "free army". In the meantime, the US government is sitting on unpaid leave to bomb terrorist camps with their teachers together.

    Not mine, but I liked it:
    If you look at the facts, we see the following picture:
    - Of the one and a half dozen Kurdish clans in Syria, only one is not oriented to America;
    - But this clan, which for some reason is terrified by some as either “ours” or “pro-Russian,” is not going to obey the Syrian government and return to its composition;
    - The Kurdish idea of ​​autonomy in practice means that they have all the rights of a sovereign state, without the slightest responsibility - which is not realistic in any case;
    - All Kurdish clans are a threat to Turkey, even those with which the Turks have currently agreed (this is part of the Kurds in Iraq);
    - Turkey wants, can and intends to eliminate this threat, has all the resources and acts.

    That is, in fact, we see that the Kurds are a threat to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Syria - that is, they are a problem that needs to be addressed (otherwise why bother getting into it).

    And if Erdogan is ready to solve this problem at the expense of his resources, then why should we bother him in this?

    Our task is to ensure that he remains within our framework and correct it if he tries to marry them. Observe their interests and, as part of that, the interests of Syria ...
    And here our interests coincide with the Turkish for the most part. At least at this stage ...

              Kurds are a formation within the ATS, and putting order there is an internal affair of the ATS. Therefore, if the Turkish army and the SSA detachments spread precisely these Kurds, they will take control of the entire occupied territory and begin to build up attacks and provocations in other operational areas that the Asad troops are closing in. This is not an anti-terrorist operation of the Turkish army, but a full-scale occupation with with the battle of land the Turks will not leave voluntarily, because this fully meets their goals of the war. And this is not an ice at all, because you could still have a dialogue with the Kurds and try to negotiate (or inflict a military defeat). With Erdogan, the weakened Assad will not be able to conduct political bargaining at all, not to mention a military solution to the problem . In your passage (... Not mine, but I liked it :), in which for some reason you were embarrassed to give the name of the author of these peppy theses, everything looks as if everything is good and under control. Yes, even this mysterious thought at the very end : And here our interests coincide with the Turkish ones for the most part. At least at this stage ...
              At this stage, Jack! And then they will start stabbing and pressing Assad from this ledge. So I see nothing positive in the Turkish operation. And in the very near future we will all witness this, unfortunately.

The Russian Federation entered the SAR for completely different reasons, and certainly, unlike the USSR, it doesn’t give a damn about the dismantling of Turks and Kurds ..., incl.

          Then the Turks are guilty of holding this territory for hundreds of years or the British shaving with the French who created never existed states on this territory, and those where national minorities are in power. Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan are just timed land mines. Some have already rushed, while the time of others has not come yet. By the way, Turkey itself is not a fountain with demography. Turkish women do not want to give birth, but Kurdish women are doing this quite actively. Time works for the Kurds, which is why Erdogan is so nervous.

Not at all embarrassed by the fact that they themselves entered them in their register of terrorists. The Big Game continues. Moreover, there is a firm conviction that the USA went wrong and it’s not their president who decides something, but each of the 17 is like intelligence communities, and their interests are directly perpendicular to each other and are not paralleled by anyone.

On the other hand, the United States and Russia are promoting the idea of ​​federalizing Syria, read Kurdish autonomy. Both sides are trying to take Kurds to their hands. Perdoganych is angry, and he decided to dunk some Kurds. It will free the territory, or maybe even seize, it is not known when, according to the situation.

    There will be no peace in Syria until there are the USA, which deliberately began to drown for an independent Kurdistan (although they do not need it at all) precisely with the aim of provoking Turkey into a military operation against the Kurds, which, unfortunately, are in Syria - formally that Turkey is fighting with Syria.
    Well, who then are these Kurds?
    Another people who lit mattress covers. The Turks will eventually get a war with the Kurds, including on their territory - this will be their price for the desire to chop off the territory of Syria under the guise.
    The next state ally who will be forced to engage in fighting is Israel. Israel will be drawn into the war against the Arabs not at all for Israel to win, but just the opposite - for it to lose and to chaotize the territory of the BV even more, because the states need Islamic radicals as a huge force capable of keeping the world in suspense.

      The postscript quotes:
      YPG Kurdish police have issued a statement in connection with the start of the Turkish operation “Olive Branch” in Afrin.

      Russia transferred its forces from Afrin to another part of the country and expressed "concern" in connection with the escalation.

      The Kurds emphasized: “we hold the responsibility for these attacks equally on the Turkish occupation forces and on Russia.”

    And how many of them will be moved like that until they bump into the Syrian army and what's next?
    And how much they will push them across the territory of Syria and then try to expel the Turks from there.
    Of course, I'm still a strategist sitting on a sofa with a laptop, but it seems to me that it was unnecessary for Turkey to let it do that.
    They said that let the Turks of the Kurds and Assad will have to deal with them, but wouldn’t it turn out so that by moving the Kurds of the Syrian army the Turks will have to fight back and it seems to me a different weight category.

    About the situation in Afghanistan from Colonel Kassad:
    "..... 3. The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed concern about what is happening and urged the parties to“ show restraint. "Officially they blamed the USA for their decision to provide the Kurds with weapons (and the subsequent deception of Erdogan, who was promised not to give the Kurds weapons) and promises to create an 30 000 army on the Turkish borders, provoked Turkey to attack the Kurdish territories.In principle, if after Afrin the Turkish attack on Manbij follows, there is a chance of a forced closure of the Kurdish project in Syria, in the spirit of closing Iraqi Kurdis Iran last fall.It is quite obvious that Syria, Turkey, Iran and Russia are not interested in American combinations with the Kurds and if there is no other choice, they will be treated the same as they did with the Barzani clan, but so far the Kurds are offered an alternative. with the recognition of Assad’s leadership and the rejection of American support. Asad himself said that those who accept help from the Americans, Damascus will be considered traitors .... "
    "... 5. The United States urged Turkey to exercise restraint. The Turkish Foreign Minister in talks with Trump's national security adviser Macmaster again demanded (hehe, wonderful times came when Turkey systematically demands something from Washington) that the US stop support for PYD / YPG, stopped all deliveries of weapons to the Kurds and took what they already delivered.
    The Americans said they shared Turkey’s concern, but didn’t give promises to pick up weapons. Americans can be understood by forcing the Kurdish project, they underestimated the opposition of opponents. In Iraq, they had already lost when Suleimani brutally treated the Kurds in Kirkuk. Refusing to support the Kurds now means the second time in 2 years to remain in Syria with nothing. Therefore, Washington continues to loop, but it will become much more difficult if Turkey seriously starts preparing an invasion of the territory of Rojava, taking advantage of the same concern that Washington shares. And in this case, the United States will be put in a hard fork, as they gave the Rozhava Kurds direct security guarantees and they should protect them. Defend against a NATO ally. Such a bizarre collision may form in the near future. Of course, what is happening further pushes Turkey towards Russia and Iran .... "

              The fact that they did not swear is understandable. With the Kurds there is a chance to come to an agreement, but hardly with the Turks. And they gathered courage with the tacit consent of Russia and the USA. You do not have to be a prophet to predict the future relations of Turkey with Russia and the United States. History has long put everything on the shelves. Only we all do experiments. About the corridor left by Assad’s troops, it means priority in choosing potential allies.

    On the Turkish side, the pro-Turkish opposition forces invaded Syria (your Foreign Ministry calls them terrorists) whose purpose is to overthrow your "friend" Assad. Are you implying that Russia has joined forces with NATO in this?

    And what place is the 82 year Hama connected with Libya, Iraq, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, etc.?
    Well, you remembered, Professor, the events of the last century! Although, I will not blame you, there is nothing fresh to remember ...

    It’s you who are trying to attach Libya, Iraq, Ukraine, Yugoslavia to Syria. What for?
    The Hama massacre that occurred not even in the last century, but in the last millennium, is directly related to what is happening in Syria. The Assad family is still sitting on the throne, and the Alawite minority is still trying to control the Sunni majority.

    PS
    Here is the "yellow press". wink

      Ah, Professor, where there was only such a thread. It’s bad that there are fans to add oil to the fire! Although, I know for sure that all nations want to live in peace, only they do not give it!

        The fact that your Foreign Ministry has gotten water in his mouth does not cancel the fact of participation of the armed Syrian opposition on the Turkish side. Links fill up or do it yourself? wink

        Ethnic and religious conflict is what is happening in Syria today, but you can continue the causes of the war in Washington. The master is the master.

          Well, it does not cancel and does not cancel, let it be your way, but I do not understand what this proves. There are some backstage donations that we don’t know about, and guessing is not grateful. But nobody forbids you to do this ... smile And about the Foreign Ministry - yours is still silent. wink

          Are Iraqi Kurds also Communists?

          In this situation, when the USA and the Russian Federation have turned their backs on these communists, they will be glad of any help, even from accomplices of imperialism. Give them a hundred spikes, the Turks will lose a hundred leopards, the blitzkrieg will fail and the battle (Turks vs Kurds) will be thrown into the territory of Turkey. All in chocolate.
