          And this suggests that there is an agreement between Erdogan and Putin (and maybe Assad). Kurds will be crushed until they agree to leave Afrin. And the Turks will surrender the liberated city to Assad, you can not even doubt it.

            hi
            We must pay tribute - the Turks are consistent and persistent in their actions, whether we like it or not. Persistently break the Kurds, toughly respond to the EU, unequivocally kick the Americans from Incirlik, and they are not too ceremonious with us. What will this lead to see in the near future. But with this neighbor one must keep an eye out, however, as with China.

      What does genocide have to do with it? When Soviet troops surrounded the Germans in Stalingrad, this was not called genocide. Or when they surrounded Aleppo, they also did not call it genocide. And when the Turks are surrounded by illegal military units, is this genocide? Let them go or surrender.

          All military units and the government located in Afrin are illegal because are not subordinate to the Syrian Government. The intention of the Turkish army is to clear the area from these illegal entities and transfer it to the Syrian government. At least the Turkish troops in the cleared territories do not hoist their flag.

    The answer is that there are no American oil fields, but where there is, the result is already known.

    You should not translate this topic into a national plane. This is not about Kurds, but about terrorists. Why is the Kurdish ethnos advertised? In Afrin, there are not only Kurds, there are Arabs, and Turkoman (ethnic Turks) and Assyrians. And the Turks are fighting with the TO, which includes the French, the Yankees, the Germans, the Armenians, the Italians, the Arabs, etc. and so on. So do not get hung up on the Kurds. Very, well, a very huge number of soldiers and officers of the Turkish army, these are Kurds!

      Well, but if on a state plane, Assad did not give any good either.

      As a child, I also read fairy tales - the arrangement of Firdousi - who owns the "valley". The answer was - killed.
      But even a wise fairy tale does not solve the boundary question.

      You can’t say: "Terrorists fail."
      And there is no division into "pure and not true."

    At the expense of the flag:
    Firstly, the Turks do not call their "ichtamnet" s and erect their banner after the battle where blood was shed - this is a tradition and all the armies of the world do it.
    Secondly, the Turks do not hoist a banner in any administrative center or administrative building.
    Thirdly, PKK-PYD moves everywhere under the “duty” banners, then they raise the Russian flag, then the American, then the Syrian.
