President of Turkey announced the establishment of full control over Afrin

130
Detachments of the opposition "Syrian Free Army" (PAS), with the support of the Turkish troops, entered the city of Afrin and took control of it, reports RIA News statement by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan.



Today at 8.30 (coincides with Moscow time), with the support of the Turkish Armed Forces, the FSA units entered Afrin. The city was completely under their control. Most of the terrorists fled. Our military and Syrian opposition, which they abandoned the booby traps, neutralize,
said Erdogan.

According to him, the flags of Turkey and the Syrian opposition are developing in the city.

Recall, the Ministry of Defense of Turkey launched a military operation "Olive Branch" in the canton of Afrin 20 January. The operation is directed against the formations of Syrian Kurds, who in Ankara are considered terrorist and linked to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) operating in Turkey.

In Damascus strongly condemned the actions of Ankara in Afrin, noting that this area is an integral part of Syria. Moscow, in connection with the situation in Afrin, called on all parties to show restraint and respect for the territorial integrity of the SAR.

      It was expected. The Athenian Kurds too dreamed about independence, having no physical ability to resist their neighbors, they didn’t agree with the American bases, they didn’t agree with the Russian Federation, they didn’t want to surrender everything to Assad, well, the Turks took advantage of the situation to their advantage ..... in general, the Kurds’s wrong ass licked .... although the whole taste and tried ...

        I agree with you in part.
        The Kurdish leaders in Afghanistan were bought by the Americans, and now they quietly moved with their families to Florida for permanent residence.
        And they wanted to spit on Kurdistan and all their brothers.
        The CIA did both Russia and Syria in this.
        And Turkey, yes, just took advantage of the situation.

      Of course, I would not apologize at all, and I want to say directly to you Sefevi: is the Turkish flag over foreign territory (and Afrin is not Turkish territory in any way) - is this too much? Yes, for sure, it's overkill. A vivid example when weak intellectual brakes destroys all the spectacular victory.
      I congratulate the Turks on raising the flag - this is a major miscalculation - Turkey makes itself an aggressor and an invader. It’s great stupidity to put so much effort, corpses, money, influence - and in the end you can’t resist and grease the whole effect of victory. Everyone will comment not on the effectiveness of the Turkish army and the ability of the Turkish state to carry out large-scale actions abroad - namely, raising the Turkish flag to foreign lands. Turkey is already hated by all Arabs, now the level of hatred will rise even higher.
      Sincere congratulations to Erdogan, finely acting, he is far from Bismarck level.

        The Turks consider this territory to be their territory since the time of the Ottoman Empire, on the fragments of which modern Syria arose. You can congratulate the Turks on their victory. But is it beneficial to Russia? I'm not at all sure! He wrote about this more than once that Putin too suddenly made the Turks friends. The more victories Turkey has, the more difficult it will be to negotiate with Erdogan.

I absolutely do not believe in the conflict between the USA and Turkey, there are tactical graters, but no further. The USA is solving the task of creating a controlled territory in Syria, but will this land be directly under control The United States or indirectly under the control (I emphasize) of the NATO ally (which at some points looks even more preferable) --- this is not critical, there is no gap between the United States and Turkey.

          Most likely, Garant and Erdogash have an agreement on the line of demarcation of the parties. The actions of the Turks are in the hands of the Americans, perhaps they will surrender the Kurdish territories of the right bank of the Euphrates to the natural border along the riverbed. The Americans still need the Turks in their plans for Russia.

              Could Kemal survive without the help of Lenin in the war for independence and in the Greek-Turkish war of 1919-1922?

              In August 1921 there was a moment when the Greeks came close to Ankara, and the fate of Turkey hung in the balance - Soviet help then played a decisive role. The Turks then long remembered this with gratitude.

                  For the same money, he pushed the hypothesis of the resettlement of Armenians from the Balkans, contradicting other scientists. .

                      At the University, our department, as I said, was closed "for Zionism." In the specialty “History of the Ancient East” they left one bet - and I lost it to Lipin, not knowing even then that he was an informer, and on his conscience the life of the sweet and kind Nika Yerskhovich. But it was impossible to live with the family for one Hermitage salary, even with what Nina earned, and I, on the advice of my brother Misha’s student, Lena Brstanitsky, agreed to write “The History of the Mead” for Azerbaijan. Everyone then looked for ancestors of poznatnss and more ancient, and Azerbaijanis hoped that the Medes were their ancient ancestors. The staff of the Institute of History of Azerbaijan was a good panopticon. Everything was in order with social origin and partisanship (or it was thought so); some could explain themselves in Persian, but mostly they were engaged in mutual eating. Characteristic: once, when in my honor a banquet was arranged in the apartment of the director of the institute (it seems that he was relocated from party work on the railway), I was amazed that in this society, which consisted of only members of the Communist Party, there were not a single woman . Even the mistress of the house came to us only at about four in the morning and drank a glass for our health, standing at the door of the room. Most employees of the institute had a rather indirect relation to science. Among the other guests, my friend Lenya Bretanitsky (who, incidentally, worked at another institute) stood out, one kind-hearted and wise old man who, according to rumors, was a red spy when the Musavatists had power in Azerbaijan, one hero of the Soviet Union, an Arabist, who later became famous for his strictly scientific publication of a historical medieval, either Arab, or Iranian-lingual historical source, from which, however, all references to Armenians were carefully removed; in addition, there were one or two very minor archaeologists; the remaining weight were party workers thrown into science. Refined oriental toasts continued until the morning.

                      Shortly before that, a series of anniversaries of the great poets of the peoples of the USSR began. Before the war, the anniversary of the Armenian epos David Sasunsky passed away (the date of which is actually unknown) - I grabbed the tail of this in 1939 during an expedition to the excavation of Karmir Blur. And now the anniversary of the great poet Nizami was being prepared in Azerbaijan. There was some slight awkwardness with Nizami: first, he was not an Azerbaijani, but a Persian (Iranian) poet, although he lived in the now Azerbaijani city of Ganja, which, like most of the local cities, had Iranian in the Middle Ages



                      731

                      population. In addition, according to the ritual, it was supposed to display a portrait of the poet in a prominent place, and in one of the central districts of Baku a whole building was allocated for a museum of paintings illustrating Nizami's poems. A particular difficulty was that the Koran strictly forbids all kinds of images of living beings, and neither a portrait nor an illustration of paintings in the days of Nizami existed in nature. A portrait of Nizami and paintings illustrating his poems (numbering a whole huge gallery) were to be made for the anniversary in three months.

                      The portrait was delivered to the house of the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan Bagirov, local Stalin. He called the leading medievalist from the Institute of History, pulled the canvas from the portrait and asked:

                      - Looks like?

                      “To whom? ...” the expert timidly mumbled. Bagirov blushed with anger.

                      - On the Nizami!

                      “You see,” the expert said, “they didn’t create portraits in the East in the Middle Ages ...

                      In short, the portrait took a leading place in the gallery. One can hardly imagine a larger collection of ugly daubs than were collected on the museum floor for the anniversary.

                      I could not prove to the Azerbaijanis that the Medes were their ancestors, because this is still not so. But he wrote The History of the Mussel — a large, thick, well-reasoned volume. Meanwhile, a law was passed in the country prohibiting part-time work, and I had to (without regret) drop both the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences and, alas, the Hermitage with its meager earnings.

      These are unreal Wishlist. A Turk from Afrin must be escorted to his homeland before they gouge the Kurds in Manbij. Otherwise, there will be little chance of pushing them out of Syria in general. Especially given the obvious transition of the Americans to a backup plan, the Kurds will merge and begin to support Turkey.

        Yes, you are right, the Kurds, as always, of course, were blown away. To do legs is in their blood, to stand to death like Russians are not trained, it is not in their culture.
        However, this way of survival, opposite to ours (to make legs), also has a right to exist, at least the Kurds still exist as a people.
        But still, the Spartans and Russians are prettier to me - the honor is still higher than death (although no one knows to the end how he will behave in business, is there enough spirit to be completely like Phillipov or Nurbagandov, so it’s better to put an end to this and don't talk in vain.)

    FALL OF AFRIN
    report from Colonel Kassad (COLONELCASSAD) - 18.03.2018


    In the morning, the Turkish army and controlled militants occupied most of Afrin. The Kurdish enclave in northwestern Syria is rapidly ceasing to exist.
    The city itself was busy without too much resistance. Only some skirmishes and shootings are reported. In areas occupied by Turks and militants, a mopping-up operation is being prepared.
    The main forces of the YPG left Afrin, although somewhat earlier YPG rulers called for the defense of the capital.
    A significant part of the population of the canton has already fled either to the territory of Assad, or through the territory of Assad to Rojava.
    The stubbornness in charge of the YPG led to quite predictable results. Now Kurdish areas in northern Iraq are next in turn, followed by Manbij.

    American flag games are not doing well.

        the position has long been voiced by both the Turks and ours and Iran by the Kurds, and at the moment there is not a single force capable of withstanding this trio) the Kurds have the opportunity to stand to the last and die like heroes .... but something tells me from experience that they usually choose something else) like their owners) "it’s better to get paid for torturing your grandfather than dying for your native land"

      Why so? Afrin was defended by more than 10 thousand Kurds from YPG. At the beginning of the operation, the Olive Branch Turks suffered considerable losses and grinded the combat-ready Athenian Kurds there. The Turks took Afrin quickly and cleanly, everyone thought that they would be transported before the beginning of May. Do not forget that the Americans were stuffed with Kurds with weapons, now it’s a trophy of the Turks.

    The surrender of Afrin is a tactical defeat of our General Staff bound hand and foot by the impossibility of fully deploying the group on the Syrian theater for political reasons. In this regard, after the Turkish army and basement detachments are consolidated on the Afghan border, we should expect pressure on Assad’s troops to carry out deep offensive operations not reaching 50 km to the strip of the Golan Heights. The strategic plan of the Turkish General Staff will be implemented in extended time due to the specifics of the semi-hybrid war in this theater. Point. Ramzai.

      Quite by chance, two events coincided on the same day - Turkey signed a permit for 2 pipelines in Turkey and the withdrawal of Russian specialists from Afrin.
      So the thing for these Kurds is the pipe in the direct and figurative

    Well, the Sultan has already bitten off his piece of Syria.
    Settled by Turkoman and other sponsored (those who extinguished Russian pilots).
    And then, five years later, during the national referendum, he will join Turkey.

    Syria, as a state within its former borders, will never exist. There is a redistribution of borders, who can grab how much. Kurds are not the force to be put on, and historically proven. To the Yankis, to the waist, to whom to distribute weapons, if there is a small probability that it will at least somehow burn out. The Yankees have no allies, there are only companions who can be discarded at any time. And for Russia, the Kurds have never been allies, and anyway, you should not get into a fight for anyone. Kurdish pride played a cruel joke. Perhaps the next time the PKK will be smarter, although if you recall world history, it is unlikely.

    .Russian army always fought you, so why should I respect you, but not my blood prekoff flows

    Read a bit of history with how many people Turkey fought and how many Russia, the population of Turkey is already 82 million!
    It’s good that not people like you are sitting in the Russian General Staff, they were about to open a vigorous war

    What did the Kurds think there? They sat there like a dog in the manger, and gave everything to the Turks practically without a fight, suspiciously, these Kurds are not Kurds. And ours did not intervene, which is also strange.
