Turkish and American armies begin exercises in northern Syria

The command of the Turkish and American military contingent in Syria entered into additional agreements. Against the background of a general aggravation of relations between Ankara and Washington, the military of the United States and Turkey are trying to make it clear that their partnership with NATO remains strong.

What are the new agreements are?

It is known that Turkish and American military personnel will not only continue to engage in joint patrols of the Syrian city of Manbij and its environs, but will also begin joint combat training exercises (exercises) in the framework of the so-called roadmap of cooperation. This is reported by the Turkish Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar.

According to him, the cooperation has already led to the fact that the Syrian Manbij area has so far left the representatives of the Kurdish armed groups PKK - YPG (in Turkey these units are considered terrorist).

At the same time, the Turkish Defense Ministry recalled that it was with the active support of the YPG by the US that the Manbij and Afrin districts in the 2016 year came under the control of Kurdish armed groups. Thus, Ankara made it clear to Washington that its current assistance in withdrawing the Kurdish detachments from the PKK - YPG from the Turkish borders is a kind of “favor”.

In what format the mentioned joint combat training exercises of the Turkish and US military personnel in Manbidj will not be reported. There is no information about the ultimate goal of the contingents of both countries in the north of Syria.

Here their interests coincide, both sides dream of dividing Syria into zones of their influence, and since the Americans themselves do not like to die for "freedom", the Turks will do.

Turkish and American armies begin exercises in northern Syria

Two hunters went to the forest to catch a bear, and only one returned. To the question: "where is the second one?" answered - "the bear lifted." ... And you can't check - either the bear really lifted up, or the first shot the second ...

bear lifted up

Especially for the Yankees this expression is relevant ... Where "pulled up" - got it, tired ... So they try to stay with the help of the Turks as well.

Hi Sasha !
Everyone understands the example I give as they see fit.

Well, all those who disagree with this "exceptional", and especially the Russians! And this is unchanged.

But what a successful photo for the article!

And the US will not offend the Turkish army. How many times have they made coups in Turkey, and each time relying on the army. So no one will "pull" the army Turks, but on the contrary they will say "the exercises showed that the Turkish army is in excellent, excellent shape" (the fur is shiny and shiny).

And not only their interests in Syria coincide. Their interests in Russia are also identical.
Yes, you’re right about the use of the Turks by the Americans, but it suits both parties, some grow on the ground, and put other subsoil under control.

.... Who would doubt ... And all these disagreements in the economic sphere ... "Uncle Donald" decided to cut the content of "nephews" ...

I decided to cut back, but not only the Turks, but also various others. Tries to bend everyone.

It seems that the Americans are once again "throwing" the Kurds. And the Kurds, every time, stupidly fall for American promises.

The Kurds are such, they are steadily being led (for years 300) on the promise of all about the granting of autonomy or state. But normal states - from the USA to Russia - have been using this ... for years, 300 ... Stability is a sign of excellence!

In what format the mentioned joint military training exercises of the military personnel of Turkey and the USA will be held in Manbij is not reported. Nor is it reported what the ultimate goal is being pursued by the contingents of both countries in northern Syria.

Nothing is reported. Nothing. Maybe they just get together.? For a view. Well, they will call where they need to, they will take pictures, - like "oh, look, we are some fucking friends!"

In the photo, to the right of the American Turks or something on his hind legs?
Illustrative photo.

No, dog. Although the beggar is also probably noble!

no. Since there is no American in the photo, there is a Turkish soldier (for a start, they would learn how to determine the forms of countries) and a dog.

their partnership within NATO remains strong.

Probably before attempting another coup in Turkey. But then Erdogan may not get off as well as the first time.

what is the ultimate goal of the contingents of both countries in northern Syria.

And there is no need to report this. The goal of both sides is well known and each has its own.

[ANCIENT]

In short, as Erdogad was with low social responsibility in the political sense, he remained!

[Anchonsha]

What can I say - the east is a delicate matter, especially among the Turks

[igorbrsv]

In this case, this is the deflection of the United States. The borders of Kurdistan had to be shifted.

In this case, it is the US trough. The borders of Kurdistan had to shift

What does it mean to move some boundaries of some non-existent state? while the "partner" accidentally, well, the stars of economic laws converged, the national currency fell by 50% in six months?

[Sands Careers General]

I wonder when all non-governmental organizations will be kicked out?

Thanks for the joke.
