Turkey announced plans to establish military bases in northern Syria

Turkey intends, together with the United States, to create permanent military bases located in the security zone in northeastern Syria, from the territory of which constant patrolling will be carried out. This was stated by Minister of Defense Hulusi Akar.

Turkey announced plans to establish military bases in northern Syria




According to the head of the Turkish defense department, military bases will allow for constant patrolling of the security zone, and their number will be determined "as necessary, depending on the situation." At the same time, Ankara hopes that the United States will join them, but do not exclude that they will do it on their own if the Americans drag out negotiations.

We will build bases for patrolling east of the Euphrates. If we do this and the terrorists leave, it will be a great victory. Will we stop after that? No. Our goal is to create a zone of 30-40 kilometers wide throughout the border to ensure the security of our country. And then send to the homeland of the Syrian citizens who are with us. These will be common bases with the USA, we want them to be permanent

- the minister said.

In the United States, they did not comment on plans to create joint military bases, but earlier there was information about sending an additional American contingent to Syria to organize joint patrols with the Turks.

Earlier it was reported that Turkey and the United States are negotiating the creation of a “security zone” in northern Syria, where Syrian refugees from Turkey can return and become a “buffer zone” in front of the Turkish border. In turn, US officials said that this "security zone" would help prevent the "revival of the Islamic State" (a terrorist organization banned in Russia).

In turn, Russian President Vladimir Putin, following the Russia-Turkey-Iran tripartite summit on September 16, said that after resolving the situation in Syria, the country's integrity should be restored and all foreign troops would be withdrawn from there.

    Who will allow them? The United States has taken this zone under its own responsibility and is not going to leave. And the Kurds will not allow their allies to spread rot. The knot is getting tighter tightened.

        To declare that, but in fact, the bases of the United States and Turkey are already on the territory of Syria, these statements, "curtsey" towards the United States, such as agree and I will return to the mattress, but the United States has slightly different plans from the Turks for Syria.

          Actually, there is one aspect that should not be overlooked either. Namely.

          Until 2012, Erdogan had a family business selling oil, which he was supplied from Syria cheaply by ISIS fighters.
          I do not believe that Erdogan abandoned his oil business in Syrian and Iraqi oil.
          Most likely, under the flag of the Turkish Armed Forces, Erdogan also pursues his personal business goals for his own enrichment. Namely, he seeks to legalize for himself personally in the new conditions the oil fields in the SAR and Iraq for the production of Syrian and Iraqi oil, to take them under full control. In fact, we are talking about international oil production racket in the SAR and Iraq.
          Well, and with the United States, he just has to share in this regard for spheres of influence on BV.

                  Yes, all of this in the past we have already analyzed in detail on "VO", from whom Erdogan bought Syrian and Iraqi oil for $ 10 per barrel.
                  I also bought from Iraqi Kurds, whose militants, by the way, did not behave much better than ISIS militants, expanding the potential territories of their future Kurdistan at the expense of their neighbors - again under the auspices of the United States.

                    You are probably talking about the Russian citizen George Hasvani who bought 10 and sold Assad for XNUMX igil? Or was this not discussed?
                    Or about the Russian military police, which together with these Kurds patrolled?

                      And we also discussed this! You understand that since 2012 a lot of water has flowed and the situation in the warhead has not stood in any way and is not standing in one place. Kurds are not homogeneous either, and their political intentions under US patronage are also changing.

          Reverence towards the USA? I don’t know. This is how the Turks rate the blow to Saudi Arabia.
          The new economic cold war, launched by the United States using sanctions and currency manipulation, not only against Venezuela, Iran, Russia and China, but also such allies as Turkey, Germany and France, in connection with the crises in Kashmir, Hong Kong and the Strait of Hormuz, evolved in side of the hot phase. From this point of view, the September 14 attack is a historic blow inflicted by a bloc of countries in China, Russia, Iran, Turkey and the EU on the Saudi Arabia-Israel-UAE front, led by the United States.

      This is what the Turks write about it.
      there are promises they made to these organizations. The first of these is the creation of a Kurdish autonomous region in Syria and Iran, similar to Iraq. Of course, we must not forget that the Zionists are involved in this plan, who see it as the first step towards achieving their dream of Greater Israel. In addition, the creation of a Kurdish region in our region is also necessary for the security of Israel. In a word, the United States plays openly for the implementation of this Zionist plan and does not even consider it necessary to conceal these intentions. To do this, they provide assistance to terrorist organizations, use certain contradictions in order to support Islamic countries in a state of constant conflict.

      Under these conditions, in order to end conflicts primarily in Syria, Iraq and other countries in our region, the main terrorist, the United States, must first be removed from it. Holding meetings, and after them, making statements in the spirit of “The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) will leave Syria”, it is impossible to obtain the desired result.

      The United States is constantly trying to diversify terrorist organizations in our region, giving them different names, and when one of them becomes an open target, the United States is trying to keep on the battlefield essentially the same organization under a different name. We can say that the main source of problems in our region is the USA, and then Israel. Therefore, removing the USA from our region, peace can reign in it.

        NATO allies will agree among themselves, they have common interests. Turkey has already grabbed a piece of Syria fifty years ago. And he is not going to stop - first "observation posts", then bases. Erdogan dreams of the laurels of "Suleiman the Magnificent". Assad is alive thanks to Russia. If her assistance is reduced, the fate of Gaddafi awaits him.

      hi
      Turks are now between the press and the anvil (Russia, the States). All the same, it is a member of NATO. They press on her, and they voice the wish of the mattresses. GDP made one very interesting move, warned Erdogan about the impending coup. Now, according to their written laws, Erdogan owes him his life and cannot refuse a mattress. And what they say is a test of our reaction to such statements and an attempt to mattress destabilize Russia-Turkey relations. Trying to go with trump cards. Well, what will our Foreign Ministry answer? We will wait for the reaction.

    It seems to me that under the pretext of fighting the Kurds, the Turks corny want to squeeze a piece of Syria. After all, Erdogan dreams of reviving the former power of the Ottoman Empire. And here is such a convenient moment. Plus free natural resources. And he will agree with the amers. The raven will not peck out the crow.

    The fact that the Turks would not "merge" their kindred Idlib was still clear when they began OPEN to introduce troops into Syria. Well, and a big "hello" to those who naively believe in the "Astana format" and "NATO separatism" of Erdogan. The United States simply won't allow it. To finish off the Turkish economy, the staff just need to introduce a semblance of sanctions and the lira will win back.

    Who doubted that together with the United States. Although one's shirt is closer to the body, it is better to carry out the occupation under the cover of the Americans. The East is not a delicate matter, but even rather thick, especially when it is in the "allies" of the United States.

    The Syrians need to create unbearable conditions for all uninvited guests by means of petty sabotage such as guerrilla actions. He made an injection and quickly back, under the protection of joint strong points with us. So that the earth burns underfoot, and if the Turks jerk or striped with surrender, put all the video materials into the world’s network and pull up the UN. It is necessary for the invaders to beat them with the same method.

    Turkey has long been planning to go to the east of the Euphrates, but they didn’t enter as they were not sure of the opinion of the Russian Federation and Iran on this score. The Russian Federation and Iran (according to Turkish analysts) gave the green light to the operation in the east of the Euphrates. Moreover, these same days Assad sent a letter to the UN calling the United States the occupiers and the Kurdish organizations YPG and RPK, which cooperate with them in the north-east of Syria, as terrorist groups (the first time he called them that) that threaten the territorial integrity of the country. That is, the good from the Russian Federation and Iran, and Assad’s letter reinforces Ankara’s hand to squeeze out Kurds of militants from Syria, and in turn this will lead to the US withdrawal, as they put on these Kurds and hold on to Syria just for them.
