Turkish Defense Minister takes command of military operation in Idlib on himself

112

The head of the Turkish Ministry of Defense, Hulusi Akar, after consulting with representatives of other NATO countries, announced that he would personally lead the Turkish military operation against the Syrian government forces in Idlib. Akar has already gone to the border province of Hatay, where he took command of the troops for the operation.

In Hatay province, the Turks concentrated impressive forces and assets, including long-range artillery, rocket launchers and MLRS. According to some sources, electronic warfare systems are also deployed there.



Meanwhile, pro-Turkish militants based in Serakib continue to regroup after air strikes against them. Statements by terrorists that they got "tons" appeared on the network weapons and the regime’s ammunition as trophies. ” The pictures show grenade launchers, “zinc” with cartridges, grenades, mines, etc.



Returning to the topic of the upcoming Turkish operation: the plans of the Turkish Ministry of Defense are to defeat the Syrian forces in Idlib and "restore" the so-called de-escalation zone, which partially extended to the neighboring provinces - Hama, Aleppo. In fact, it is about the Turkish army again clearing the way for the militants, who in the past few weeks have lost territories controlled over several years.

Earlier it became known that Washington supported Turkey in terms of its preparation for a military operation. According to Turkish media, the Turkish Armed Forces can begin active hostilities using existing forces and assets today.

    Well, if he is also inadvertently sent to the houris, it will be in Syria! The next cunning will already think whether it is worth sending troops to the slaughter for the sake of the ambitions of the undersultan! And for the third time, NATO politely showed Erdogad the road that would lead him to his "cherished goal" - a place in hell.

        We are facing the same problem. The mattresses in this story are the most cunning as always. And they got hold of a bunch of bases, and seized oil with the wrong hands, and they are now trading it through Iraq and Turkey with extrabudgetary income past Congress, for Trump's military and secret operations.

        Predict no, but what is to be expected is that Washington expressed support for Turkey.
        Earlier it became known that Washington supported Turkey in terms of its preparation for a military operation.
        The mattresses will not miss the moment to drive their wedge into the crack that has begun between Ankara and Moscow and realize what they did not succeed when they organized the provocation against the Russian plane with the hands of Turkish Prime Minister Davutoglu. A full-fledged war between Russia and Turkey, this is the best gift for the United States. Does Erdogan understand that mattresses once again line his path to the scaffold?

      How afraid they are. The whole reaction after the death of 32 and the injury of 33 soldiers is aimed not at "punishing" Syria, which, according to official Turkish sources, is behind the strike, but at creating a picture for domestic consumption. Turkey does not want to get into a full-fledged conflict.

        Turkey may not want to get anywhere, but Erdogan’s ambitions will force her to start a full-fledged conflict. The only chance to avoid this is the sudden change of power in Turkey. And that is not a fact.

        Are you really writing this right now? Turkey is a fairly independent player in the Middle East, and the situation in Syria and Libya once again confirms that Erdogan’s ambitions to create a new Ottoman Empire are in full swing. And the negotiations between Russia and Turkey, this proves that we are conducting a dialogue with an independent state which itself makes decisions and does not follow someone else’s instructions there.

          1. The presence of US bases on the territory of the state is already a confirmation of non-independence. Try to refute
          2. The clash of interests between Turkey and the United States will begin immediately after crossing the first of its southern borders. This is the question of neo-Ottomanism. Not that time and not that alignment of forces in the region.
          Hence the conclusion: the latent confrontation between the US and the Russian Federation continues

            Hence the conclusion: the latent confrontation between the US and the Russian Federation continues


            The confrontation between the United States and the Russian Federation is a slightly separate issue. As for Turkey itself, you remember the purchase of the S-400 from us and what reaction it provoked in the USA, they even wanted to impose sanctions (I do not know whether or not they didn’t monitor the situation there, but as a fact, it exists). It was a decision of an independent country, then recall the situation with Fethullah Gulen over which the United States and Erdogan quarreled + we can recall our other joint projects (South Stream, construction of a nuclear power plant) do you think the United States would approve? So Turkey, despite the presence of American bases and being in NATO, is an independent player with its own opinion, and listens only to itself, if it is beneficial, it cooperates with the United States and Russia on some issues. Now the situation (as I see it) is that Erdogan considers Idlib his territory and is not going to give it away, and Assad wants to restore the integrity of the country, the militants in that scheme are just a tool to control the territory. And the catch here lies not in the position of the USA and NATO (in the situation in Idlib), they certainly have their own interests in Syria, but in Erdogan’s ambitions. There is much more to remember here, and how Turkey armed the militants, trained (instructors from Turkey), engaged in the supply of weapons and everything necessary from the very beginning of the conflict, and it seems that it’s just not going to merge them, otherwise there would be no such aggravation and the Turkish army in the open would not have sided.

            Turkey is a member of NATO, and it is natural that in Syria when it has a conflict with the Syrians + us, it wants to enlist the support of the organization in order to put pressure on us. This does not negate its independence. And about Libya, what are NATO's interests there right now? They threw off Gadaffi, and they all forgot about this country, it disappeared from the media altogether and around, there is also no single position where some NATO countries support Haftar and others the Government of National Accord. And Turkey in Libya solely because of its ambitions and interests. The same story in Syria and Idlib.

At least he should understand that NATO will not enter into direct conflict with the Russian Federation, in the event of a sharp aggravation. But the actions of our side are more alarming, the news went through the news that ours stopped shelling of the SAR Armed Forces after militants after the death of the Turkish military, although they should not be there.

      Conduct a parallel between Idlib and Donbas. Swipe with a "cold" head. Remove propaganda terms about sponsors of terrorism and others.
      And then you will see that just as Russia supports Donbas, so Turkey supports Idlib. If we look further, then the victory of the Syrians in the war with Turkey may serve as a trigger for the start of the war of Ukraine against the Donbass.

      Who still has doubts that Turkey is not only a sponsor of terrorism, but also an active participant in it. Vacationers roaming around the resorts of the NATO bloc (Turkey), do you still bring your money to them, so that they would kill our allies and our instructors with your money?

      Boris, are you annealing again today? And then I'm already all in doubt. But what about the brilliant KhPP on the collapse of the NATO-Turkey alliance by building nuclear power plants, gas pipelines, selling the S-400, etc. What do you want to say that the most ingenious megastrateg of all times and peoples, all this time not only to the sponsors of terrorism, but also
      its active participant

And impunity breeds permissiveness. In the event that Turkey starts hostilities against the SAR, reputational costs are inevitable for Russia, or does someone think that we will intervene? By the way, this week the Ministry of Agriculture increased the import quota for Turkish tomatoes to 200 thousand tons. Hurray, go ahead.

    In the event of a direct clash with Turkey, the straits will be closed to us. In order to unlock them, one must strike at Turkey itself. And that means running into a conflict with all of NATO. The only question is, are the Russian Armed Forces ready for such a scenario?

    I think that no matter what happens in Syria, no one will strike on the territory of Turkey from the Russian Federation. Turkey does not bomb Russia. Everything will remain within the borders of Syria. There will be nothing outside, both presidents understand that otherwise it will lead to a global catastrophe and financial losses will seem like flowers.

    The Turkish military, who fell under the shelling of Russian aviation on February 27, were in militant units. This was announced on Friday, February 28, by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

    “According to the coordinates provided by the Turkish side to the Russian Center for Reconciliation, there were no and should not be any units of the Turkish armed forces in the area of ​​Behun,” the ministry said. In the area of ​​the settlement of Behun, where, according to official information, the Turkish military should have been, aircraft were not used.

    The ministry also emphasized that as soon as the Russian military received information about the injured representatives of the Turkish army, measures were taken to ensure that the Syrian side completely ceases fire. The wounded Turkish military were evacuated to their homeland.

    According to the Turkish defense minister, on Thursday he discussed with his Russian counterpart the opening of airspace for his attack drones, but no progress was made in these negotiations. It is known that attempts to use UAVs have already been undertaken. Syrian television on Tuesday published footage of the most powerful attack drone in Turkey - Anka-S, one and a half-ton that fell in Idlib. According to the press service of the Syrian Defense Ministry, the UAV was shot down by government air defense systems.

    The rate of accumulation of Turkish troops fell slightly, but another 400 commandos entered Syria on Thursday night. On social networks, photos also appeared of transferring Atilgan air defense systems equipped with Stinger short-range missiles to Idlib.

    The Sochi agreements did not at all imply the rejection, occupation of Idlib by Turkey ... these agreements gave Turkey a term, eliminate terrorists in any way possible, make Idlib ready for peaceful integration into Syria, through the elections ... the deadline has passed, and things are still there, with Idlib’s territories are regularly flown by drones to our base, Aleppo is constantly in attacks, the UN Security Council has recognized terrorists Jehab al Nusra as unarmed ... Snot with bubbles, apparently doesn’t scare either the Syrians, much less us ... it remains only to start fighting seriously or return to touch the letter of the Sochi accords and to wet the terrorists, otherwise the Turks will be wet ...

      the way these agreements are submitted to us is more like the surrender of Turkey (they owe us a lot of things, and we don’t have anything to them), which was not mentioned.

    Until the Turkish Air Force’s planes crossed the borders with Syria, until the block of Turkish posts was razed to the ground, while the presidents called each other, there was hope that they had some kind of plan to annihilate the crowds of barmalei interfering with Us and the Turks. No Russian-Turkish war we don’t need absolutely. We need moderately strong and loyal to us Syria. We are ready to help her diplomatically and with arms. We are fighting for the destruction of all the barmales in Syria and here we are allies with Assad completely. On the whole territory of Syria except the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Syrian Air Force nobody summer it can’t (drones do not count) - this is an agreement. We can’t directly engage in clashes with the Turkish army - this is also an agreement. So that the Turks dress the barmaley in their uniforms is either a trick or an insidious plan. If all the agreements will be respected by the Turks there is no chance of either winning Idlib or removing Assad or stopping Russia from destroying absolutely all the bandits in Idlib and subsequently organizing either the next rescue of Erdogan or his escape from his country closer to Yanukovych, depending on how the card falls. If Erdogan violates the agreement we and it’s also our right to violate, and besides, the Kurdish question is a trump card in our sleeve and not in Turkish. Russia's actions should not bear an emotional background but as a well-calculated cold calculation. We are fighting with the USA for the right to be an international gendarme and this is a completely different level military and political games.
