Turkish Air Force strikes Iraqi Kandil

March 3 2020

Turkish Air Force Command Confirms Use of Combat aviation in Iraq. According to reports from the law enforcement agency, Turkish planes launched a missile and bomb attack on the Kandil mountain range, which is located in northwestern Iraq. In these territories, the predominantly Kurdish population of the country lives.

The materials of the Turkish media say that F-16 aircraft were used to strike. As a result of the strike, nine terrorists were neutralized. Recall that in Turkey, in this case, they call the representatives of the armed wing of the Kurdistan Workers' Party.

The Iraqi government condemned the Turkish strike on Iraqi territory, noting that the use of military aircraft to bomb an independent state without any approval from official Baghdad is a violation of international standards.

Recall that earlier in Ankara they announced the successful operation of Turkish special forces in northern Syria. It was announced that "the neutralization of 54 YPG terrorists." It is noteworthy that YPG is actually supported by the United States of America.

In the Turkish press, meanwhile, it is reported that today at 15:00 in Ankara there will be a meeting of the General Assembly of the Turkish parliaments. It will be dedicated to the situation in Idlib. At the closed part of the meeting, parliamentarians will hear reports by the Ministers of Defense and Foreign Affairs - Hulusi Akar and Mevlut Cavusoglu.

        Iraq cannot bring down someone else’s plane. Not yet. There is simply nothing.
        But it’s already good that it does not silently demolish, but expresses condemnation.
        Considering that the American base is now regularly fired there, there is hope for a revival of an independent state.

        The CIA agent, who is also the head of Turkish intelligence, Hakan Fidan is driving Erdogan into a corner, from where the latter will have only one way out: a war with Russia.
        Once Erdogan (through apology) jumped out of this way. Now Fidan has no right to make a mistake. The death of the Turkish military and its UNRECIDIBLE mass coverage excited the Turkish society, which requires Erdogan to war with Russia.
        The attacks on the Kurds in Iraq, on the one hand, seem to support Erdogan’s shaky rating, on the other hand, it aggravates relations with Iraq and intensifies intra-Turkish pressure on Erdogan.
        Problems with Iraq, with Libya, with Greece, with Syria. Erdogan is deliberately driven into a corridor where only war until victory in Idlib will be a solution, and this is an inevitable conflict with Russia, which is what the US needs. The more Erdogan says that he does not want a war with Russia, the more often he is given advice, which in the end will not leave him any choice. And the advice is given by Fidan.
        If this happens, then CIA agent Fidan has done his job.

    The most interesting thing is that many forum users are akin to raguls, they have one thing in mind, we dishonored us! Urgently bomb, answer and so on. And they don’t want to consider the options that we see only the tip of the iceberg! This applies to Turkey and the crown of the virus, and the sale of gold in England, and so on. Etc.

    Once, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was not opposed to episodic raids by Turkish troops to the north of his country.
    With the help of askers, he fought the hot Iraqi guys from Peshmerga.
    However, Saddam was hanged, Iraq turned into a battered American lap-dog, occasionally growling at his master ....
    And Turkish priorities are still alive.
    Why today?
    Yes, because it is not safe to fly over Idlib "Ef - sixteenth".
    Russia said so yesterday - it does not guarantee them security in the Syrian sky.
    And the picture of the fighter emitting flames starting from Turkish airfields is very necessary on TV.
    The war is going on! Infantry dies in violent attacks ...
    It is not good for flyers to smoke hookah when the fate of the Ottoman homeland is decided ...

    And how does it quarrel with Iraq?
    Let me remind you. Kurds. This is a problem not only in Turkey. This is the problem of Iraq, Iran and Syria.
    Therefore, as soon as an independent Kurdish state is formed even in one of the countries, neighboring Kurds will want to take communion for a moment. And all these countries run the risk of large territorial losses. For this reason, the Kurds in Iraq still Saddam drenched.

  Erdogan, with his militaristic policies, is increasingly losing support from outside Turkey and is gaining more and more enemies and opponents within the country. Even Turkish non-governmental organizations have switched to collecting signatures for the withdrawal of troops from its occupied territories.

  Turkey has 12 well-equipped military strongholds in northern Iraq, penetrating 45 km deep along the Iranian border, in the Kandil mountains. This is within the framework of the operation called "Lapa". This is the part of the mountain, where the armed detachments of Kurds were hiding for years, and from time to time they penetrated into Turkey by mountain paths. They, already about 2 years ago, were cut off all the ways. Therefore, the activity of the Kurds in the territories of Turkey approached zero.

    On the Iran-Turkey border, two years ago, Turkey erected a 144-kilometer concrete wall. At 15 checkpoints placed along the entire wall, bulletproof glass is installed
    
    Moreover, the border on both sides is densely mined. At one time, the CE even allocated them money to clear the border. But in the end, everything died out.
    Iran, by the way, regularly holds military exercises on the border with Turkey., And closely monitors the situation in Turkish territory. It was Iran on the night of October 8 that warned Syria about a possible Turkish invasion of Idlib and about the concentration of Turkish army units on the border with Syria

The Turks really want to be a key player and the main "decisive" of the Arab World. They climb everywhere and declare themselves very loudly. I think that Egypt, Saudis and Iran will definitely be against it. And a number of countries will simply want to declare themselves in Syria by supporting Assad, since he is not going to lose.

There is time to scatter stones, there is time to collect them. The fact that Erdogan will play out is beyond doubt. One gets the impression that he does not have military advisers. As there are no just advisers. It scattered him in all directions. Syria, Iraq, Iran, Cyprus - everywhere trying to spoil. Only here a war in so many directions always leads to defeat.

Turkish Air Force strikes Iraqi Kandil
Erdogan suffered, and apparently on the basis of nervousness, since began to realize into what trap he drove himself. And a rat cornered becomes more dangerous in twins. It is surprising that the Kurds (Turkish, Syrian, Iraqi), whom he hollows, cannot come to a common agreement and repulse the Turks in Syria and in the rear (Turkey). Positioning themselves as a freedom-loving people fighting for independence, everyone is sitting at the doorstep of their "home".

Eh, it would be great to bring Iraq to help, so that it would give a corridor from Iran through the Zagros to Syria. But, unfortunately, the Americans are in charge there, and they will stand there for a long time in the name of "Amerka Great Egen". And the Iraqi Sunnis will not allow it. We are waiting, maybe the Kurds will be ripe for cooperation with Russia, under Erdogan's kicks they are not sweet, American protectors are throwing. I believe that Kurdistan will still be, sooner or later, whoever feels good, but this is an objective process - we need to stake on it, so that later “enemies” will not go. Pull the Kurds out from under the Amers, and the whole equation will be solved at once.

And how does it quarrel with Iraq?
Let me remind you. Kurds. This is a problem not only in Turkey. This is the problem of Iraq, Iran and Syria.
Therefore, as soon as an independent Kurdish state is formed even in one of the countries, neighboring Kurds will want to take communion for a moment. And all these countries run the risk of large territorial losses. For this reason, the Kurds in Iraq still Saddam drenched.

Like it or not, and this is Iraqi territory with all the consequences.

I think Iraq will be freed from the annexation of the United States, unite with Iran and then it will be necessary to see where Turkey will be. So far I have to endure.

The Turk went into the distance, as much as the fez smokes.

If the Kurds of this "tangle" of four countries did not "squabble" among themselves, they could agree on joint actions ... against the undersultan. But alas and ah, each part of these Kurds thinks only about "their" struggle and dough.

The more Erdogan says that he does not want a war with Russia, the more often he is given advice, which in the end will not leave him any choice. And the advice is given by Fidan.
If this happens, then CIA agent Fidan has done his job.

and what is necessary to obey the advice of Fidan?
