Turkish Air Force strikes Iraqi Kandil

69

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.

            Maybe Erdogan is furious, because he did not have long to preside?
            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.

        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 ...

        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.

        BIABIA (BIABIA):It remains for the sultan to hit Iran, and, I think, the red line will be crossed. Persians will not express concern ...

        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

    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).

    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.
