Chinese press: Despite pressure from Russia and the United States, Turkey will not abandon its plans to conduct a special operation in Syria

According to the Chinese newspaper Global Times, despite the diplomatic pressure from Russia and the United States on Turkey so that the latter abandons its plans to conduct a special operation in Syria against Kurdish militants, Ankara is ready to take this step at any moment.

This region is located in close proximity to the Turkish border, while it is located thousands of kilometers from America and Russia

- emphasized the military expert Ezgur Eksi.

Earlier, Turkish National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar called on the US leadership to treat with understanding a possible military operation by his country in northern Syria, after Washington strongly protested Ankara's plans to prepare for hostilities against the Syrian Kurds.

Recall that Turkey recognized the activities of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) as extremist in its territory. All this began back in the 1980s of the last century, when, after numerous truces concluded between the parties, their violations were revealed. In 2015, the PKK refused to enter into any peace negotiations at all. The conflict only intensified after the start of the war in Syria in 2011, which is why there are systematic clashes between Kurds and Turks on Syrian territory.

It should be noted that Ankara has already carried out its first military operation against the Kurdish formations called "Claw-sword" at the end of last month. The implementation of its plans includes the creation of a 30-kilometer security zone along the entire border. In fact, we are talking about the occupation by Turkish troops of the impressive territory of the Syrian Arab Republic.

And the Russian Federation is definitely somehow putting pressure on Turkey in this matter? Oh yes, this pressure is to build a nuclear power plant for your own money, open a gas hub, etc. etc., that's because the memory is full of holes.

I understand that this is the first reaction to 777? But what if the Kurds of these three axes of which Turk will counterfeit? In short, Sweden and Finland will not see NATO membership ... A trifle, but nice

Erdogan is truly a star

The Turks will not hesitate to make a fuss about Chinese Xinjiang and anger us Chinese.

They also don't care about NATO and escalating the situation.

At the same time, irritating Russia and forcing Putin to treat him warmer.

The Turks waited and caught the moment when you can fish in troubled waters. This is what they use. What can I say, guys. You never have to stand on ceremony, with anyone.

Russian pressure ... sorry, but this "pressure" consists in constantly currying favor with respected partner Erdogan and fulfilling his wishes ... indeed, and why, as a result of such "pressure", Erdogan is becoming more and more impudent ...

But we will build the declared gas hub in Turkey, so it will generally put everything and everyone, including Russia. And spoiling relations today is not in our favor and creating conditions (helping) to strengthen the Turkish economy and political weight can also turn against us in the future. So think what's better.
