Erdogan announced a major military operation by the Turkish army in Syria and Iraq

Turkey is preparing for a new military operation in Iraq and Syria, the Kurds will come under attack. Preliminarily, it should end in the summer, judging by Erdogan’s statement to the military. The Turkish press reports this.

Last Tuesday, March 18, the Turkish leader gave a speech to the personnel of the 4th Corps of the country's Armed Forces, in which he announced a new major military operation in neighboring Syria and Iraq. As in previous times, military operations will be carried out against the Kurds, who are supported by the United States. Ankara plans to create a “security zone” along its borders, pushing Kurdish units back at least 30 km.

We will not allow the creation of a terrorist state on our southern borders, no matter who is behind it. We will fully secure our Iraqi border this summer, and we will be sure to complete our unfinished business in Syria

- said Erdogan.

The seriousness of the Turks’ intentions is evidenced by the active preparations for the operation that have already begun. The army command is conducting inspections of personnel; Defense Minister Yashar Güler has already visited the border areas and talked with units of the Special Operations Forces of the Turkish Armed Forces. Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces Selcuk Bayraktaroglu visited the forward positions of Turkish troops near the Iraqi border.

Meanwhile, information has emerged that the Kurds have begun to withdraw their troops from the line of contact to the rear and mountainous areas of the province of Dahuk. Apparently, they are also preparing for a Turkish military operation.

"Combat operations will be carried out against the US-backed Kurds"-

[Romario_Argo]

It is high time,
It’s time for the Kurds to make up their minds and join Syria as an autonomy
а penguins GO HOME

Taking an example from Erdogan’s peacekeeping ideas for Ukraine, we need to get involved in this matter with peace initiatives, offer some of our cities (for example, Sevastopol) as a negotiating platform between the Turks and Kurds. I think Erdogan should appreciate this.

[alystan]

He will definitely appreciate it and appreciate it.
The other day, Turkey once again announced, just by chance it coincided with the elections (yup), that it would never recognize Crimea as Russian.

The US supports the Kurds of Syria not only because of oil (because they could pump out oil under Turkish control), the reason is Israel, which insists that the Kurds be under US protection, because the Jews want to use the Kurds against Turkey and Iran. The USA is, in fact, a puppet of the Jews.

(...We will not allow the creation of a terrorist state on our southern borders, no matter who is behind it. We will fully secure our Iraqi border this summer, and we will definitely complete our unfinished business in Syria...) well, What is the difference from SVO? Conditionally replace Syria with Ukraine, and the southern border with the western. Ahh!!! Clearly, this is different!

[rocket757]

The Kurds made the wrong bet... how will their striped friends help them now?
Although the Sultan there can be quite a burden...
In general, it’s still a mess...

[Fatalist]

Yes, let them make minced meat out of each other.)

[antivirus]

He needs to go to Plovdiv.
The Muslim brothers are waiting there.
Macron will remain silent. Bulgarians do not buy weapons from France

[single-n]

Has the Sultan decided to squeeze out oil? It’s even interesting how the USA will behave.

They seem to have supported the Kurds a year ago. Now, probably, as always, they abandoned

[single-n]

Let's see. They can also support him so that he can punch the Sultan on the nose... After all, Erdogan also needs a “small victorious war”. and if it gets stuck, then wide opportunities for manipulation open up.

Erdogan congratulated Putin on his victory in the elections, and apparently agreed on something in between

[andrey martov]

Previously, they announced some visiting artist, like - Honorable public, hurry to see, one concert passing from Paris to New York. . .now they are announcing the beginning of hostilities - Dear public, hurry to see our bomb and missile attacks on radishes and new fruit carriers. . .

[Turkey]

Northern Iraq is a mountainous area, these fighters feel at home there, they have built a network of tunnels, it is difficult to detect them in the mountains. Therefore, Erdogan said everything correctly, it is necessary to clear the North of Iraq, especially since the Iraqi government supported Turkey and stated that it was ready to participate in this operation itself.

Perdogan has gone completely crazy - it’s time to put him in his place

[cpls22]

Just recently there was an article that said:

Attention was also focused on the fact that “previously, Kurdish officials expressed concern about the daily shipment of 85 barrels of oil to Baghdad without receiving appropriate payments. As if Iraqi Kurdistan is a sovereign state...
It was noted in this regard that the KR authorities “most recently sent a letter to US President Joe Biden, warning that the very structural and economic integrity of Kurdistan without the mentioned payments is under threat.”

It appears that Türkiye and Iraq have decided to do without third party controlled intermediaries.

[APAHAKC]

quietly announced and the ladies all quietly
Russia reported about its noise to noise and then it was like nothing happened

[Oleg Apushkin]

Two-faced Ottoman, soon the corvettes of Hell will be handed over to the outskirts.

[Prisoner]

There was information on the Internet that the Pindos had sharpened their skis from Syria. Apparently they are completely draining the Kurds.

[Aleksandr58]

And he doesn’t give a damn about interfering in other people’s territories?! It's high time for him to show off his mursals! The heads of those of our leaders who saved him from the military coup, the freak, should be kicked off!
