Kurds in retaliation for Erdogan threatened to move the fighting in the Turkish cities
The Turkish army continues to deliver artillery strikes against the positions of the Syrian Kurd formations that liberate the north of Syria from the militants linked to Dzhebhat al-Nusra. At the same time, an obvious pattern can be traced: the more effective the actions of the Kurds and the Syrian government army, numerically reinforced by the representatives of the people's militia, the more actively Turkey tries to resist the SAR troops using artillery. On the eve of one of the leaders of the Kurdish movement in Syria, said that the main task at the moment is to take under the full control of the city of Azaz, which will finally cut off the militants from supplies weapons and reinforcements from Turkey.
Against this background, Turkey announced that the Russian aviation "Bombed a maternity hospital in Azaz." Turkey, taking the technology of the US State Department as a basis, of course, does not cite any evidence.
At the same time, the Turkish police and military continue a military operation against the Kurdish population in the south-east of the country. In Cizre and Diyarbakir, in just the last week, at least 20 civilians, including children, became victims of Erdogan’s aggression.
One of the leaders of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) Murat Karailan in an interview RIA News says that Turkish actions are forcing the Kurds to move the fighting to cities with a predominantly Turkish population over time.

Murat Karailan:
The Turkish state has moved to openly intimidate and oppress the Kurdish people. This is a declaration of war unilaterally, expressed in attacks on the Kurdish population. In the 21 century, Turkey conducts artillery shelling of cities, story which is several thousand years old, openly destroys the historical and cultural heritage of this region ... This is arbitrariness, a crime, cruel lawlessness, of which there are not too many examples on earth. At the moment we are discussing the issue of transferring military actions to cities (Turkey). Of course, for us the conduct of the urban war is a very risky step. The basis for the actions of the PKK has always been the countryside ... But the current conditions dictate the need for a change of tactics. As soon as the enemy attacks cease, and our people will gain freedom and independence, the need to use weapons will disappear.
