            I think that the comrade was referring to the fact that "ukrosoyuznichki" do not care who they sell to, as long as they pay money. Simply the word allies had to be put in quotation marks.

        In Syria, a third batch of weapons has already been handed over to the Kurds.
        Turkey begins to resemble Ukraine. Do not find?
        Donetsk, Lugansk, the desire to live and speak their own concepts and language.
        And again, the establishment of a constitutional order. ATO.
        And off we go.

        Let's look at double standards in action.

Doesn’t it remind me of anything ?! Be that as it may, Ukrainians are Slavs, in Donbass too, there is one faith, the language is identical.

      And now ask the question again - why are our people being withdrawn from Syria? As many here have argued "hastily" and "a conclusion, similar to flight." It looks like Turkey will be on fire very soon. And it is desirable to be away at this moment. Especially such formidable, but fragile creatures as steel "birds".

      About the integrity of Turkey:
      Well, here we don’t really have much to rejoice .. The fact that the Islamist in their presidents is not adequate does not mean that we need a torn Turkey! As practice shows, on the fragments of the countries of the East, Islamists commit ISIS, Al Qaeda, etc. (under the patronage of the United States), and the Caucasus is nearby. The population of Turkey is approximately 77 million people (700) (of which Kurds in Turkey are approx. 000 mln. People) + refugees - think what kind of arabs can they be drawn into?

      And the Turks know how to make out - According to the census of 1844, 10 million people lived in the country, of which 5 million (50%) are Christians, including: 2,4 million (24%) Armenians, 2 million (20%) Greeks and 600 thousand (6%) Assyrians and other Christians.

    And not a single "human rights" swan, either in Europe or in the states, will notice this ...
    And all because he keeps Europe on the kukan, threatening to open migrant floodgates, as a result of which it will be flooded by a sea of ​​young, angry men demanding money and women. And so already Europe is actually paying tribute to the Turkish "new sultan" Erdogan ...

    The Kurds will wash themselves in blood. Erdogan will do with them what he wants to do, even though they gasp and no one will tell him anything. He still fucks the Kurds, he wants in Iraq, he wants in Syria, and everyone only provides "irrefutable evidence" and "express concern." And all the last zhu-zhu in Turkey remind 11.09, there the Americans did not spare two skyscrapers and a couple of thousand of their citizens, and the whole "civilized world" approved the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. And it's the same here. How many decades have the Kurds been fluttering? and besides the fact that every year they are being cleaned harder and harder, they have achieved nothing. And in the region, the Turks are no enemy, no matter what they say, but Turkey and Iraq together will roll out without frowning.
