PKK propaganda relies on exaggerating Turkish army losses and showing dead civilian pictures to push domestic parties in Turkey and the international community to halt the operations.
Erdogan is a horrible president in my opinion but this operation is required to protect Syria, Turkey and Iraq...
Wars are not as simple as you think , the US leveled Raqqa but took it after 1 year of fighting .
US Army took them over 2 years to take over small town fallujah in Iraq back during US occupation in Iraq .
These were flat regions nothing compared to Afrin Mountainous regions covered with forests .
This operation will be tough and take a long time . Fas and tsk liberation 10 villages in 2 days . Afrin canton contains 367 villages and towns .
Tsk and fsa will need a least 6-8 weeks to take over all villages and towns before starting Afrin city battle which would on its own take a few...
USA supports PKK
Correct they did include manbij in the message . I think they are tricking pkk to force them to stop sending reinforcement to afrin from eastern Syria.
Reports Indicate between 6-9 villages liberated by FSA & TSK
Guys except heavy casualties in this operation , the USA armed PKK to the teeth with Anti-tank missiles .
I am against Erdo policy in supporting Islamists but I hope Turkish troops wipe out PKK in Afrin.
The Islamists and PKK are 2 tools the USA have been using in destroying Arab countries and spreading instability.
The USA created hatred between the people of this region.
1) Egyptians Vs Turks
2) Arabs Vs Arabs
3) Sunni Vs Shia
4) Iranians Vs Arabs
5) Turkey Vs Arabs
6) Kurds Vs everyone
I think its time for countries in this region to develop ties with China and Russia , the USA has brought...
Your country is the main reason behind all the problems we are facing in this region.
Erdogan and other Arabs biggest mistake was trusting USA and supporting regime change plan in Syria which was mostly about destroying Syria and creating a Kurdish state loyal to the west.
The USA sold Turkey...
Erdo certainly has his own share in Supporting terrorism but the SDF/PYD is a group that threatens the territorial integrity of Arab countries like Syria and Iraq .
The SDF is the American tool to bully and intimidate Arab governments and the less territory they hold the better of the region ...
Finally Erdogan is back to his senses and sold MB/ALnusra in Idlib in return for taking over Afrin .
I hope Erdo understands that his support for the MB will not bring him any strategic advantage .
Hopefully Erdo will cease support for MB Affiliates in the Arab world .
I know assad is an asshole but he remains much better than the mb or any Turkish backed regime . Turkey just like Iran hates Saudi Arabia with passion if not even more .
Saudi Arabia should stay out of Syria and the best thing is to see Syria partitioned among superpowers like Russia and USA...
Turkey still has a chance , they have to completely halt support for terrorist organizations like MB and stop supporting rebels in Idlib in return for Russia allowing them to take out Afrin .
If Erdo proceeds with his current policies then, unfortunately, Turkey will pay a heavy price .
