Turkish artillery striked 30-40 vehicle terror convoy in Afrin

[cabatli_53]

The Turkish Armed Forces bombed a convoy of 30-40 vehicles belonging to the PKK/KCK/PYD-YPG and Daesh terrorist groups Thursday during Operation Olive Branch in Syria’s northwestern town of Afrin.

In a statement, the Turkish General Staff said the convoy was intercepted about 15 kilometers southeast of Afrin.

It was carrying ammunition and weapons to the terrorists, the statement said.

“Only the convoy belonging to PKK/KCK/PYD-YPG and Daesh terrorist groups was targeted during the operation, and utmost importance was given to not harm any civilians,” it added.

A video showing the Turkish army striking the terrorist convoy was posted on YouTube in which heavy smoke can be seen after the targets were hit.

On Jan. 20, Turkey launched Operation Olive Branch to clear YPG/PKK-Daesh terrorists from Afrin.

According to the Turkish General Staff, the operation aims to establish security and stability along Turkey’s borders and the region as well as protect Syrians from oppression and cruelty of terrorists.

Turks are paranoid about Kurds. Always think Kurds are trying to take their land away when they don't give Kurds official language status. White people created this problem when they put Kurds into Turkey when they created Turkey after dissolving Ottoman empire after WW1.

It is the first time Turkish Land Forces striked dynamic targets with new developed pinpoint artillery missiles.

Kurds have always been in Turkey. Most subjects in the Ottoman Empire were pretty content until the introduction of ethno-nationalism in the region.

One of the founding fathers of the Turkish nationalism - the Young Turks movement - Ziya Gokalp was a Kurdish folk...

Pak needs to do such strikes deep inside Afganistan to deter TTP, BLA etc...

If you had terrorists firing rockets at your cities from across your border you would be way more paranoid.

I have a quick question I thought PKK/KCK/PYD-YPG and Daesh were fighting off each other in Syria.
Why does Turkey have to bomb them Kurds?
