Turkish forces have entered Syria to end Assad's rule

[mike2000 is back]

If by saying of few Individuals, a nation can be a joke, then of course, your logic to label Assad terrorist is a valid one. What can be expected out the thoughts which represent you?

The point is that in spite of West, US, Arabs and many other supporters trying to outst Assad, he is still there in his position since last 5 year. If you read latest wikileaks, It is the West which is hand in glove of creation of notorious terrorist outfits to fight against Assad.

Rather middle east will be much safer, Iran expand its influence beyond its traditional areas, and the peace can prevail.

LOOL is this a joke?
You really believe if we were really that keen to remove Assad he will still be in power? Lol. Why do you think our military present in Syria has never ever striked Assads forces(apart from the mistake we did recently which we recognised and we expressed our regrets for)?
We have been striking ISIS and helping Kurdish (who are indirectly allied with Assads forces) forces in Iraq and Syria. We voted in parliament against striking Assad forces in Syria(no fly zone) back then before Russia even got into this conflict, our military support to Syrian rebels have been quite limited side there are several sophisticated weapons we could have supplied them to topple the Regime that we never did. Our support has very mostly diplomatic and some training to be honest, we could have done far much more. our focus now seems to be mainly "ISIS".
So if we really wanted e could have toppled him long ago genius. His regime isn't half as strong as Saddam's was, or any different from Gaddafi. So your point that we tried every thing we could to topple him and failed is hilarious.
Theres a different game at play here dude.

Your point about Iran expanding and supporting proxy sectarian groups even more for a more peace and safety is even more laughable. Lol. Using your logic same can be said of KSA, Turkey etc lol
Every power in Syria is after their own interests, nothing more nothing less. Anybody who thinks otherwise is very naive. Lol

Hoax.. Turkey and Russia are ally to Assad these days. Turkey already gained some land for free. I dont know how much more they want.
Turkey not going to hand over whatever it gained in Syria, and they dont want to jeopardize it by attacking Russia.

 

[PeaceGen]

I am very confused.

Russia is pro Assad and Erdogan is anti Assad

Russia reportedly supported YPG in the war and Turkey is anti YPG and fighting them.

But...

Russia and Turkey ties are improving after the coup attempt.

To make it even more confusing...

NATO-USA is supporting YPG and NATO-Turkey is fighting them.

What am I missing here?

it's "advanced" divide-and-conquer.. keeping the enemy primarily defined as 'radical islam' / 'terrorists', and not getting the bigger countries involved in such areas into an actual war against eachother.
still sucks big-time for the people on the conflict ground though..

 

[Foxtrot-Bravo]

This could have been done much earlier but I hope Russia didn't interfere or we are going towards WW III.

A very misleading article.

His statement was meant for national audience,he does that every now and then.

Syria is a complex issue. Total mess. So many powers, foreign militias , regional powers, jihadists and sectarian groups involved.etc
It's a geo political war between wold powers, inside a civil war, inside a sectarian war.. All because of one man's greed for power.
Go figure out.

Why Turkey did not order their army for the same action against Israel. If they have pain for Syrians then why not for Phelistians? Turkey and other Arab countries create ISIS to dominate Iranian influence in the region. Now isis is facing defeate so These Devils r coming to help those Terrorist.

Why doesnt Iran do anything against Israel but helps Assad who have already killed more than 500,000 of his own people! You live in Saudi there are many Syrians here why dont you go and ask them yourself who do they support? You will get your answer. and ISIS actually helped that mongrel to stay in power so he is just interested in defeating FSA. Where is ISIS in Aleppo???Know your facts before spewing BS.

 

[MIR RAZA HUSSAIN]

Which content is sectarian in post? Iran is not a religion, but a country so I am talking about it's involvement in Middle East which is causing huge damage to Muslims. Don't forget that Iran helped to destroy Iraq in enmity of Sadam.

SO AS THE SAUDIYA AND THEY BOTH ARE FULLY INVOLVE IN UNREST OF MUSLIM WORLD THEIR PERSIAN AND ARABIC HATE IS STILL BURRING MANY COUNTRIES

Tayyip Erdogan has said that the Turkish Army has entered Syria to end the rule of President Bashar Assad, whom he accused of terrorism and causing the deaths of thousands.
“We entered [Syria] to end the rule of the tyrant al-Assad who terrorizes with state terror. [We didn’t enter] for any other reason,” the Turkish president said at the first Inter-Parliamentary Jerusalem Platform Symposium in Istanbul, as quoted by Hurriyet daily.

Erdogan said that Turkey has no territorial claims in Syria, but instead wants to hand over power to the Syrian population, adding that Ankara is seeking to restore “justice.”

“Why did we enter? We do not have an eye on Syrian soil. The issue is to provide lands to their real owners. That is to say we are there for the establishment of justice,” he said.

He went on to say that “in his estimation” almost 1 million people have died in the conflict in Syria, although no monitoring group has provided any similar figures. The latest UN estimate stands at 400,000 people killed in the five-year civil war.

Erdogan said that Turkey could not “endure” the unending killing of civilians and “had to enter Syria together with the Free Syrian Army.”

The Turkish leader also accused the UN of inability to influence the situation in Syria and said that the organization is ineffective in its current state.

“The world is bigger than five,” he said, referring to the number of permanent members on the UN Security Council, as reported by Hurriyet.

Turkish troops entered Syria on August 24, launching operation Euphrates Shield. Turkey deployed ground troops and air power to northern parts of its neighboring country, with the stated goal of retaking areas held by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).

However, many observers have said that Ankara aims to suppress Kurdish forces in Syria and prevent them from connecting three de facto autonomous Kurdish areas into one enclave south of the Turkish border.

In October, Turkey’s air forces killed between 160 and 200 fighters of the Kurdish YPG militia group in 26 airstrikes conducted in just one night. The Turkish military campaign in Syria has also led to increasingly strained relations with Assad’s government.

Ankara was forced to halt air support for its ground incursion into Syria on October 22, after Damascus vowed to shoot down Turkish Air Force planes in Syrian skies, accusing Turkey of violating its national sovereignty.

Turkey in turn accused the Syrian Army of attacking FSA fighters in the northern Aleppo province.

Tayyip Erdogan you were pretty safe within Turkey's border, this is not KILAFAT system. You are in trap now. Allah Bless Turkey.

The Turks are dead-right on this one.. Assad and his tribe started all the bloodshed in Syria, i will applaud the day, inshah Allah, that they are put against the wall and executed for their crimes against their militarily-defenseless own countrymen, women and *children*. Assad supporters, i can detail to a fair degree of accuracy the utter malicious ruthlessness by which Assad and his tribe tried to take total-control power over Syra, oppression-level control of the other Syrian tribes, over the past few years that were nothing but horror for just about everyone living in the Syria area..

TO THE NEXT MUSLIM LARGE-RULING-TRIBE LEADERSHIPS WHO WANT TO TRY THE ASSAD DOCTRINE IN WARFARE to re-gain control of a demonstrating "mob" of their own citizens... It is vastly cheaper to just share your countries' yearly budget with all of your tribes, and bring unity and order to a country based on that money being spent diversely by different tribes in that country in various ways, which i think leads to returns-on-investment (investment being government grants / loans-without-interest-added to tribes other than the ruling leadership tribe(s) of such a country.

Brother Tayyip Erdogan is in trap Allah Bless Turkey

How is it going to disturb it?

How Russia going to react on Turkey move?

How Russia going to react on Turkey move?

There is no move,we are already in Syria for other reasons.
Erdogan made this statement for the national public,he does that alot.

 

[MadDog]

Essentially finally confirms that turkey was supporting ISIS and other rebels for all these years.

Hope turkey suffers a long and painful defeat of cultivating the next tranche of jihadis.

Turkey had no other option, the aim of instability in the region is to create independent Kurdistan in Iraq and Syria and later on induce Kudish irridentism in Kurdish areas of Turkey to break it, Turkey made a right move to stop it from happening. Please don't get influenced by your sectarian background or sectarian hate narratives while analysing a situation.
This is only rhetoric from Erdogan, after defeating YPG in Syria, the war will naturally expand into autonomous Kurdish territory in Northern Iraq to counter threat from Peshmegra. IS targets are being bombed by Turk airfoce. This Turkish step is to counter the global design of redrawing middle east on ethnic lines. May Allah bless Turkey to defeat thd nefarious designs of western imperialists

 

[Ghazwa e Hind]

Erdogan is making some grave mistakes in a one man show. Turkey is a strong force. It should enter in different territories to hunt the khawarij of ISIS instead of fighting against the regimes.

Israeli covert operatives in shape of ISIS should be killed like mice everywhere in Middle East.

 

[A Analyst]

If I am not mistaken and you read carefully the source news, it is about opration Uf.sheild started on 24th August . Not about any new operation.

Allah help him
