Do I really have to explain to you why I used this example? Because it is true maybe? I don't care what Turks are doing in EU. I care what people are doing in Turkey and what the Syrians are doing is nothing positive and I bring it as argument. If you like high crime rates, Syrians that are going past the norms in the society, Arabic signs and talk all around then I will write to Erdogan and suggest it to him. Just give me your city so I know where to give them "refuge".Refugees come with increase rates of crime. Its like us Turks have become like the far right who blame refugees and immigrants for everything. The Europeans say the same about us Turks and how we increase crime rates why are we using this argument here??
There are couple of mistakes that Turkey done while taking part of this game.In the early days AKP sent arms and organized the opposition groups when all of this was at its infancy, when the SAA controlled nearly entire Syria even far eastern Syria which later on fell to ISIS and now to Kurds. Assad like Saddam are both brutal and would burn the entire country before leaving, that was known to everyone before this started. Turkey chose to be a major contributer and organized of this entire war in Syria, are you going to deny that if Turkey had kept its borders closhed and had not interfered the Syrian war if it had even became a war would've been extremey limited and lasted less than one year?
Without the funding and arms that poured in from Turkey and Jordan the SAA would've remained in control. You wouldn't have millions of refugees, the hundreds of thousands would not have died. ISIS would not have experienced its immense growth, Kurds wouldn't control half of northern Syria today. Jordan which is poor as hell decided to jump in as well though they're just an American client state so nothing else to be expected from them.
You're making the mistake that Arabs are all the same, we can distinguish other Arabs easily and they don't integrate well. Syria and Lebanon have had bad relations in the past decades and this is not even the point. Point is that Lebanon is a very small country hosting 2 million Syrians whilst Turkey is far bigger hosting 3 million.
However let me say that I do understand your view here, as I saw local Turks in Istanbul working hard even at midnight (the municipality workers) cleaning streets etc. whilst Syrians were just looking for the quick buick and best economic opportunity be it domestic or abroad in Wester Europe. No one, especially no nationalist will want these kind of people exploiting their own homeland.
I don't know the Kurds of Turkey well, all I can say is those of Iraq are jumping about Kakastan day and night, that Hakkari suggestion was a joke.
Now as for the last sentence, this is what Americans bark. An 'inclusive non-sectarian government'. This translated into accept your opposition to sabotage all development, for Turkey that means embrace the HDP. Now I do not know if you actually embrace the HDP but everyone knows they're with the PKK.
I don't like Assad and i'm aware of what he and his father have done. Assad not only provided safe ground for the PKK in the 90's, he also facilitated the operations of Al Qaeda in Iraq, ISI and other terror networks that now have become IS back in the early days of 2003-2010. Several Syrian intel officers were captured saying this, back in 2009 Erdogan even suggested mediating between Iraq and Syria over this.
I'm teling you that Assad is a monkey, and that Turkey approached this like shit by organizing useless groups, a policy which led to a massive growth of IS under Turkish watch. It used to be an American led effort which Turkey was part of, they abandoned that side for the Kurds once the FSA started losing land to ISIS in the east.
Even if this didn't become a mess and Assad was overthrown, Turkey would not have taken the lead in Syria it would have been the US. What they did in Iraq they would replicate in Syria and it would be a corrupt shithole, a corrupt shithole without money that is even worse. Turkey was better off rejecting American games on their neighbors doorstep in the first place like they rejected it with Iraq in 2003. This is the kind of shit little client states of America like Kuwait and Jordan pull, client states that should be annexed by larger Arab states.
1st: Turkey agreed to participate in the train-arm program together with the US under UNACCEPTABLE conditions and trusting the word of a country that is working for a independent Kurdish state/states from the 90s.
2nd: Turkey didn't intervene directly in the Syrian conflict and didn't established herself in more deeper and stable way when it was possible.
3rd: Turkey let Kurdish reinforcements to Ain Al Arab instead taking Kurdish refugees and intervene directly under certain conditions on behalf PYD while at the same time start large scale offensive together with them to clear the area around Ain Al Arab and secure and retake the area around Suleyman Sah tomb. If YPG doesn't cooperate launch military intervention against them stating self defense and if there is not a reason then create the needed deception by false flag attacks on the hot zones and along the border.
4th: Didn't participated more actively in establishing of higher number of proxy brigades trained directly by Turkey waiting for Turkish orders.
All those are due to corrupt people into the government system and the security services. People that sold themselves to the higher bidder and working directly or non directly with foreign intelligence services. After 15th July some of those people recognized their faults apologizing to the nation, crying and saying "We were deceived." Because of them and the ones that were neutralized Turkey and Syria are at this state. Letting the Syrian conflict happen was not a fault. The fault was that we didn't intervene in the way we should've intervene like a strong country that is not lacking the resource to do it properly.
