Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

[[TR]AHMET]

They are not it's a unit rotation. All of the Leopards in the area belong to the same armor brigade, M60 variants belong to other brigades. What I mean is, it is not a specific rotation to change Leopards but they took the chance to move some M60T Fırats to the region. As long as that brigade is in the area of operation the Leopards will be there too.

İ see, maybe they will wait until Aselsan upgrade package on Leopards.

Turkey, US have ‘come to terms’ to normalize bilateral relations: FM Çavuşoğlu
ANKARA

“We have come to terms to normalize our relations,” Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said on Feb. 16 following a meeting with his U.S. counterpart Rex Tillerson in the Turkish capital.

Çavuşoğlu said Turkey and the the U.S. have decided to "establish mechanisms" to tackle issues between the two countries.

Accordingly, the first meeting in line with this mechanism will be held in March, he added.

Meanwhile, Tillerson said the U.S. reaffirmed their deep and important relationship with Turkey.

The U.S. and Turkey share the same objectives in Syria, Tillerson said, referring to the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), forming secure and stable zones, and achieving an independent and unified Syria.

Tillerson said the U.S. recognized Turkey’s legitimate right to secure its borders, adding that weapons provided to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) would be limited, mission specific and provided on incremental basis to achieve military objectives only.

Tillerson also urged Turkey to release a pastor and other U.S. citizens currently jailed in Turkey.

Turkey 1 : USA 0
US lost the first round and they know it.

Good News? i don't think so, and there is no chance for a good Relationship between us like in the past!

We came to terms to not come to terms. This is my guess but I think it is accurate

This is nothing but an economic move from Turkey. Dollar is already going down. Meanwhile, the operations continue. US currently has no other choice but to win Turkey back. For that they have to listen and accept the conditions of Turkey.

We should all thank that YPG terrorist for further legitimizing our operation

I doubt the normalizing of the relationship is going anywhere. It'd require the US to recognize ypg as terrorists organization as PKK.

US-Turkey relations are beyond repair. I expect turkish-american clashes in the next months.
