The war against the people of northern Syria and Erdogan's expansionist policies will not be localized
The war in Turkey against northern Syria began on Wednesday afternoon with shelling between Ra's al-'Ayn (Kurdish: Serekaniye) and Tell Abyad (Kurdish: Gire Spi). During the afternoon, Turkish air strikes and bombings were also reported from Qamishli (also: Qamishlo) and Al-Malikiyah (better known under the Kurdish name Derik).
The invasion of the Turkish army in northern Syria is part of the asymmetric war that Erdogan has been waging for years. For Europe, especially for Germany, it will sooner or later take revenge to close our eyes and ears before this war on our doorstep. The war against the people of northern Syria and Erdogan's expansionist policies will not be localized. For the past three years, Turkish media has spread maps showing Erdogan's plans for expansion following the Ottoman Empire.
Trump's announcement that Turkey is now responsible for the captured IS terrorists in northern Syria should freeze everyone's blood, as the years of Turkish support for ISIS and the other jihadist groups in Syria are well documented. Alleged Turkish fight against the IS always meant to incorporate former IS fighters in other jihadist structures and to use as auxiliaries for their own purposes to u.a. to initiate or threaten new refugee flows to Europe and to pay for their prevention. The annexation of northern Syria and its consequences, he will be paid by the EU.
The illegal international attack on northern Syria has begun. People flee from Serekaniye. The North Syrian-based news agency ANHA is hit by a cyber attack. In the border region the telephone connections are interrupted. There are tens of thousands of jihadists and Turkish soldiers in the social media, who are said to have been raised on the Turkish side in front of the border towns of Kobane, Gire Spi and Serekaniye.
The opposition Kemalist party CHP, which won the mayoral elections in Istanbul against the AKP candidate only because the HDP renounced its own candidate in favor of a CHP candidate, in Parliament approved the war of aggression (see: Erdogan's work and Kilicdaroglu's contribution Once again, the nationalist old men's team has gained the upper hand in the CHP, and the Turkish media is also launching an attack and publishing a map showing that Turkey wants to occupy the entire area from Afrin to Derik along the Turkish-Syrian border.
"Go and tell the infidel, Muhammad's army has returned," wrote the AKP propaganda newspaper Yeni Akit on its front page after Trump's announcement of the US withdrawal from the border area. An attack on this territory will meet with fierce resistance. The Kurdish self-defense unit YPG warns of a major bloodbath and calls on the international community to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe. The entire region is already crowded with refugees from Afrin and the residents.
Considering the inhabitants of the region as "terrorists", Erdogan will portray the defense of the people as an attack on Turkish security: "You see, they do not surrender or give us their territory, but attack us ..." Security will be a new escape movement from Syria to Europe. Because: Where are the 3 million people living in northern Syria?
The Syrian regime will not welcome her with open arms. Rather, they are likely to look into gun lounges in the Assad area if they are unwilling to give up their demand for minority recognition and surrender to the regime. Ultimately, only escape to northern Iraq or to Europe.
The Kurdish autonomy government of Northern Iraq, which is supported by the federal government with weapons and support, warned the Turkish government against the incalculable consequences of a Turkish invasion, pointing out that it still had to provide 1.1 million refugees, the fled from ISIS in Iraq. Barzani is also looking for a conversation in Washington.
The conservative Barzani Kurds are already driving the fear of a resurgence of IS and about the loss of meaning as a business partner of Turkey, as Turkey opens up new routes through northern Syria. The Kurdish autonomy region would then be forced into economic offside.
Erdogan's war and blackmail
An important part of Erdogan's asymmetric war strategy is the blackmail of Europe with new refugees. Since 2015, European diplomats and the military have been talking about the Turkish "migration weapon". "Because the Turkish secret di
