Kurds and "rebels" exchange attacks

[Bleipriester]

If you have relied on western media you certainly missed that the "moderate opposition" (Al-Qaeda/FSA) and the Kurds (YPG/SDF) are enemies and bitterly fight each other. The Kurds try connect their two regions they hold in Syria. Meanwhile, the Erdogan regime shells the Kurdish fighters and civilians without media response.

The Syrian ceasefire plan will not be considered binding if it puts Turkey's security under threat, Turkish premier Ahmet Davutoglu has said. Ankara would act against the Syrian Kurds and ISIS, taking all the “necessary measures,” he added.

The Russian Foreign Ministry believes that Turkey’s actions are worsening the situation in Syria.

“Ankara aggravates the situation at the Syrian-Turkish border, carries out provocations. Although these aren’t provocations, strictly speaking, it’s aggression,”Foreign Ministry representative Maria Zakharova told the Russian newspaper Arguments and Facts.

Speaking on Turkish foreign policy as a whole, Zakharova highlighted many experts’ belief that Ankara is again expressing imperial ambitions.

“Recently, the Turkish political elite really gives the grounds for us to believe those who think that imperial ambitions are reappearing in Turkey. If this is true, then I’d like to remind people what outcome the Ottoman Empire caused for European countries. Secondly, how things ended for the Ottoman Empire itself,”she added.

“And one more thing: during its existence, the Ottoman Empire was branded ‘the sick man of Europe.’ I doubt that Turkey wants to be called that again,”Zakharova added.
