General discusses why Turkey exposed French troops in Syria
2018-04-07
[ALMASDARNEWS] Shortly after a delegation of Syrian Kurdish militia was received by the Elysee, Ottoman Turkish media released detailed information about alleged French Special Forces positions in northern Syria. The move prompted Gay Paree to ask whether the revelations endangered French troops fighting ISIS and Ankara to accuse the French of supporting "terrorists."

Speaking to Sputnik La Belle France, retired Brigadier General Dominique Trinquand, the defense counsel to President Emmanuel Macron during last year’s presidential campaign, said that the Ottoman Turkish media’s decision to publish the sensitive information was simply "unacceptable for a country that’s supposed to be fighting the same ISIS [ISIS*] enemy."

It’s worth keeping in mind, according to the officer, that the Kurds were among the first to join the fight against ISIS in Syria, "while The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
entered this fight quite late."

"There was nothing surprising" in the Ottoman Turkish media’s decision, Trinquand said, because "in domestic politics, President Erdogan is a supporter of the Moslem Brüderbund, and the Moslem Brüderbund has been hostile to the Kurds, and from the very start, to Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
The Scourge of Hama...
and indeed to La Belle France."

As far as the purpose of La Belle France’s military mission in Syria is concerned, the senior officer said that although "President Macron clearly declared his support for the Kurds in general, new operations were not planned. In any case, the units operating there are special forces, and their positions and actions are never disclosed," he added.

In an official statement released to the press following his meeting with representatives from the Syrian Democratic Forces late last month, President Macron guaranteed the militia French support in stabilizing the security zone in northeastern Syria. Shortly thereafter, the state-run Anadolu news agency released details about five bases across Syria where it said French troops were based.
