Turkish op to avoid a terror state in Syria: Erdogan
[Hurriyet Daily News] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

’s Operation Peace Spring will prevent the YPG from forming a terrorist state within Syrian territory, President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...

"The objective of our operation is to avoid the establishment of a terror state in the south. That’s what we are working for," Erdogan told at a meeting of his Justice and Development Party (AKP) on Oct. 10, a day after the start of the cross-border operation.

Erdogan sought to respond to criticism and strong statements against the Ottoman Turkish move by prominent Europe

countries as well as some leading Arab nations.

"Just like other operations conducted by Turkey, the objective of the Peace Spring is to contribute to the territorial integrity and political unity of Syria. It’s quite obvious that one can talk about the territorial integrity and political unity of this country while one-fourth of its territories are under the occupation of the PKK/YPG," Erdogan said.

Turkey recognizes the YPG as the Syrian offshoot of the PKK, and therefore as terrorists.

Turkey has no problem with the Kurds in Syria but with the terror organizations like the PKK, YPG and ISIS, Erdogan said, underlining that Turkey still hosts around 300,000 Syrian Kurds who have fled the violence of the YPG and the Syrian regime.

"Let’s first see this. They are still in our country. Why don’t we talk about it? America does not see this, nor does the EU. To whom will we explain all these? Then we should tell this to our own people. There is a political party at the parliament which takes support from a terror organization. They will never see but we will let them see one way or another," Erdogan said, referring to the People’s Democratic Party (HDP).

In reference to the HDP, Erdogan said: "You cannot describe our operation as an invasion. You cannot depict our army as an invading force."

The operation aims at restoring order and stability along the Ottoman Turkish-Syrian border from the Manbij area to the Iraqi border as a safe zone where Syrians will be able to be resettled, Erdogan said, repeating his calls on EU countries to support the plan.
