| 2016-09-05 |
| [ALMASDARNEWS] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s Prime Minister Binali Yildirim has stated that Turkey will not tolerate an ’artificial state’ comprised of Kurdish holy warriors on its border. He was referring to the plan of Rojava independent of Syria rules by US-supported Marxist YPG. "We will never allow the formation of an artificial state in the north of Syria," Yildirim said in a speech in the Kurdish city of Diyarbakir in southeastern Turkey, adding, "We are there with Euphrates Shield, we are there to protect our border, to provide for our citizens safety of life and property, and to ensure Syria’s integrity." Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, Agent 49 felt gingerly for his head. It was still there. He had been hoping differently... Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... said at the G20 gathering of world leaders in China that Turkey would not permit the establishment of a "terror corridor" in northern Syria. "Nobody should expect that we’ll agree to the establishment of a terror corridor along our southern border in northern Syria," Erdogan said on September 1. Turkey forms new alliance against Kurds [ARA News] AMUDE – Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım has condemned Western media reports that Ankara’s military operations target Kurds and not ISIS, suggesting they just target terrorists. But Kurdish civilians in Syria disagree. “Thos claims are baseless; Turkey’s main objective is to hit the Kurds in Syria and prevent them from obtaining their legitimate rights,” Kurdish activist Abdulqadir Darwish told ARA News. “It’s not a matter of which Kurdish party is in control of Rojava [Syria’s Kurdish region]. Turkey has reached an agreement with Iran and others to hit the Kurds.” “The US support for our forces is merely to serve their own interests in the region. We’ve been fighting ISIS for years, but we shouldn’t expect anything in return, not even regaining our legitimate rights as a nation of 40 million people,” Darwish said. “Today the Kurds find themselves in fight with ISIS, Turkey, Assad regime and Iran,” said Sharwan Amudi, a Kurdish citizen in Hasakah province. “We are all aware that after Turkey invaded Jarablus city, ISIS militants just removed their beards and joined other Turkish-backed rebel groups who claim to be members of the so-called Free Syrian Army,” he said. “The Turks would make an agreement with the devil just to destroy the Kurds and to stay in power in this region,” he added. Mohammed Kheir Najar, a citizen from Amude city, told ARA News that Turkey considers all Kurdish parties as enemies. “For Turkey, there is no difference between the PKK, PYD, or KDP,” he said. “Turkey’s main goal from intervening in Syria is to prevent the Kurdish advance against radical groups. They are trying to destroy the Rojava democratic project,” Najar said. |
