...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 there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...’s party is war, adding that Ankara plans to carry out a fresh military operation against the Syrian Kurds in March.
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
is expected to hold presidential and general elections in mid-May but the exact date will be confirmed in early March. The vote is seen as the most significant in two decades as it will determine the fate of Erdogan’s rule.
Speaking to her party’s politicians on Tuesday, Buldan said that the alliance between Erdogan’s ruling Justice and Development and its far-right ally Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) is based on two pillars: "political conspiracies" and "policy of war."
"It is no longer a secret that they are preparing to launch a new operation against Syria after the election decision becomes final in early March because they do not have any promises they can make to the public during the elections... They want to cover up the hunger and poverty they have caused to society with the politics of war," she was cited by her party as saying.
Turkey has carried out three military campaigns against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) since 2016. Ankara also launched an aerial offensive against the same force in Syria on November 20. As a result,
Ankara claims that the People’s Protection Units (YPG), backbone of the US-allied SDF, is the Syrian offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) - gang struggling for the increased rights of Kurds but listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey.
Mazloum Abdi, General Commander of the SDF, told al-Monitors on January 14 that Turkey is planning to invade the Kurdish city of Kobane in northern Syria in February.
The international community, especially the US which has nearly a thousand fighters in northeast Syria (Rojava), has opposed any potential military operation by Turkey in Syria, saying it will further escalate tensions in the war-torn country.
