if you read the turkish section you will realize that many turkish users including me are all totally against north iraq in the hands of a kurdish clan.. some do not see it bad but that is very dangerous and a bad thing I would see it better in the hands of the central government.. but I fear to much iranian influence..
this issue is very complicated.. turkey supports the fsa and use them to legislate all actions.. but yes all actions have to be done for our national security.. if you have ever viseted the turkish section you will notice that many ppl are very angry about our foreign affairs.. specially to not do anything and let pkk/pyd get stronger with a fake peace process or actually help them in ayn al arab.. PYD should have been crushed like north barzani kurdistan should be crushed.. but as I mentioned before the mullahs are not much better.. I know that today the influence of iran in iraq is a little bit lesser than in the beginning of all this conflict but still i fear it could change.. but this does not change my mind on crushing barzani kurdistan it will bite back in the future..
you generalize our ppl but the reality is many are not comfort with the situation the terrorists who cleaned ayn al arab from everything wich is not kurdish and did same in other regions should be eliminated..they are also the enemies of arabs..but for now at least their dream of syria and iraq being one kurdistan together is over and they are like seperated , but for most turkish users here this is not enough we would like to see more against PYD
babbling against israel is like sport.. he does it to get some public votes and to please some ppl mostly its for internal politics..
also you cannot compare israel and syria.. while we are not fighting against arabs we are fighting with arabs against pyd.. thats totally a different thing.. also we are currently building up the civilian infrastructure in this pkk free areas.. including hospitals.. compare russians and saa bombings with ours it not about total destruction and mass killing.. its against one certain terrorist organisation.. be fair plz
as I said before many turkish ppl dont like our foreign policy too.. but for syria we have to be much harder and do more.. specially against PKK/PYD the actual situation is worse in my eyes.. they should have been eliminated far before ayn al arab.. we should have had a buffer zone for syrian refugees years before
if you really focus on the well being of arabs and not your own.. than I cant understand that you can see the faults of others but you dont complain about gcc arabs who spoiled and filled the syrian war including many other arab states that went throug fitnah.. I really miss that in your writings and that is the thing that makes you in my eyes flawed.. really you would be much more credible if you would not write your onesided postings
for turkey its essential to strike pkk and pyd in syria and iraq for our own security.. yes problems were not only made from outside our politicians have errors by not doing much against pkk and so on.. but for now they need to be cleansed.. and our army did it well in syria..
you should be more worried about kurds annexing syrian lands than turks who have settled there arabs
First of all your post, albeit a long one, is a good one and I much prefer such exchanges. I agree with much that you have written.
I have talked about this issue with Turks (North Iraq) and they mostly agree with me but some are not too well-informed about this.
I am not generalizing. I am only talking about Erdogan and the Turkish government (Erdogan again) and the ones that support his policies.
I know. Mullahs are world champions in blabbering about Israel but never doing anything. It's been 40 years now and not a scratch on the finger have Israel received from the same Mullah's. On the contrary the same Mullah's, when they needed it most (war against Iraq), they begged Israel to support them with weapons which they did. Same with the Great Satan (USA).

This is not fitting for the topic but if you have read some of my posts on the Arab section and elsewhere you will know that I am very, very critical of Arab regimes and the incompetence of certain Arab regimes. The reason why I am less negative of late is due to promising policies (internal) of MbS and KSA improving on most fronts at a quite fast pace.
I have said it many times. If there was Arab unity among Arab regimes we would be a potential power in the world just below USA, China and Russia (if we got nuclear weapons more powerful than Russia due to greater economy, resources, military power, potential, population). I said many times that if the Arab League (an organization that predates the UN, imagine that for a second!) was just remotely similar to the EU, many problems and challenges would have been solved. I have said many times that most Arab regimes do not represent the people as well (obvious reasons).
It's just that on this forum (PDF) criticism is labelled against Arab regimes and secondly Iran but I rarely hear criticism of Turkey's policies. So sometimes I or other users need to write about this when users here are silent.
You might believe that I hate Turkey or Turks (LOL) but the reality is that Arabs and Turks share a lot in common and that most Arabs and Turks do not see each other as enemies let alone hostile people.
Well, KSA and other Arab countries are also donating much money to Syrian people, helping build the same facilities but we are not annexing anything. Maybe if KSA bordered Syria directly something similar would have been done (annexing land temporarily).
I hope not.
About those 1.5-2 million Kurds in Syria, they are not a threat long-term and once normality returns such terrorism will not be accepted. I have voiced my opposition against this always on PDF (you can make a search on PDF) and even wrote this in my first posts in this thread.
Anyway, sorry for the late reply.
