“Erdogan’s stated aim is to attack pro-Kurdish groups and ‘suffocate’ a ‘terror army’ in Northern Syria ‘before it’s born’. This preventive act cannot be justified as self defence under Article 51 of the Charter, Customary International Law only recognising anticipatory self-defence when an attack is imminent. It should also be noted that Syria has denounced this attack, again precluding the possibility of Turkey justifying its act as a form of collective self defence
dont say tales to the TURKS
Pro-Kurdish groups ? its Pkk-Ypg Terrorist organization who killed over 40.000 people in Turkey
YPG = PKK .... and YPG attacked over 700 times on Turkey from Syria ( including scuide bomb attacks in Turkey ) and many Turkish citizens were killed by YPG Terrorists attacks
only one example = on 23 march 2017 YPG terrorists attacked Turkey from Afrin and 1 Turkish soldier was killed ( befor the operation olive branch )
if you know nothing about it .. its your problem
I am saying again TURKEY is 100% legally in Syria
and FSA is legal armed group ( 100% Syrian citizens ) and Turkey supports only legal armed group FSA
We dont care about so-called jihadist groups İsis/HTS/etc .. even Turkey recognized İsis as a terrorist organization before the US ,EU,Russia
government ? who selected Assad ? nobody .... wtf dictator undemocratic Assad Family ?
even over 80% of Syrian people is Sunni Muslim ... but 10% Nusayr group led by dictator undemocratic Assad Family rules Syria with military action
and Syrian regime/Iran/Iran backed terrorist groups/Russia have no right to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians in Syria ......human rights violations is illegal
btw there are Turkish territory in N.Syria ( Manbij ) .... and there are millions of Turkmen in Syria
Turkey has right to protect Turkish territory in N.Syria ( Manbij )
and I remind you The US/Israel backed Pkk/Ypg terrorists occupied 30% of Syrian territory to destroy Syria's territorial integrity
