Turks could not take on ISIS yet they go after Kurds. there is a complete misalignment in terms of direction. They squandered every opportunity to engage and settle via dialogue; Edgogan is a mad man who has conflicting priorities.

Look at this smartass, hahahaha

We allowed 200k Kurds from Kobani to enter Turkey and afterward Kurdish Peshmerga forces went through Turkey to fight against ISIS...lf it wasn't Turkey they would all be slaughtered.

Please use respectful language. If you like to use profanities, then use it with someone like a street vagrant or ISIS who passed thru your borders. Problem is turks never learn from history and want to use the barrel of the gun to silence others.

Euphrates Shield was primarily targeted against ISIS. Jarabulus, Dabiq, El Bab were all held by ISIS and in El-Bab the fighting was so fierce many Turkish soldiers and FSA fighters died taking down ISIS. You probably dont know this since its clear your sources arent very accurate, but ISIS also produced propaganda videos in which they burnt Turkish soldiers alive.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt, I dont think your purposefully lying like a troll. If you get your information from PKK fanboys on twitter or anti Turkish western reports then you wont know any better than the fake narratives they produce. But everything you said is wrong and is easily proven as such. Everything you claimed has been countered with facts.
If you care for the truth then widen your sources of information and wisen up a bit and realise those anti turkish sources will feed you lies.

No, i am not anti-turkish; but I take offence to how Kurds have deliberately been targetted by Ankara.

More than 70 Turkish military aircraft that have been engaged in Ankara's Olive Branch operation in northern Syria against the Kurdish troop, according to Turkey' General Staff.

The Turkish Air Force attacked the Menagh Military Airbase in northwestern Syria, which the US used for supplying weapons to Kurdish armed forces, the Hurriyet newspaper reported citing military sources.

The newspaper noted that the airfield was among the 113 targets scheduled for the attack during Operation Olive Branch in Syrian Africa.

Commenting on the Olive Branch operation, launched earlier in the day, Turkey' General Staff announced that more than 70 Turkish military aircraft that have been engaged in the offensive.

"The airstrikes were conducted against terrorist targets in seven districts of Afrin, where 108 targets were hit. Seventy two aircraft of the Turkish Air Force engaged in the operation have successfully returned to their bases," the statement said.

As the Rojahat Roj, the Press Secretary of the Kurdish Self-Defense Forces YPG in Afrin, told Sputnik, the Turkish military advance resulted in bombing of about 100 positions in the Afrin area, with no casualties among the YPG forces, but at least sevean civilians wounded. As he specified, the Turkish military and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) wanted to enter Afrin from the territory of the Bilbile district, but YPG forces managed to prevent the move. According to the spokesperson, clashes are ongoing.

The press service of the authorities of the Afrin canton told Sputnik that at least 10 people were injured in airstrikes.

"According to the recent figures, 10 people were injured, including three people who suffered severe wounds. The list of injured people includes two children," the press service said, adding that local authorities had called on the residents of Afrin to donate blood for the victims of the Turkish airstrikes.

Despite the Ankara's assurances that they have notified Damascus about the operation progress, the latter has refuted these statements, vigorously condemning the moveand calling it the infringement on the country's sovereignty.

The Pro-Russian news agency sure knows how to make provocative titles for their articles...As far as l know the base was used by Russians and Regime forces even visited the airbase a few times last year.

Al Bab, Jarablus, almost all ES zones were taken from IS, unlike Raqqa they were not transported by Kurds and Americans to other zones, now F off commie troll.

You dont dialogue with terrorists, we tried for peace before they used it as an opportunity to stock pile weapons and bring the conflict into the cities.

Now watch and enjoy TSK blowing Kurdish extremists into the air.
