Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced on Thursday that a tripartite mechanism between Turkey, Russia and Iran had been discussed, and that the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) would be positioned within Idlib.
“President Putin was recently in Turkey. We discussed how we could make a tripartite mechanism [in Syria] work. We have a roadmap regarding this issue. In the upcoming days, the relevant departments will take the necessary steps. A division of duties has been made regarding the de-escalation zones. Steps will be taken to ensure the safety and security of the residents,” said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on his return flight from a one-day trip to Iran.
The same steps that we took in Jarabulus and Rai that ensured 100,000 people could return will be taken in Idlib. The TAF will be positioned within the borders of Idlib, and the Russian armed forces will be positioned outside its borders,” he added.
Erdoğan also touched on the illegal Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) referendum.

“In the end, Barzani and his accomplices will give up. What they did [referendum] has no legal ground. It's contrary to international law. It has to pass through the federal parliament, and it is certain that it will not be approved. The Iraqi central government announced this. The Iraqi Constitutional Court also suspended the referendum decision and ruled that it had to be stopped,” he said.
Erdoğan also said that the relevant ministers and departments were continuing talks regarding the KRG taking steps back and added that there had been no signs of northern Iraq softening.
The president expressed that Turkey had not made an attempt to contact the KRG, and said “it would be wrong to make such contact.”
Erdoğan said that for Turkey to be satisfied, Barzani had to retract the referendum completely.
Turkey accelerates preparations for Afrin operation
Preparations for a military operation in Syria’s Afrin, a hotbed for the Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) terrorist organization, have been accelerated. With military drills on Turkey’s borders, Afrin has been surrounded, and a logistics and supply line has been established.There is a great deal of activity for 100 kilometers in the region from Reyanlı-Bükülmez to Kilis. Measures were also taken to prevent infiltration of the settlements on the Syrian side of the border in Nasıriye, Sheikh Hadid, Sate, Raju, Meidan Ekbis and Bulbul. Security units in Amanos, which the PKK uses frequently to infiltrate Turkey, are on alert.Turkey amasses tanks along Syria borderTHREE-PRONGED MOBILIZATIONThe Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) have launched plans to expand the front in Atme, which is home to refugee camps and the line between the Syrian opposition and the PKK. This will enable the TAF to surround Afrin from three sides.TAF bases in the Euphrates Shield region and Turkish-backed opposition forces are also continuing their preparations. Military sources indicated that the main purpose of the operation was to isolate the terrorists in Afrin from the world.Afrin, one of the first areas that the PKK seized after the war in Syria, is one of the terrorist organization’s psychologically and strategically critical regions. Afrin plays a key role in the PKK’s plan to open a terror corridor into the Mediterranean. The terrorists in Afrin are allegedly bring reinforcements from Aleppo.PKK targets Syria’s oil-rich Deir ez-ZorClashes between the PKK terrorists and opposition forces are frequent in the region.The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the European Union and the United States. The PKK has been conducting armed violence in the southeastern part of Turkey since 1984. More than 40,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the three-decade long conflict.MILITARY REINFORCEMENTSWhile Turkish troops are preparing to ensure security in Idlib in the context of the agreement made in Astana, the military shipment to the Hatay-Kilis line continued on Wednesday. Military vehicles were transported from Kırklareli to İskenderun Gar, close to the Turkey-Syria border.The military reinforcements were then taken to Ahmet Tor Barracks. The reinforcements included tanks, howitzers and armored vehicles that are to be positioned in border regions.PM says Turkey will not hesitate to protect bordersTurkish warplanes ready to strike terrorist organizations11 PKK terrorists killed in southeast Turkey operationsTurkey: We will not allow a terror corridor in Iraq, Syria
“The referendum must be cancelled. Not that it has any validity. Look at Kosovo. Despite being recognized by 114 countries, it still does not have a state. The first country to recognize Kosovo was the U.S., followed by Turkey within a matter of seconds. The work of the KRG has no support except from Israel. So they must take steps to end this themselves. Otherwise, within a certain timeframe, we will take countermeasures,” Erdoğan said.
The president criticized the inclusion of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk in the referendum, saying that Kurds had no legitimacy there.
“Kirkuk is very sensitive. The KRG wanted to establish dominance over Kirkuk. But those are special areas so nobody can claim ownership. Turkmens live there, and when we look at Kirkuk’s history, they have a very serious right of ownership. We should protect those who live there. We know that Kurds have no legitimacy there,” Erdoğan said.
Turkey: We will not allow a terror corridor in Iraq, Syria
Turkish Armed Forces’ Chief of the General Staff Hulusi Akar on Sept. 16 attended the NATO Military Committee Chiefs of Defense Meeting held in Tirana, Albania. Akar, meeting with his U.S. counterpart Joseph Dunford, stated that Turkey will not allow a terror corridor covering the northern regions of Syria and Iraq.Expressing Turkey’s discomfort of the United States’ support to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorist organization, Akar reminded his counterpart that Turkish troops will provide security in the Syria’s Idlib. He also met with the Italian, British and Romanian chiefs of staff at the NATO meeting.At least 2 PKK terrorists killed in southeast TurkeyUS sends arms worth $2.2 bln to terrorist organizations in Syria
“At the moment, they are occupying the area. They have always used the strength they have to try to enter Kirkuk. The central government is going to take the necessary steps regarding Kirkuk. Our communication with Iraq and Iran is ongoing. The necessary steps will be taken. We will take the necessary steps for Kirkuk, and also for Mosul. We will support those who live there,” he added.
Iran and Turkey have already threatened to join Baghdad in imposing economic sanctions on the KRG and have launched joint military exercises with Iraqi troops on their borders after northern Iraq's independence referendum last month.
Turkey, Iran and Iraq will jointly decide on closing the flow of oil from northern Iraq, Erdoğan added.

TAF and TAF Supported FSA groups have entered Idlib, some clashes occured at border villages between HTS and TAF.
Bazı muhalifler Nusra DEAŞ gibi değil diyor ama durum tam aksine, bu grupta coniler tarafından kurulup bölgede ki hedeflerini gerçekleştirmek için kullanılan bir yapı, muhaliflerin büyük bir çoğunluğu oyunun farkında ama malesef hala içlerinde Nusra'yı iyi niyetli görenler var. İnşallah en az çatışma ile bölgeyi teslim alırız, sahada istihbarat olarak ne kadar aktif olursak o kadar az çatışma çıkacaktır, çatışma riski olan birliklerin liderlerini ortadan kaldırırsak çatışmalar o denli az olur.
İdlib Fırat kalkanı bölgesine göre çok daha riskli, güvenilebilecek muhalif sayısı sahada çok az, istihbaratımıza çok büyük yük düşüyor... Sahaya paldır küldür girer kaçakçı rüşvetle çalışan muhaliflerle iş tutarsak aynı Fırat kalkanında olduğu gibi bize yanlış istihbarat verip bizdeki bilgiyi de karşıya verirler. Suriye gün geçtikçe daha karmaşıklaşıyor kardeşin kardeşine güvenmediği o ortamda adımlarımızı çok dikkatli atmak durumundayız. Allah yardımcımız olsun.

Are there any news about the conditions of Idlib operation agreement such as is there any condition for soldiers to stay. Such as for example until Syrian elections, peace agreement with fsa or similar or no precondition like in jarablus soldiers staying indefinately.
If there is no precondition for us to leave there can be conflicts with Syrian govt after things settle down for them they will demand us to leave so in agreement these cases should be clear in my opinion to avoid any future conflict.

Russia would talked with Assad for Turkey about that agreement,
btw looks like our forces ready to do operations on PYD regions like Ayn Al Arab
TAF backed FSA groups entered Idlib last night but Turkish army havent entered, they have prepared to enter
Şuanda Amerika Rusya ve İran Nusra ile çatışma çıkması için ellerini ovuşturuyorlar, bölgede Muhalif unsurları kullanarak Nusrayı ikna etmek zorundayız, ne kadar az çatışma bizim için o kadar iyi, teslim olmayan liderleri suikast vb. yöntemlerle etkisiz hale getirmek lazım. Daha sonra Fırat kalkanı bölgesinde olduğu gibi yerel polis kuvvetleri kurma sureti ile çeteleşme, hırsızlık, kaçakçılık yada fitne çıkartan grupları etkisiz hale getirmeliyiz.

They have no ability to get involved, this part of Syria is under Russian jurisdiction. You can bet however that Saudi media will pump out a lot of sschit, that's all they can do. (Almonitor)

What about 'Turkish military interventions in Syria'?
WOW 3 UAVs at the moment over Afrin-Idlib area.
Or even merge it in a way that we can post updates from Iraq to.
