Turkey is sending in germdanes or "special forces" who were instrumental in the Kurdish areas of Turkey for brutal reprisals against the Kurds. But the YPG is not the same as the PKK. Turkish war ships have surrounded Cyprus. In another part of Syria where Syrian Government forces supported by Russia were involved in a fight with ISIS. ISIS took 100 civilian hostages and Putin with Syria suspended the assault so as not to harm the civilians per a report from the area. Posted by: Ulaigum Ebbineng7056 2018-02-27 |
