Erdogan vows to clear ‘Kurdish terror-infested regions’ in northern Syria
What, again?
[MOBILE.ALMASDARNEWS] Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey...
told the audience at an iftar dinner on Friday that nation’s armed forces will be clearing the remaining "terrorist groups" from Syria.

"Tens of thousands of guns, vehicles and equipment are provided free-of-cost to terror groups in northern Syria who we are fighting," Erdogan said, taking a jab at the U.S.’ support of the Kurdish-led forces in Syria.

"We will soon clear terror-infested regions of Syria and give 4 million Syrians the chance to return home," he added.

Erdogan has repeatedly vowed to eliminate these ’terror’ groups east of the Euphrates; however, due to the prescience of U.S.-led Coalition forces in these areas, the Ottoman Turkish leader has been unable to commit his forces to such an operation.

At the same time, Erdogan is also busy with the election fiasco in Istanbul, for which he cancelled the results because they were not favorable to his political party.

Erdogan’s decision to cancel the election results in Istanbul may create turmoil within his own country, which will greatly influence whether or not he can commit his military to such an operation.
