Turkey swears to eradicate terrorism from its Syria border
2016-08-29
[ALMASDARNEWS] Erdogan has sworn at the "Unity, Solidarity, and Brotherhood" rally held in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
’s southeastern Gaziantep province on Sunday that he will eradicate all forms of terrorism from its border with Syria. He was referring to ISIS and the Kurdish YPG who are aligned with the Kurdistan Workers Party of Turkey that Ankara recognises as a terrorist group.

He continued that Turkey is "ready and determined" to rid the borders of gunnies and that "our operations against terrorist organizations will continue until the end."

"If necessary, we will not hesitate to take responsibility in other regions," without specifying which regions.

Although Turkey’s Euphrates Shield operation is only meant to extend on the western side of the Euphrates river, Kurdish sources have suggest that Ankara is preparing to attack Kobani on the east side of the river.

#3  History might point to Turkey as a festering pustule of malignant ooze. The specifics of the malignancy are at long-last being recognized. The 'Sick Man' yes, but not of Europe.
