Turkish Army prepares to invade Kurdish enclave in northwest Aleppo
2017-12-09
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish Army has been building up their forces around the northwestern countryside of the Aleppo Governorate these past two months, raising concerns inside the Afrin Canton of a possible invasion soon.

Week after week, the Ottoman Turkish Army has been sending convoys comprised of 100+ soldiers to the outskirts of the PYD governed Afrin Canton, where they have built military posts around several roadways.

While this region is considered part of the de-escalation zone, the Ottoman Turkish Army has ignored the ceasefire and carried out several attacks against the predominately Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG).

Despite support from the U.S. in other parts of the country, the YPG is surrounded and cutoff from their forces in other provinces, making it difficult to withstand a potential siege.

...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
'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...

considers the YPG an offshoot of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which is his justification for his army’s aggression towards the Kurdish forces in Syria.
