Erdogan vows to ‘eliminate’ Kurdish fighters in Iraq if US military doesn’t
2018-12-15
[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...
urged the US to "eliminate" Kurdish fighters in Northern Kurdistan, vowing that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
will do so if the US does not. Erdogan was speaking from Istanbul on Friday.

Erdogan started by announcing that Turkey had conducted operations against Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq, adding that "there will be more to come."

"Why? Because, if there is a threat towards us from those areas ‐ and yes there is ‐ then they [the US] should eliminate those holy warriors from that area. If they dont we will do it," vowed Erdogan.

"Yesterday’s attack from Tal Afar against our soldiers in Afrin showed how accurate our decision was. This attack proved that the holy warriors who were pilling up on our border, would eventually target us," said the Ottoman Turkish leader.

#1  US should have worked with Turkey long ago to take over Syria/Northern Iraq and give it to the Kurds. I have no doubt the Turks would love to get all of their Kurds to move out of Turkey it's a lot better than their genocide daydreams.
