Turkey will carry out more cross-border offensives into Syria, Erdogan vows

has vowed to launch further cross-border military operations into Syria following Ankara’s two previous large-scale offensives into the war-torn country, as he announced his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP)’s manifesto ahead of snap elections on June 24.

will launch additional offensives like Euphrates Shield and Olive Branch operations to clear its border of terror organizations in the new era," the Ottoman Turkish leader said at an AK Party’s congress held in Istanbul on Sunday.

Ankara carried out the so-called Operation Euphrates Shield against purported targets of the ISIS Takfiri

terrorist group between August 2016 and March 2017, and launched the ongoing Olive Branch offensive against the purported positions of the US-backed People's Protection Units (YPG) Kurdish militia in Syria’s western enclave of Afrin earlier this year.

The Ottoman Turkish government considers the YPG as a terror group and as the Syrian branch of the PKK bully boy group that has been fighting for an autonomous region inside Turkey since 1984.

Both offensives were conducted in flagrant defiance of Damascus.

Addressing thousands of his supporters, Erdogan said that his government’s cross-border operations into the Arab country would continue "until not a single terrorist is left."

"We shattered the terror corridor being formed on our southern border with these operations. Our soldiers, who lastly wrote an epic in Afrin, are ready for new missions," he added.
