Syria accuses Turkey of having 10,000 soldiers and 166 tanks inside country
2019-08-03
[ALMASDARNEWS] Syria’s Permanent Representative to United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
, Dr. Bashar al-Ja’afari, accused The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
of mass deploying their troops inside of Syria during the Astana Peace Conference on Friday.
"You said 'just the tip'!!"
During his speech at the peace conference, the veteran Syrian diplomat accused Turkey of deploying more than 10,000 soldiers and 166 tanks inside of northern Syria.

The Syrian diplomat highlighted the fact that the Ottoman Turkish troops were acting as occupation force within a sovereign nation, adding that they were illegally inside of Syria.

Turkey maintains that they’re conducting "anti-terror operations" in line with an agreement with Syria that was established in the late 1990s.

Syria, on the other hand, says the agreement is null and void because Turkey broke off diplomatic relations in 2012.

While both Syria and Turkey have acknowledged that they share some intelligence reports, both nations have refused to move towards diplomatic rapprochement.

#5  The Kurds have been pretty consistent IMO. I would trust them more that any of the other tribes. Except the Israelis.

#4  reL#3 For me that's a "yahbut". I know that the Kurds have bye and large been more or less on our side. That's the "yah". BUT I can't trust any of those tribes over there to act in a civilized productive way.

#3  The Turks are there to kill Kurds. Remember that when Erdogan says "terrorist" he means "Kurd".

(/me wonders if there is some way to get the Russians actively involved... like payback for that pilot the Turks shot down.)
