Erdogan urges resettling of one million refugees to ethnically cleanse northern Syria
2019-12-18
[THEBAGHDADPOST] Ottoman Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called on Tuesday for the resettlement of 1 million Syrian refugees in a "peace zone" in the northern part of their homeland, on a voluntary basis but in "a very short period of time".

"We need to find formula to allow refugees... who traveled to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
to be resettled in their motherland," Erdogan, whose country hosts 3.7 million Syrian refugees, told the Global Forum on Refugees, being held in Geneva.

Housing and schools could be set up in the zone, where some 371,000 Syrian refugees have already returned since Ottoman Turkish military operations to clear the area of "terrorist organizations", he said, naming Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
and the Kurdish YPG and PKK.
