The stability introduced into regions of Syria through Turkey’s Euphrates Shield and Olive Branch operations has become a source of hope for locals.
Locals of Syria’s Manbij are awaiting a sign from Turkish troops to retaliate against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK)’s Syrian branch, the PYD, which is the Pentagon’s pawn in the region. The same goes for Tal Abayd, al-Hasakah, Kobani, Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor. The United States will no longer be able to remain in the region.
Hundreds of thousands of Syrian locals who were exiled by the U.S.-PKK alliance are counting down the days to join the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in the operation to be initiated by the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF).
The security ensured by Turkey that prevails in Afrin, Jarabulus, al-Bab and Azaz has become the ideal of all Syrians. The hate that is built up in the region against the terrorists is about to cause a domino effect.
The millions of Syrian nationals who took refuge in Turkey to escape the clutches of war in their homeland want to return to their homes. If the U.S. fails once again to keep its promise regarding the withdrawal of the PKK from Manbij, plans and preparations for a possible operation are complete.
Arab, Turkmen and Kurdish tribes are awaiting Turkey’s move. Idlib locals, who saw people return safely to Afrin once it was cleared of the PKK, are also calling on Turkish troops to end the instability in the region.
Operation Olive Branch was initiated on Jan. 20 in Afrin to establish security and stability, eliminate PKK/KCK/PYD-YPG and Daesh terrorists, and save locals from their oppression and cruelty.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the European Union and the United States. The PKK has been conducting armed violence in the southeastern part of Turkey since 1984. More than 40,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the three-decade long conflict.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has stressed that his country would not allow Sinjar to become a stronghold for the PKK, which established a presence there in 2014 on the pretext of fighting the Daesh terrorist group.
Ankara’s determination on the matter was made clear during the National Security Council meeting held on Wednesday. A statement released said the National Security Council meeting, which lasted for four hours, assessed threats that targeted the national security of Turkey, and added that Turkey will take action if Iraq failed to halt the PKK terrorist group's activities in its territory.
TAF camps established in Iraq’s north are being joined one by one with roads that connect to Turkey. Many Turkmen, Kurdish, Ezidi and Arab local fighters are awaiting for a sign from Turkey.
Fake news that the terror group is leaving Sinjar is being spread by those who play games like forming new pseudo political parties in Syria to hide the PKK. A Peshmerga commander based in Sinjar, in northern Iraq, confirmed on Wednesday the continued presence of the PKK terror group in the region.
Local and military sources believe that no power will be able to stand in the way of Turkey’s operation to be launched in the east and west of the Euphrates. The operation plans for reestablishing order on the Syrian-Iraqi line have been designed in the finest detail.
