I read some of your comments and it intrigued me. What do you think Turkey should do in Syria for its interests?
We have a very serious refugee problem. And these refugees came mostly because they were persecuted under the PKK/YPG administration.
We can leave all this back to Syria for our own benefit. However, in this case, many problems will arise and we will be complicit in crimes against humanity. In order for people to live in Syria, we need to clear an area 30 kilometers deep from our border. But the government is not doing this operation for some reasons that I don't understand. We are basically enemies with the PKK/YPG, but we cannot act due to the American and Russian activities there.
I don't like the Assad government either, it is personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. If we are to make a deal with the Assad regime, we must be very careful. When we send refugees back, we have to make sure they don't commit massacres again. Otherwise, if we try to hand it over to the Assad administration in an unplanned manner, we will be partners in crimes against humanity.
Syria is a dead end for now. And when Turkey recovers economically and military projects are completed and implemented, the army will become much stronger. In this period of time, there will be operations/attacks against Assad and the PKK/YPG administration in Syria, and the Syrian problem will be resolved in the next 10 years.
The first issue concerning the PKK and its offshoots is that i don't think it can be defeated entirely, the reason for this is that its heads operate in america, europe and france. We have no real way of combating this, even nothing nations like Sweden give them safe haven and then insult us over NATO membership, let alone france and germany or russia.
But the danger can be managed and the best way to that is for the Turkish military to control northern syria/iraq.
Whatever happens its important that Turkey does not backtrack, you leave syria and iraq and they will rush to create their pkkistan/kurdistan that will be primarily used to destabilise Turkey and provoke the common Kurd into open revolt.
Whether they can create a greater kurdistan is not their primary ambition, their aim is to push relentlessly for its creation to destabilise the region.
In my mind the primary reason for the american/european support towards the communist criminal network is isreal. Isreal is a paranoid state that fears for her existence, if you look at her history ever since her creation she has operated to undermine all regional actors. I have nothing against Jews or Isreal, but its a mad crazy idea to take european jews and place them in the centre of the arab muslim world, it was never going to work and won't ever work and Isreal will never feel safe without a buffer. The west supports the communist kurds because they are divisive and can be used against all regional states. They cannot support Muslim Kurds because Muslims Kurds are likely to be against Isreal and Sunni Muslims will look towards Turkey while Shia will look towards Iran. Many Kurds who support AK party are islamist in nature for example.
The secondary reason is our geography worries Europe and Russia, this is why greece is so one sidely supported and why nations like armenia who are allies of Russia and Iran, get more western support then Turkey. The greek attempt to annex Cyprus was an example of trying to cut Turkey out of the east med.
Ultimately the get of jail card is going to be our military developments. Those guys working in that industry are critical to the sovereignty of the Turkish republic. Every time they make an advancement no matter how small, we move towards a stronger and safer Turkey. At all costs this must continue and it must continue to succeed.
Anyway back to point. Every operation into Syria has made our enemies position weaker and ours stronger. So the obvious aim is to keep expanding operations. As it stands now Russia and the USA are united against us in Syria and the EU constantly causes us problems.
First thing you do, is you no longer save europe from refugees, you let them go onto europe. The EU is a vindictive and nasty racist organisation, it will do nothing for us thats good unless their own arse is on fire. Let the refugees go, that will force the EU to start begging us to do something about it instead of threatening us not to solve the problem.
In Syria the weak link is Russia, we need Turkey to move away economically from Russia. We cant let the threat of gas cuts hamper any actions we need to take. Once we cut ourselves off from Russian dependence you move on that region.
As far as the American controlled side is concerned, the YPG should be targeted day and night, non stop. The situation must be made pointless and untenable for the Americans there.
But whatever happens what we cannot do is leave Syria while iran, usa and russia are there.
