Why,because they have the same big brother?
Didnt the PKK kill and kick out their Arab bretherns from other places in Syria?
Does it make sense to you?
In every civil war,that is important to not to fight many but a single enemy at first.

Like the Red army in Russian civil war

This is not even the first time they came close actually. Past US operations in Idlib pocket also saw some YPG/HAT members joining. They are not cordial, but HTS doesn't think they are the real target, I don't think they ever did. HTS will always have its eyes set on Assad. It was good that SNA was there in the north.

They will also keep a more neutral stance to get more concessions from Turkey and weigh in their potential. HTS can't exist without Turkey, that's not changed, but we have never been direct partners nor we ever had the same relationship with them we had with TFSA and then SNA.

If PMF reinforcements coming from Iraq is stopped in Bukamal and they are not a threat, we might actually even see a Salvation led new government in Syria in the future. That's why I said when all this started that Turkey is not the main instigator of this new offensive, we are in for the ride. I do hope Jolani doesn't forget about us once he finds true power and new responsibilities.

Bro, PKK and HTS both has ties to the US and Israel. Moreover, it is highly speculated that some elements of the HTS are actually former ISIS remnants whom were created by the same US which created the YPG

The only reason Turkey supports them is because of the modus operandi "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" since as far as my info goes, even the Turks dont like the HTS very much. Probably one of the reasons why the TSK isnt actively helping the war while at the same time keeping the door open for Assad for striking a deal
