Greetings to my friends on the InformationWar platform, I bring you greetings from my family. I join this honorable community to present truth journalism to you all. Don't forget that the ongoing war in Ukraine has affected the entire world in all ramifications and any other war will worsen the situation of world economy.
4 days ago, the Turkish President Erdogan said that Turkey will launch a new military operations in Syria. This military operations is targeted at the Turkey-Syria border to create a 30km Safe Zone for Turkey. It should be noted that, once this military operation is launched, it'll be the fourth military incursion meted by Turkey military since 2016.
For those that are updated on the ongoing war in Syria can attest that last month the Turkish government placed a ban on Russian airplanes from crossing her airspace. This ban wasn't limited to jets carrying military aids to Syria but also aircraft carrying civilians to Syria.
This decision by Turkey was a serious setback to the military support of Russia to Syria. I think this might be the cause of that imminent ban on Russian airplanes heading towards Syria.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that Ankara is planning to launch a new military operation in Syria in an effort to link up two areas already under Turkish control, raising fears of renewed fighting on the Turkey-Syria border.
Speaking following a cabinet meeting on Monday, Erdogan said the operation would aim to resume Turkish efforts to create a 30km (20 mile) “safe zone” along its border with Syria.Source
It's been part of the Turkey's plan to add some new landmass to the existing ones in the southern border of Turkey and Syria, but somany things have happened lately that have changed that plan. With the ongoing war in Syria, there's likelihood that the Syrian military will want to close the southern borders, which will affect the already claimed area that is part of Turkey today. It should be noted that most Syrian refugees are taking refuge in Turkey.
“We will soon take new steps regarding the incomplete portions of the project we started on the 30km deep safe zone we established along our southern border,” Erdogan said.Source
According to Erdogan, the military operations in Syria will not affect the Syrian refugees in Turkey, but the aim of the operations is to take an additional 30km safe zone for his country.
Erdogan did not provide further details but said the operation would begin after Turkey’s military, intelligence and security forces completed their preparations.
The area targeted by the proposed military operation is controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces, an umbrella group that includes the People’s Protection Units, a Kurdish armed group also known as the YPG.Source
With the said region being under the control of the SDF, it still poses a threat to Turkey, because the SDF comprises of the PKK that's referred to as a terrorists group by the Turkish government.
This operation means a lot to the Turkish government but details of the operations haven't been said yet. The Turkish President Erdogan said the operation will kickstart after the Turkish intelligence personnels have finished with their investigation in the said region.
More news about the new Turkish operations will be brought to you in our subsequent bulletin as the news unfolds.
