Until now, the Turkish Armed Forces and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) troops they support have been advancing through Syrian territory without any resistance; however, sooner or later, they will be routed at a very high price, so it's best to withdraw now, before the country becomes a direct participant in the conflict, says former Turkish diplomat.
Turkish Armed Forces and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) they support within the Euphrates Shield operation have been advancing through the Syrian territory without any resistance.
However sooner or later, they will be routed and they will pay a very high price for it in terms of human and material losses, Faruk Logoglu, Turkish former diplomat and former ambassador to the US told Sputnik Turkiye.
What is even more dangerous, he said, is that the current policy of the Turkish government towards the Syrian Kurds will inevitably push Turkey into a direct confrontation with the Kurdish units in the region.
This means that Ankara will become a direct participant in the Syrian military conflict, fighting at two frontlines simultaneously – against Daesh and the People's Protection Units, also known as the People's Defense Units (YPG), the main armed service of the Kurdish Federation of Northern Syria – Rojava.
Turkey does not need this. Its main task is to ensure security along its border with Syria, to eliminate any terrorist threat on its frontiers and contribute diplomatically to the settlement of the Syrian conflict. The Turkish former diplomat explained that the farther Turkey's armed units go into Syria, the more problems they will encounter.
The first question they will be forced to answer after they supposedly liberate the city of al-Bab in the northeast of Aleppo and take under control the region: what will be next? How to keep the territory under control?......http://sptnkne.ws/cp6E
