President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hinted a looming military operation against Kurdish enclave in northern Syria to uproot Kurdish militants in an effort to blunt their aspirations for a statelet on the southern side of the Turkish-Syrian border.
Speaking on Sunda, President Erdogan reiterated Turkey’s long-standing threat for a military action against Afrin, which is near to the Turkish-Syrian border in western Syria, and Manbij, cities both controlled by the Kurdish-led forces.
While Turkey is long speaking about a potential military endeavor, which could risk jeopardizing its relations with the U.S., Erdogan this time said the operation may take place soon.
