Turkey entered Syria to end al-Assad’s rule: President Erdoğan

The Turkish military launched its operations in Syria to end the rule of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Nov. 29.

“In my estimation, nearly 1 million people have died in Syria. These deaths are still continuing without exception for children, women and men. Where is the United Nations? What is it doing? Is it in Iraq? No. We preached patience but could not endure in the end and had to enter Syria together with the Free Syrian Army [FSA],” Erdoğan said at the first Inter-Parliamentary Jerusalem Platform Symposium in Istanbul.

“Why did we enter? We do not have an eye on Syrian soil. The issue is to provide lands to their real owners. That is to say we are there for the establishment of justice. We entered there to end the rule of the tyrant al-Assad who terrorizes with state terror. [We didn’t enter] for any other reason,” the president said.

Ina Adeer, that paper is privately owned and it is a more secular and a left leaning paper than the Guardian on political and social issues. Since the failed coup, Erdogan is now either harassing or arresting its editors.

Turkey detains more journalists, including a Hurriyet editor, in post-coup round-up.

Erdogan's primary objective in Syria is to destroy the Kurds (YPG).

Erdogan is bieng himself a ceeb and a bully,
But the Turkish people both secular and Muslim were begging him to stop this gulenist takeover of the country for years, but back then he was in an alliance with this cult.
What you read in Western media is just the west's wet dreams and imagination.

Yes erdogan is an evil bastards but he is working in the nation's interest, even his secular enemies in chp the kemalist generals he arrested, allot of them are back in the army and working hand in hand in purging gulenist.

I am aware of it, he has took over and planted his own operatives there, just like the many gullenist run schools he took over even financial institutions and large swathes of the military, it used to be a pro-secular Anti Erdogan cesspit, but that's old news.

Things move very quickly in the middle east, even the modern day secularist are supporting Erdogan nowadays, they have no other choice, the Gullenist and Kurds have teamed up, they were in full support of the recent arrest of HDP official's by Erdogan, he is winning the geopolitical chess game locally.

As contemptible the secularist kemalist are, they are nationalist and would never allow the take over off their country and selling it off to the highest bidders the way the Kurds and Gullenist are doing.

Erdogan barks but his bite will be lessened

He needs the nuclear power plant, he needs the trade with Russia, he needs the gas pipeline

The only card he has left to play is try to sow chaos in Northern Syria to prevent YPG of consolidating itself all along the border. So he has these FSA brigades and his army trying to break the Kurds up.
