The Debate: Damascus Slams Turkey’s Offensive as Violation of Syria’s Sovereignty
- PressTV Published on Feb 21, 2018
Even though Syria is a sovereign country, it’s land and air is being violated. Coming on the heels of Israeli airstrikes and a US permanent presence in Northern Syria, now Turkey has executed an operation that includes Afrin, to rid it from what it calls the YPG terrorists, without the approval of the Syrian government. It even shelled Syrian govt. forces when they tried to enter the area. What are the Syria forces goal here, and Turkey for that matter? And why is the US not helping Turkey in their fight against the Kurds, even though it claims Turkey is its ally?
