"The separatist murderers will either bid farewell to their weapons, or they will be buried in Syrian lands along with their weapons," the Turkish president said.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan issued direct threats against Kurdish rebels in Syria on Wednesday.

This comes amongst reports of a Turkish troop buildup on the Turkey-Syria border in what analysts believe may be harbinger of an invasion into Kurdish-held territory .

    These Kurdish rebels he’s on about have one of the most democratic systems of government in existence

        He doesn’t care about their political system. What he cares about is that they are Kurds. Kurds did some terrorism in Turkey. Some Kurds want to separate from Turkey. Both things are a serious problem. Also, Syrian oil fields those particular Kurds control. Yeah, it’s actually probably mostly about oil.

    Isn’t inflation high as fuck in Turkey right now? Trying to fight against an external enemy is likely to trigger a revolt isn’t it?
