Erdogan adviser: ‘US troops could be ‘accidentally’ hit in Turkish strikes against Kurdish YPG’

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


21st Century Wire says…

Since the US began throwing its support behind the Kurdish YPG militias in Syria, bellicose Turkey has found itself in a most precarious position. 

Turkey is now more uncertain about achieving its own agenda in Syria, part of which is said to include one or more territorial land-grabs in northern Syria.

As a result, Turkey’s President Erdogan’s unhinged, geopolitical psychopathy continues to show itself in full view…
A senior aide to Turkish President Erdogan has stated that US forces in Syria could be “accidentally” hit by Turkish rockets alongside Kurdish militants, stating that Ankara won’t hold back a strike against PKK militia just because US troops are present.

“It doesn’t matter whether they [US troops] are patrolling there. If those PKK [Kurdistan Workers’ Party] terrorists continue their activities within Turkey…you know they are infiltrating from northern Syria [into Turkey]…” Ilnur Cevik, a senior political adviser to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, told Turkish radio station CRI TURK on Wednesday.

“…If they go a little further then our forces [wouldn’t care whether] there are American armors there…suddenly you happen to see there are a few missiles [that] hit them accidentally too,” he continued.

Cevik’s statements came after US troops were deployed to the Syrian border to prevent clashes between Turkish and Kurdish forces, after Turkish airstrikes hit two Kurdish-held areas in Syria and Iraq last month.

However, Cevik appeared to make a U-turn on Twitter on Wednesday, stating that Turkey “has never and will never hit its allies anywhere and that includes the US in Syria.”

He stated that Turkey will, however, hit “all terrorists” in Syria, adding that “no one should allow our US allies to become a shield for them.”

Both Turkey and the US have classified the PKK as a terrorist group. However, the two sides disagree on the classification of another Kurdish group, the People’s Protection Units (YPG). Although Ankara considers the YPG to be terrorists, the US is cooperating alongside them in the fight against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).

“The YPG, and you know who’s supporting them, is attacking us with mortars. But we will make those places their grave, there is no stopping,” Erdogan said last month, referencing Washington’s support, as quoted by AP.

Instead of working with Syrian Kurds, who the US believes are the most powerful force against IS in Syria, Turkey is pressing Washington to let its army join its campaign for Raqqa.

“Let us, huge America, all these coalition powers and Turkey, let us join hands and turn Raqqa to Daesh’s [IS] grave,” Erdogan said last month…

      Seen on you tube last night, Cella Energy, a leader in
      hydrogen storage technology, headed by a former
      BP Exec, reports that Turkey has 72% of the world’s
      Boron supply. The Boron is used to make the hydrogen
      storage useful and economical. Cella is a spin off from
      a UK government sponsored lab of research scientists
      located near Oxford University. Being asked to speak
      at Oxford is an invitation to join the world’s elites, as
      reported by Alex Jones. He also stated that he had
      declined the offer to participate. This report by Cella
      at a 2013 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Trade Show event puts
      Turkey in a greater role of importance in converting
      the world to a sustainable recyclable emission free
      hydrogen energy economy!!
