The relations exposed by Turkey's operations

With the operations into Syria that it launched 6 years ago, Türkiye has, whatever anyone says, opened the way in the region to a solution with beneficial results for the entire world. Türkiye was always pointing to and demanding this path to a solution. But it could never get the support it wanted on this. Until, as this solution was postponed, the real great cost, falling on Türkiye and of course the Syrian people, reached an unbearable and unpayable point.

By carrying out three major operations one after another, Türkiye, with its own hand and alone, opened up inside Syria the path to a solution that it had tried from the beginning to get the international community to accept.

Meanwhile, every operation of Türkiye against the terrorism that has entrenched itself inside Syria and is receiving international support, indeed every objection, also serves to expose all the scandalously dirty relations on which the international order rests. That this terror is the PKK-PYD or DAESH does not change this fact, and because of the relations the operations bring to light, no one is giving up their dirty intentions. In return, Türkiye's steps are badly spoiling somebody's games.

The safe zone that Türkiye has advocated from the beginning creating inside Syria would, on the one hand, have narrowed the regime's room for maneuver, and on the other would have met the waves of migration heading to Türkiye inside Syria itself. Thus Syrians would not have had to go elsewhere and would not have abandoned their own homeland to the murderer Assad and the occupying appetites of his patrons.

Türkiye's demand to create a safe zone inside Syria was in fact the shortest, most logical, most realistic and most humane path that reason pointed to. When I say humane, of course, I am speaking of the possible humane solution before a people that had been subjected to inhuman treatment. Those who, instead of supporting Türkiye on this reasonable, realistic, humane proposal, made endless excuses, also made unimaginable criticisms and objections when Türkiye acted on its own.

Yet thanks to this solution that Türkiye has in fact implemented, at least 5 million more Syrians were prevented from going to Türkiye and from there to Europe.

From whatever angle you look, Europe should owe Türkiye a great debt of thanks for these operations alone.

Instead of paying this debt of thanks, Europeans tend to see and portray Türkiye's operations as interference in Syria's internal affairs and to take a front against Türkiye almost on the side of the murderer Assad.

The support that many EU countries give to the PKK-PYD inside Syria is plain, and they cannot give any reasonable explanation for it.

They speak of Türkiye's changing Syria's demographic structure through its operations. As if they themselves were very devoted to Syria's demographic structure. As if the regions where Assad and the PKK-PYD are entrenched were very suited to their own demography. If they had even a little sense or notion of reality, would they not turn around and take a look at which demography is the product of so many people taking refuge in Türkiye or Europe?

THE PARTNERSHIP OF REFUGEE OPPONENTS IN TÜRKİYE

WITH THE ENEMIES OF TÜRKİYE

Meanwhile, if the opposition, which today thinks that Syrians are Türkiye's most important problem and propagandizes in this direction, had a speck of sincerity, it would see and appreciate that with this practice Türkiye has in fact cut off the path of more Syrian refugees. Yet the only thing these people, who have no share of humanity left, see in the Syrian is nothing other than the capital of their own disgusting, dirty-racist politics. This political ambition, which can think of sowing nothing as political investment other than hatred, racism, ignorance and blind rage, can, from whichever angle you look, reap nothing but disaster, mercilessness and lack of understanding for itself and for the country.

Does the fact that these circles are also reacting, in addition to the reactions of some Europeans to Türkiye's operations, whose reasons are well known, not give a sufficient idea of what kind of picture we are facing?

The partnership of those who see the issue of Syrian refugees as one of the government's greatest weaknesses and try to hit this point immoderately and leaving no human value unspent is itself a subject worth dwelling on.

WHEN YOU SEND THEM BACK, WILL YOU HAVE THE DRUMS YOU TALK ABOUT BEATEN BY ASSAD'S SHABBIHA?

Do they really want a solution, or are they trying to beat Türkiye in any case? They are trying to hit Türkiye, which for years followed the most humane policy on refugees without taking a step back, from the side where it is strongest lately. Xenophobia and racism would be the last diseases to infect this nation.

Moreover, Türkiye has never been in a state of carelessness or negligence on the refugee issue, as the racists claim. The operations were precisely among the most effective measures in this direction, but it was seen that the opponents of refugees opposed the operations too.

Likewise, Türkiye is at this moment building inside Syria cities to which at least 1 million Syrians can safely return to their homes, but Kılıçdaroğlu, who has turned opposition to refugees into an obsession, strongly objected even to this on the very day this project was announced by President Erdoğan. Why? Did you not want a solution? Did you not want to send the Syrians back? Can there be a better, more humane way of sending them back than this? What kind of way of sending them do you have in mind? Instead of this humane way, did you want to hand them over to the vile executioners of the murderer Assad? When you send them, were the drums you speak of going to be beaten by Assad's shabbiha?
