What is specifically in question in Syria is the Kurdish areas of Syria became self-governing through the civil war, and the Turks claim they have ties to the armed Kurdish organizations that exist in Turkiye. Realpolitik they're just grabbing territory and resources, dams, oil, etc. but its justified through the lense of protecting Turkiye from the PKK who are supposedly supported by the Kurds in Syria and Iraq
i mean they do support the PKK to some extent, who knows if they can afford to arm/supply them or anything. but the conflict between the PKK and the Turkish government springs from the decades-long attempted ethnic cleansing of the Kurdish minority in Turkiye, the PKK were justified.
So really, this rat bastard and Turkey’s main goals since the very onset of the Syrian Civil War has centered around the destruction of the Syrian state?
destruction, turning Syria or a portion of it into a puppet, whatever benefits Turkish firms, really
