Official Syrian Conflict Thread

Turkey moved tanks towards the Afrin border on Tuesday (Reuters)

Syria's main Kurdish party appealed on Wednesday to world powers to stop a threatened Turkish attack on the Afrin region in northern Syria, as the US reportedly said it had no ties with Kurdish forces in the enclave.

Ankara has warned in recent days of an imminent military operation in Afrin, one of three autonomous cantons under the control of Kurdish forces and their allies.

On Wednesday, Turkey said it will respond immediately to any threats from Western Syria that could harm the country or its citizens, according to the the National Security Council (MGK).

In a statement, the MGK said it would not allow the formation of a "terrorist army" along Turkish borders, after the U.S.-led coalition in northern Syria said it was working with the mainly Kurdish YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to set up a new 30,000-strong border force.

The MGK demanded that all weapons given to Kurdish fighters in Syria be collected without delay. It also advised the cabinet of ministers to extend the emergency rule imposed shortly after a 2016 coup attempt.

The appeal by the PYD in Afrin came hours after the US was reported as saying it had no involvement with Kurd authorities there, as they were not part of the US coalition's area of operations against the Islamic State (IS) group.

Adrian Rankine-Galloway, a US defence department spokesman, told Anadolu: "We don't consider them as part of our 'defeat ISIS' operations, which is what we are doing there and we do not support them. We are not involved with them at all."

Turkey was reported to have moved 10 tanks to the border near Afrin on Tuesday, and was moving additional forces towards the area.

In its statement, the PYD said Afrin "will not be alone" and that all of northern Syria would aid its defence.

This has nothing to do with Syria They are talking about war with America .

The problem is the Kurds are in Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and I think Jordan. They want to carve out their own country from all of those other countries. A lot of people predicted this would happen. The Kurds have been positioning themselves as the "good" Muslims for 10 years hoping to get support from the Western world. But we need help from the whole reason so we can't take sides.

EDIT: Iran not Jordan

It is the group they want to create that is causing Turkey to call for war .

“Turkey has warned the US it was “playing with fire” over plans to set up a 30,000-strong force to police its border with Syria, saying it had tanks ready at the frontier.”

"A country we call an ally is insisting on forming a terror army on our borders," he said of the US in a speech in Ankara. "What can that terror army target but Turkey? Our mission is to strangle it before it's even born.”


Syria has nothing to do with this . Isis aka Americas baby has also called for training troops for the border

The U.S. military is swiftly backtracking from plans to build a 30,000-person border force in Syria after the proposal triggered a new diplomatic showdown with Turkey.

After earlier heralding the idea as a pillar of the Trump administration’s new Syrian strategy, U.S. officials on Thursday said the plan was poorly conceived and won’t proceed

During a White House briefing early last month, the C.I.A. director, Mike Pompeo, recommended to President Trump that he shut down a four-year-old effort to arm and train Syrian rebels. The president swiftly ended the program.
