As mentioned back on the 7th of August: There is NO Agreement on a US/Turkish “safe zone” in Syria despite the perception managing media claims. Reiterated on the 17th of August Turkey & U.S. Disagree On Safe Zone- Because There is NO Agreement.
What??? They disagree. Why, I thought there was an agreement in place??? Peace Corridor and other gibberish. That's what the 5/6 eyes media was reporting. Alt and msm.
We're starting the second week of September. Today. And still no agreement.
Erdogan says Turkey, US at odds over Syria safe zone.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan says Ankara and Washington do not see eye to eye regarding a planned “safe zone” in northern Syria, where an alliance of Kurdish and Arab militants opposed by Turkey enjoy the United States’ support in their alleged fight against terrorism.
“We are negotiating with the US for the safe zone, but we see at every step that what we want and what they have in mind is not the same thing,” Erdogan said. “It seems that our ally is looking for a safe zone for the terrorist organization, not for us. We reject such understanding.”
It's been long, long, long clear here at PFYT's that the US has planned for and in fact created a safe zone for PKK/YPG . Including a safe area where attacks on Turkey can be launched from.It's been going on in plain sight for so very long.
“If we don’t actually begin establishing a safe zone in the east of Euphrates with our own soldiers by the end of September, we will have no other option left but to follow our path. This is not something to be done with three or five helicopter flights, five or ten rounds of ground patrols, and ostensible presence of a few hundreds of soldiers in the region,” the Turkish president said.
Also interesting: Hayat Tahrir Al Sham denied Turkey establishing Observation Posts west of Idlib
A local source reported that HTS hindered establishing new observation posts in Idlib countryside.
HTS denied the Turkish Forces from establishing four military points in Ariha, Jisr Al shoughor, Mastouma south of Idlib, sources told Qasioun.
The group also threatened of attacking the posts in case of establishing them.
Earlier of last month, a Turkish military delegation made a reconnaissance visit to Idlib western countryside to study establishing new observation post
Last month? What happened last month?
" Addressing the attack on the convoy:Conflicting narratives abound. The claim originated with the opposition. The opposition posted images on social media. An unnamed Syrian official was quoted making statements. Long term readers should understand my problem with unnamed officials, always, but especially, in situation such as this. As well as social media imagery."
Then there was news that HTS collaborated with the US in their airstrikes, done to undermine the ceasefire.
Clearly HTS are not allied with Turkey- Despite the spin
