Erdogan threatens Turkey to send troops again, Syrian Kurdish armed forces say they will resolutely fight back

According to a report by the Russian Tass news agency on December 14, the Middle East Al Mayadeen TV station said on Friday that the commander of the Syrian opposition armed forces "Syrian Democratic Forces" (SDF), Mazlum Kobani, announced that if the Turkish army invaded Syria In the northeastern region, the "Syrian Democratic Force" will fight back. He said that the Kurdish fighters who constitute the backbone of the "Syrian Democratic Force" are "ready to defend the territory under their control". Kobane’s statement was the first response after the Syrian Kurdish leadership threatened Turkish President Erdogan. On Wednesday, the Turkish president announced that the Turkish side will begin a military operation on the east side of the Euphrates River to combat Kurdish forces. The Turkish army has previously carried out two military operations in Syria, namely the "Shield of the Euphrates River" and the "Olive Branch Action". After the end of the operation, Turkey established a buffer zone between the border cities of Azaz and Jelablus, and the Aflin region where the Kurds lived was also occupied. About 27% of Syria’s territory is currently under the control of the “Democratic Force of Syria”. Earlier, the Kurdish armed forces, with the support of the US-led Western Alliance Air Force, liberated most of the provinces of Hasakah and Raqqa from the “Islamic State” extremist organization. In the east of the province of Deir ez-Zor (420 km from Damascus), the Kurdish armed forces are violently attacking the city of Harkin, one of the last strongholds of the “Islamic State” extremist organization. The commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Kobane, said that Kurdish armed forces are fighting 5,000 militants, many of whom are foreign mercenaries. Kobane believes that the leader of the "Islamic State" extremist organization Abu Bakr al-Daq (Abu Bakr al) -Baghdadi) may be hiding in the eastern part of Syria, but there is no exact news. Kobane stressed that under the situation that the Turkish army is about to attack, the "Syrian Democratic Force" will stop the actions of the "Islamic State" extremists and rise up to defend the cities and villages under its control. He made it clear that the Arab militia, as part of the "Democratic forces in Syria", could not stand alone for the task of defeating the "Islamic State" extremists.
