Turkish-backed forces have taken full control of the centre of the Syrian-Kurdish city of Afrin.
Fighters waved flags and tore down the statue of a legendary Kurdish figure after claiming the city centre on Sunday.
The two-month Turkish-led operation aimed to rid the border region of a Kurdish militia that Turkey considers a terrorist group.

Al Jazzera is a little more specific with this: Turkish forces and Free Syrian Army capture Afrin city
Pretty much the US policy code for Islamic Terrorist Foreign Fighters.
Interesting the wholesale civilian slaughter with these guys in there with the Terrorist Turks.
Seems tho only way out is the corridors the Russians set up, and we hear nothing about in the news.
The Kurds should have taken the deal, now everybody dies.
They’re going into Iraq after PKK next
Wholesale onslaught against our Kurdish allies
Short sighted US strategy to use the Kurds vs ISIS without considering the long term consequences of creating a vacuum and who would fill it
Yet again
A travesty that America allowed the Turks to do this without a hard ultimatum that it would result in the immediate expulsion of Turkey from NATO (or the American withdrawal from NATO if the weaklings wouldn’t back the US). America and Canada have no business being allied with an islamic dictatorship. Turkey in NATO goes far beyond temporary support for a group of combatants in the middle east.
What will happen is that the USA will not stand by its allies and the world will then know that it does not pay to be an American ally. In contrast they will look at how Putin saved Assad’s bacon.
Turkey needs a severe ass-kicking. That is all.
Disgusting.
Repulsive.
Turkey, Pakistan, pro-Hillary EU are America’s allies.
a miserly action in spite of the tough stance. Concerns that the doveish hawks are not worried about the Kurds is bleeding into the oval office. A non sensical statement, I know, but it parlays into the inaction from military leaders on behalf of the Kurds
Yes. Sir.
Criminal as in Genocide.
Genocide is the word.
Where is Soros’ Human Rights Watch on this?
Samantha Powers?

More ISIS shit being transported into Kurdish Afrin city by by Turkish military buses. History rewinds itself; another genocide is cooking by Erdogan.

So, life was worse and would have been worse under Bashir Al-Assad
Right?
Half Time, Change Sides!
Maybe if you're Muslim Brotherhood.
US is not going to change sides to support ISIS. Turkey has always supported ISIS.
Dozens of looters killed in Afrin (on 1st day of the invasion)

There is not enough coverage of this by the “Media”.
There is nothing but lies coming out of Turkey. 100% Pure Propaganda.
That’s what Tillerson says.
