Or there are various factions labeled “Kurds” in the area; those allied with the USA, ie. the “Syrian” Kurds will leave as agreed but the PKK will not. PKK groups are actually the target of the Turkish government, not the others. [PKK is on our government’s list of terrorist groups.]
Now will the media explain what is happening on the ground? My guess is that today we will probably hear Turkey’s agreement yesterday was deceitful despite the clear language in the announcements by VP Pense and the Turkish government to distinguish the factions in the agreement.
The President explained this in a press conference earlier in the week but it wasn’t broadcast except on Fox. Even Fox is not following through with it in their reporting.
I thought the PKK was mostly actually in Turkey, not the other Kurdish groups. Erdowan has been trying to reislamize Turkey after Attaturk had made it mostly a secular state for many decades. Erdowan has been getting electoral pushback and probably decided he needed a war to build up national support.
