The Turks yesterday formally completed the operation in Nusaybin hung out the flags on what was left of the city.
Overall, the city left not very much. The formal end of fighting in Nusaybin does not mean the end of the war, she simply moved to other areas. The focus of the Turkish operation is moved to the Diyarbekir province, lice district, which introduced round-the-clock curfew and sent extra police and military units.
During the year the war in Turkish Kurdistan Turkish army and police had killed around 500 people.
The Turks claim that they killed about 5,000 Kurdish rebels, but there is a suspicion that this figure blamed and killed members of the PKK and the ordinary civilians, the death which at this scale fighting is inevitable, but the Turks hiding or seriously underestimated. Fighting in the mountains will obviously go over the years.
At the same time, Turkey had organized the attack on the Kurds and in Syria. As part of the beginning of the onset of the “green” attack “Al-Nusra” and her allied groups had not only to position SAA to the South of Khan-Fog, but for a quarter of the Kurdish Sheikh Maqsood, where according to various estimates, the Kurdish position was attacked from 2 to 3 thousand fighters, to 15 units of armored vehicles using multiple mortars, rocket launchers, etc. as a result, the Kurds were forced to hand over part of the controlled block.The Kurdish quarter, is a kind of pain that restricts the supply of militants in Aleppo, with its South shore areas controlled by Assad’s troops, from the North, East and West, it is surrounded by areas controlled by the “green”.
“Green” especially without understanding covered a quarter of the shells and mines, and then flooded into the attack. The Kurds ultimately failed and were forced to leave some positions, both sides lost tens of people killed, “green” has lost from 3 to 5 armored vehicles, killed according to various estimates from 40 to 120 civilians. The quarter, the Kurds have held, but controlled by the district has decreased.
Along the way, the other day it was announced about the creation of a “Kurdish rebel brigade which had to fight against Assad and the Kurds of the YPG.
We can assume that this is some kind of Turkish project designed to split the Kurds and by introducing confusion and vacillation in the Kurdish ranks to prevent the formation of a United front directed against the Kurds of Turkey.
However, those pesky troublesome the Kurds of course will survive, especially since things in Northern Syria are going pretty good. Coupled with slower progress towards raqqa, successfully developing U.S.-backed attack on Manbij, where the local population in rural areas meets the Kurdish people as liberators.
Women and children freed from slavery in the district of Manuja.
Residents met with Kurdish groups.
The airstrikes by U.S. forces in the Marais district.
Airstrikes videoconferencing to the North of Aleppo.
Overall, we continue to see Turkey in the context of the ongoing Syrian war and is trying to solve their problem with the Kurds. With one hand she reaches tactical or operational results, but in the long-term trend of Turkey is still unfavorable – killing Kurds in his and Syria Turkey however forced to watch as Kurdish-controlled territory in Northern Syria, is expanding, and not just the connivance and with the support of the United States.The attack on the Manbij leads to the fact that the Kurds will increase the controlled territory near the border with Turkey and close to located on the West of the Canton of Afrin. The destruction of Nusaybin and the loss of the Kurds in Aleppo, this is unlikely to stop, so Turkey will probably have to seek other methods to put a spoke in the wheel of the Syrian Kurds so that to stop their activity and definitively not to quarrel with the United States.
