Former U.S. ambassador to Turkey says Trump is exaggerating the country's influence on Syria

[@automatoncollectives7237]

Turkey will have major influence. Turkey will have the biggest leverage in what’s happening, and will happen, in Syria for the foreseeable future.

[@ozgurkaya493]

CBT news. Not Turkey. TÜRKİYE🇹🇷

[@stevinharper3551]

Well HTS has at least some level of Turkish support they now control most of Syria so I would say it is possible Turkey could be a huge influence in Syria

[@realinv3ntor]

SDF in Syria are in a hard place now because they overplayed their hands with too much emotion and ambition without seeing the realities. Now all they need to do to live in peace and prosperity is these: 1- Listen to the local people where they are now, bring them services, 2- Dialogue with other factions, especially Damascus, 3- Send foreign ISIS fighters to where they come from within a plan with that countries. They have to deal with their convicts, this is not Syrians' burden, 4- Remove all non-Syrians and the persons that are identified as international terrorists from their ranks, 5- Disband YPG, 6- Oil is for all Syria, so every Syrian should benefit from it, 7- Give up dreams of autonomy or independence, it will bring more harm to themselves and to other people. Instead, they should contribute politically in all Syria to fend the rights of not only Kurds but all as equal citizens, to make new laws and enforce them within the context of terror-free, sovereign, democratic, lawful one Syria integrated with the world. People of Syria had enough, this is the only way.

He says they want Turkey to be able to defend themselves against terrorists but then he adds that the 900 US soldiers are there to advise and help the Kurdish forces who are the terrorists that Turkey has been dealing with for many years. But still both Turkey and the Kurds listen to whatever the US says.

So you’re telling me that Israel didn’t overthrow Assad government and it was Türkiye? That tells you Iran weakened the Israeli force more than expected.

In 2012, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was then prime minister of Turkey, vowed that "soon we will pray in the city of Damascus with our brothers," he said referring to the fall of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship. "He no longer has a future in Syria," he added. now 2024 is a reality

Trump doesn’t say that turkey controls all the groups, he says Turkey holds the key to the syrias future. If Trump said that Israel holds the feature of Syria, CBS will cheer that up.

[@delibaba_1923]

So you admit that you given authority Kurds (they are not officially recognized anyone and not even have an official autonomy in Syria) to control ISIS members but not give that role to Turkey who has been long term partner of NATO and USA and suffered ISIS bomb attacks for years... Turkiye asked this role for a decade almost and every time USA refused it and chosen kurds to do this job to use them against Syria, Turkiye and Iran. As they know each of these countries has large population of kurds in their own land. Given Kurds an autonomy in Syria will weaken those countries so USA will deal with them easily. A classic 'Divide and rule tactic' that been used for decades all around the world by USA. He says ISIS is dangerous for the world not for just Syria which is true. But if you believe in this why do you take your soldiers from that area and leave this issue to Kurds that they never managed to get a country in the history? Thought USA went there to stop ISIS and save the world like superman, spiderman... No you only went there for your own interest. The Reality is he is annoyed with Trump' as he is taking USA soldiers from there... thats why he is crying....

Did he seriously say no one else had said it? It’s been the consensus in Europe from everyone since the start. How does he get away with this nonsense, regurgitating the knowledge of others and claiming it for himself. We all know he can’t even find Turkey on a map, never mind Syria

Turkey still denies their genocide of Armenians

[@mrbilginc]

How about genocide against Turks by Armenians. How about genocides in ww1 in Balkans against Turks? Besides, Turkish Republic was established in 1923, not 1915! Turks will never accept it, get over with it! If not, it is war! And history should teach you, not a good idea to fight against Turks. Think again before trolling!

[@erantosman]

for your information and check for yourselves , the armenians lived all over Turkey peacefully and was intised by the French and armed by them to commit genocide towards turks when the turks were busy defending their lands against the european powers , Turks expelled them to wards the east of the country where the Kurds seeking opertunity as they have recently again in Syrias hard times exterminated them to take over , just as they have done to others in Iraq and Syria , read up on it where ever you want friends and foes

[@mrbilginc]

Correct me if Im wrong but Turkey is very much against the Kurds which it sounds like the US is supporting and I agree with that BUT if Turkey is going to be involved in Syria then this would not bode well for the Kurds I would have thought?

[@dsaddfgs1186]

kurds are minority there ruling majority arab population by force with the help of america in eastern syria . they will have to get out of region eventually .

[@allienmecaca]

you're wrong. turks are not against kurds. nearly 20% of turkey's population are kurds. turkey is against a "western made kurdish state" next to their borders that would serve only to american/israeli interests as a disposable manpower and would bring nothing but problems to turkey's future sovereignty.
