Anyone who believes this, is content parroting Erdogan’s BS. If 🇹🇷 was genuinely interested in security guarantees, it could achieve this in under 1 day of talks with Salih Muslim

Instead, Erdogan is only interested in playing to the bleachers and war mongering-disgusting

This is what 🇹🇷 is doing in Syria

The mission for Erdogan is clear: hurt Kurds— for no other reason other than it plays well at home. He knows Kurds are not a threat. He doesn’t care. His lickspittles don’t care

Erdogan will work with & empower all jihadists to achieve this👇

🇹🇷 ignores this by hosting Daniella Cabello in Turkey to explore further "trade" opportunities (a.k.a narco trafficking) x.com/SekibAvdagic...
