It has become clear that Turkey does not hide its complaints about countries' support for what it considers terrorist organizations, as Turkish officials said that their country's army needs only a few days to be ready for a ground incursion into northern Syria, and that the matter is related to a political decision.
While the Turkish forces continue to bomb sites of armed Kurdish factions in northern Syria, Moscow - which, together with Washington, has strong reservations about the operation - said that it is communicating with Ankara to discuss this matter, which is a response that does not amount to anger or rejection, but some may interpret it as a kind of understanding of the position. Ankara.
On the other hand, the co-chair of what is known as the Defense Office in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, Bayan al-Ali, said that the response will be harsh if the Turkish attacks continue.
Al-Ali called on the two guarantors of the cease-fire - the United States and Russia - to define a clear position on these attacks, and for the international community to assume its responsibilities towards the Autonomous Administration and what is known as the "Syrian Democratic Forces," as she put it.
Put an end to terrorism
According to official Turkish statements, Ankara will launch its military operation in the near future, as the Turkish president announced that all aspects were taken into account, including the expected response in the region by other countries.
According to Tariq Oguzel, Dean of the Faculty of Political Science at Aydın University in Istanbul, Turkey is keen to put an end to "terrorist acts" coming from the northern border, and that Erdogan is determined to start the process regardless of his country's relations with international powers such as Washington and Moscow.
However, Ambassador Andrei Baklanov and Vice-President of the Association of Russian Diplomats said that Moscow stands against the planned Turkish operation in northern Syria, and is upset that Ankara is taking advantage of Russia's preoccupation with the war with Ukraine, as well as the US preoccupation with crises with Russia and China, to enable it - that is, Turkey - to control the A large area of Syrian territory under the pretext of fighting terrorism.
As for the American position, the chief researcher on US national security issues, Alan Makovsky, said that Washington does not support Turkey's launch of a military operation in Syrian territory, because that would distract attention from the fight against the Islamic State, which still has a presence in Syria, as Washington fears. The Turkish military intervention in Syria will lead to more instability in this country.
