  • President Tayyip Erdogan warned on Wednesday that Turkey had the power and ability to "crush" all terrorists in Syria, including Islamic State and Kurdish militants, while urging all countries to "take their hands off" Syria.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has declared that Turkey has the capability to "crush all terrorists" in northern Syria, particularly targeting the Kurdish YPG militia, which Turkey considers a terrorist organization. This statement comes amidst ongoing tensions and military operations in the region, where Turkey has been conducting airstrikes and ground operations against Kurdish forces. Erdogan's comments were made in response to recent attacks on Turkish military bases in northern Syria, which he attributed to the YPG. He emphasized Turkey's determination to secure its borders and protect its national security, hinting at potential further military actions if necessary. This rhetoric underscores the continuing conflict between Turkey and Kurdish groups, which has implications for regional stability and international relations, particularly with NATO allies who have differing views on the YPG.
