Why Turkey is invading Syria

- … and how it’s getting what it wanted.
On Oct. 9, 2019, Turkey launched an attack in northeastern Syria. Turkey made the move shortly after the US announced it would remove some of its troops from the region.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had his eyes on the region for years. Turkey, he argued, needed a “safe zone” to serve as a buffer against the Syrian War happening just across the border. Yet back home in Turkey, there were other factors at play that accelerated his calls for an invasion that involved Erdoğan’s own political survival.
The move has recalibrated alliances in the Syrian War and added new uncertainty on the future of the region.

Hi everyone! We wanted to share some of our sources for critical points in the video:
For figures on Syrian refugees in neighboring countries, we used official numbers provided by the United Nations Commissioner for Refugees. You can find that information here: data2.unhcr.org/en/situations/syria
UNCHR has tracked this official count since the start of Syria’s civil war and there are indeed still many that are unaccounted for.
For map data, you can go to: www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/effects-us-withdrawal-syria
Just a note: To understand the total impact of refugees in the countries of the region, it is important to add Iraqi (including the IDPs) and Palestinian refugees to picture with the population and GDP per capita of the regions and countries that accepted them. (I am writing this to demostrate that in contrast to the claims of Turkey, actually Lebanon, Jordan and Iraqi Kurdistan have sacrificed more to accommodate refugees in the region.)
You guys are doing great, I have been wondering why turkey invaded Syria and this video answered my questions perfectly!
Thank you very much !
U can't Mossad the Assad!
@@srnrn141 Everybody knows this, Syrians just ended up in Turkey for geographical reasons. Erdogan got bribed to keep them, and he gets lots of other perks to boot. Nobody believes his BS lies and the most of the rest of the world (and believe me, a *LOT* of Turks) absolutely despise him.
Sebastian Elytron Turkey is sheltering 3.6 million refugees. You can’t underestimate this. If Turkey didn’t want to take them, borders could be closed like what EU did. Why you are not behave fairly to Turkey? This is demonization.

but they're not defending their border??? they're attacking syria across the border????

Why do I get the feeling that this is not the whole story.
Because it's too much information for a 10 minute video
You trust Vox to give you the whole story?
It's a summarised version, that doesnt cover the main aspect of the conflict much due to time. Ethnic identity, and the historical implications of that identity. The division of the Middle East after the fall of the Ottoman empire, that split the Kurds into many different areas. The fact that Kurdish nationalism is high because they were threatened and managed to hold IS off. That if the PKK instills an uprising with the support of Syrian Kurds, Turkey risks losing territory. But who do you fit that history in a short 10min video? It's always good to do research after documentaries, they cannot fit everything in. Research on the Kurds, their diaspora and what the PKK has done in turkey previously. Research on the Turkish governement, popularity ect. I love Vox because they summarise and their content is always well presented. But as with most journalistic sources,its worth learning more.
@@nituraa8147 you love Vox cause you're a leftie lol

Vice documentaries are also good, until they post leftie keyboard warrior mini docs. All in moderation
Could it be to protect the safety of its 90 million people?, there is an authority vacuum in Syria and they have to protect the Turks against the American servant Kurds.

@@shinzoowallace4244 do you really think that turkey needs civilians as a shield ? They have one of the most effective military forces in the world. As a matter of fact, when Syrian regime bombed Turkish patrol last year, Turkey only needed to use their armed drones to answer back. If Russia didn't intervened, Turkey could have easily invaded the whole Syria. So, they actually do not need any kind of shielding effect from civilians, and if they needed, why would they host 3.6 million Syrian refugees in their country ? It is actually funny of you to compare the military forces of both countries :)
@@vadimpanin1551bombayı ruslar attı
Military forces of Turkey entered Syria to clean the terrorists from there. turkey does not want an agression on its borders. However the agressions were already affecting the borders of Turkey with Syria. Turkey does not invade the lands of Syria. The safe zone serves to create the the stable place on the borders of Turkey with Syria. If the purpose of Turkey is to invade Syria, Turkey would have done it in a very short period. Turkey has the power. But what Turkey is doing in Syria is to clean its borders from the terrorists to create the actual safe zone. Turkey does not invade Syria.

Every Kurd don't support YPG/PKK. PKK is designated as a terrorist group and YPG doesn't ever deny its relation with PKK. Those terrorist groups killed more than 10.000 thousand civilians in Turkey. I don't even count soldiers, police and, etc. And EU and USA supported Turkey in Syrian operations because of those terrorist groups.If the YPG had denied its ties to the PKK, Türkiye would not have started the operation.

Turkey offered Europe to take half of refuges and there will be no Operation.
All of Europe: Imma pretend like i didnt see that offer
Well duh, it wasn't a reasonable or believably honest offer. Never negotiate with terrorists
The conflict is not about refugees it's about who controls Syrian territory as it is geopolitically a strategic piece of land. Refugees are just an excuse to send troops.
It was less of an offer and more of a blackmail. More like "do not interfere or I will let the refugees come to Europe". Of course even the fact that Europe is so afraid of doing its humanitarian duties that Turkey can use it as a negotiation card is embarrassing enough.

Did you say that there is no problem when you declare war on Iraq?
Turks are not invading
They're aiding Syria
Idk I don't normally trust American Sites to cover these stories, they almost always dont include themselves in the problem equation
In this case, they did.
I don't trust like that.
Harnesh Khaira. I tottally agree with you. This video is not objective
the idea is that NATO is the only fence hemming-in russo-chinese expansionism , so they're stability (resources, oil) and 'happiness' is the bar to reach and maintain. pretty bad that east wants to take over west etc. but it's the way this hateful little lifeform, humans, is ...

You are missing really important points in your analysis. First, PKK is not a separatist group, it is a terrorist organization that killed thousands of civilians as well as soldiers in different parts of Turkey since 1984. They are recognized as terrorists not only by Turkey, but also by the US and the EU. Second, SDF is not a joint organization formed by Kurdish and non-Kurdish militias. It is just a rebranding of an armed Kurdish group called YPG, as admitted by US officials before.
Turkey attack brutally makes them refugees. But they all refuge to Turkey? There are weird things going on the news :D
:)
Refugees just want refuge, they'll go anywhere less violent than the place they're fleeing from. Turkey also happens to be the fastest way into the EU which is where many are trying to go.
@@remembertotakeshowerspleas355 Lol, so hilarious. So why are they still here . They should go somewhere else.... But they are still here.
@@nisan2586 Because immigration is not a magical process where you instantly and seamlessly teleport from area to the next. If you were to ask the average Syrian refugee in Turkey if they are where they want to be the answer most would give is no, if you were to ask them if they would rather be in Europe the answer most would give is yes. Turkey just happens to be the closest and most accepting country for many Syrian migrants but that does mean everyone who flees there does so because they have any affection for Turkey or that are happy with Turkey's military intervention in Syria.
@Ottoman Empire Don’t flatter yourself, in this century, you were never even a player!
Atleast tell everyone that American forces moved out of Syria to come back home in Saudi Arabia.
Actually they didnt they just relocated instead of patroling cities us forces now just patrols around oil refineries

You people are weird? You are not even here in middleast why you care? Plz care more about you countery
Because globalization, yes you should care about the internal state and conflict of the region you live, but also the world dosnt revolve around one's empty skull, international influence is an important factor, everything is connected and thus affected by and towards one another. Cultural, economics, politics, religion, etc. Why do you think interventions, expedition, missions of peace and support lines are establish?

@@yourtrappedinmygenjutsu US sponsored Taliban and ISIS. US Airplanes was transfering opium all across afghanistan, helping Taliban's business rise. Then, when Taliban became anti-american. US lost all the money from transfering the opium. ISIS was a project of US and Saudi to defend their interests, they were recruiting armed people with islamist ideology. And that mistake led to US and Saudi losing all their money they were investing into ISIS. After that, US have became "anti-terrorist" and have started to "free" arabia from terrorists. But not many people know, that these terrorists was actually an american project.

Very Accurate
From the very first moment I saw the name of this video, I was all sure it's going to be put exactly like this in the video.
It’s pretty funny how you leave out all the proper reasons turkey is doing it and how they are acting way better than America and Israel not that I agree with turkey but it’s just hilarious how the Kurds are angels like when you said turkey claims the SDF is related to the PKK it’s not a claim if the leader of the SDF is the adopted son of the leader of the PKK just hilarious reporting
well said
I like how they put the "Terrorist Kurds" as just "Kurds" and seem it like Turkey attacking kurds for no reason 😂
this is just villainizing turkey here and making it seem like pkk isnt a terrorist organization themselves.
@@oyungogdfrust4136 then turkey should've gone and attacked the PKK, not the SDF in another country .....
@@zumabbar they're literally related.
I'm not a Erdogan friend myself by any means, but it's often forgotten (or rather ignored) that this intervention was authorized by the turkish parliament, with even the social democrats (HDF) voting for it. Turkey has taken in more refugees than the entire EU with Syrians in Istanbul being well over 100,000 people. Any country would protect it's borders. All of that has to be put in consideration when dicussing the turkish military advance

@@quinoline3865 Yeah, that's false. You're thinking of CNN.
Someone didn't watch the whole video.
So many mislead information. First, sdf didn't come up from ground, it's main force is ypg, which Syrian branch of pkk. Besides, mazlum kobane, commander of sdf is a long time pkk member and high ranking officer.
You haven't mention turkey having meetings with ypg back in 2015, Salih Müslim visiting Ankara many times. Turks offered cutting ties with pkk and offered help. Ypg didn't agreed. So turkeys first action was to support Syrian Kurds, they choosed to side with USA and pkk.
Also, i never saw your video mentioning ypg mortar strikes into Turkish towns. Even long before these operations.
Plus, turkey never agreed 5 km zone. Instead first plan was 45 km but Trump convinced it should be no more than 30 km. This 5 km was usa telling turkey ok we started patrols, soon ypg will leave these areas and you get your corridor. But ypg didn't agreed that plan and told USA they will never leave. So turkey stopped 5km patrols and decided after a year and half nobody is caring about turkeys security concerns, so operation started.
There is a lot more you haven't mentioned since you have a political opinion on this, but readers who read this far would get the idea.

Still do not understand what is happening there...
Why you didnt say anything about SDF's attacks to Turkish civilians during the operation they killed 26 Turkish civilians including 4 childeren and 1 baby?
Efe Kaplan
During the TURKISH op. first of all. SDF didn't stepinto the other side of the border in anyway that can e possible so it must have been done because the turkish military was in that area and they perhaps used a missile. Also it could be a lie becaus usually turkish media loves to make big deals out of nonsense. And most importantly, turkey used chemical weapons against civilians. Not even talking about the robbery and the displacements of the kurdish pop. And the religious minorities. Try to watch medias different than your local ones so you can see the whole picture.
@@kurdishcaptionsteam5377 Oh my god, Turkey doesn't even have chemical weapons. and you keep saying perhaps and you don't have an exact idea just keep saying "Perhaps,must have been done,can" It is true that Turkey media loves lying but the media we are seeing in this video are also lying. You probably don't know but the terrorist group called "sdf" carries PKK and Ocalan(he was leader the leader of PKK once) flags so they are just two sides of the same coin. "SDF" is "PKK,YPG" and they were attacking Turkey's border cities such as Kilis and Nusaybin, many people died in those cities because of bullets and missiles sent from that "SDF" group.
Ugurcan Basoglu SDF never attacked to Turkey. Turkish authorities actually proposed to send missiles within Rojava so that can be a reason for Turkey to invade Rojava and ethnically cleanse it.
Nurullah Hergül I think you should make a comparison of cities after American operation and Turkish operation you can easilly see how Turkish army is careful and sensitive during operation. And american site you cant even call that demolisged buildings as a city
Kurdish Captions Team are you kidding me? Do you say they didnt do any attack to Turkish borders? We lost 26 civilians (4 child and 1 baby) before and during the operation. Do you think thats just a media exaggeration?
Sdf: we are aligned with pkk
Vox: according to turkey that is

@@orcofnbu He is a symbol for freedom among Kurds and founder of the idea of democratic confederalism. Either way, that does not mean YPG/SDF is aligned with PKK.
Also, "the Turk 2750", Kurdish? Your username says it all, lol.
@@orcofnbu He remains a symbol of freedom nonetheless, and having his picture around does not mean SDF is aligned to PKK.
Ataturk was a horrendus leader that destroyed any chance of including Kurds in the new nation he created and carried out massacres. Crossing a line, much like Hitler, still you see his name and picture all across Turkey and with all major parties in Turkey. Does not mean they are aligned, other than that they wish the best for Turkey, does it? Much like how all Kurdish parties wish the best for Kurdistan.
The biggest mistake the SDF did was coming together with the PKK, since they are Iran backed militias, they gave Turkey a reason to invade it... and of course another reason was the Kurdish parties in north iraq, they allied with turkey instead the SDF...
