Erdogan says Turkey hits back after Syrian shells kill Turkish troops

ANKARA/ISTANBUL - President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday Turkey will continue to retaliate after Syrian government shelling killed four of its troops and wounded nine in Syria’s northwest Idlib region, where Turkish forces have bulked up in recent days.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces, backed by Russian air power, have recently made advances in Idlib, prompting Turkey to warn it may launch a military operation there unless the fighting is halted. A Turkish security official told Reuters that the shelling which killed the soldiers occurred in the area of Saraqeb town, 15 km to the east of Idlib city.

Turkey, which already hosts 3.6 million refugees from Syria, fears a fresh wave of migrants from Idlib. It has 12 military observation posts around the region, set up under a 2017 agreement with Russia and Iran. Several of them have since been surrounded by advancing Syrian government forces.A spokesman for Erdogan’s AK Party said Turkey will view Syrian government forces around the observation posts in the region as “targets”.

All the muslim look terör organizations like pkk pyd and isis, el kaide, has been Created by usa and izrail to fınd an excuase to occupay muslim land. usa &izrail created corona virüs and atack china. Soon china will respond back

Terörist usa izrsil and deaş delıbretly create refugie proplems. Rusia and dictator esed too. we will have a lovly Fuck İng world.

Turkey's restrained and limited retaliation is a mark of its respect for Syria's people.

Inevitable. Turkey has isolated itself dangerously. What can/could happen next Israel will be watching.

Erdoğan knows that the end is near for Nato terrorists, after he signed a gas deal with Moscow, he's bulshiting the terrorists so that they don't turn against him. Because djihadists have a memory of a fly.

No metter.Everytime Türkiye will give necassary response .

With the current 3.5 million Syrian refugees in Turkey, don't let the trouble of additional refugees heading to Turkey.

Gun running, murdering or outright killing (WAR), should be banned globally. This is how some men make money. Ship them OUT !

Turkey is currently ruled by an idiot. Same as the USA.

So now they have to put up with Turkey in addition to Russian and what remains of the Syrian regime. Thank you Mr. Trump

Relations between Moscow and Ankara are very weak, even if they seem otherwise

Except it didnt like what media reported 😂

...or Damascus and Ankara.

Bullshit regime wanting to enter EU.

Hitler reborn....and the world is again watching protecting their own interests...till he knocks on their door!

With his geostrategic_choices Erdogan can't be regarded as an ally. Stuck inside his high-handed arrogance straitjacket he's inadequate for both the POTUS and the RussianPresident to have faith in him.

Reap what you sow buddy.Have you forgotten the Kurds?

Bloody terrorist will pay the price for all his crime

Liar they didn't do anything and they can't

This is fine
