    Also from PKK/YPG point of view: ISIS is only a step to achieve the greater goal. As seen many times by YPG officially stopping its anti-ISIS operations, PKK/YPG considers TR as its essential enemy TR has given US lot of time & opportunities. TR is ready to risk full escalation

    The false assumption in US circles cames from the underestimating of the YPG threat towards Turkey‘s national security and the misleading idea of the possibility to mediate between TR and PKK/YPG YPG isn’t a domestic politics topic but a state issue of all Turkish institutions

    Many US-based analysts think that Turkish escalation is a test of how far Turkey can go. Even if this assumption is widely spread among US circles, it is a misinterpretation. Turkey isn’t testing, Turkey is warning the US to act. Turkey signals that its ready to escalate full

    Turkey opened today a new border gate directly to the Afrin region. The border gate is called ‚Olive Branch‘, borders Hamam village west of Jinderes and is aimed to improve economy in Afrin and enable a faster supply route of humanitarian and reconstruction aids to Afrin.

    Many have interpreted recent footage by HTS Special Forces as an internal message to group members, but it has also a message to other factions in Idlib. After Nureddin Zengi received Turkish weapons and ammunition, HTS feels more and more threatened

    Basically main factor which made YPG ‚different‘ and ‚effective‘ was the PKK factor. PKK veterans played a crucial role since the first day. In this regard, the YPG is quite similar to former Al Nusra Front except for the fact that Nusra cut its ties to AQ central but YPG hasn’t

    Major figures from Qandil like Bahoz Erdal & Sahin Jilo were the main actors behind the establishment of YPG. High cadres of the PKK invested a lot in YPG with active support of the USA Reward decleration is funny as US’ partners have excellent knowledge about the whereavouts

    V. The criticism of the PKK is very important and underlines how rightful the Turkish position is. The US has actively cooperated with the PKK since years. PKK veterans played also a crucial role in Raqqa and Tabqah and in the leadership of YPG.
