    Turkey is indicating it will carry out demographic re-engineering in areas it captures: overwhelming majority of refugees in Turkey are Arabs, while areas ceased would be majority Kurdish. "Resettlement" in an area of conflict is also illegal under int'l law (non-refoulement).https://twitter.com/joshua_landis/status/1159822604477378562 …

        "Demographic re-engineering" is when you force people out and never allow them to return to their homes like Israel. Kurds are NOT being kicked out of anywhere. Syria belongs to Syrians. Syrian Arabs and Syrian Kurds are free to live where ever they want IN SYRIA

        I did not know that North Syria is Kurdish populated! +Turkey has more Arab Syrians than all people living in YPG areas. Those people in Turkey are from North Syria and they have a right to go back to their homes.

        Those refugees are not from 'North Syria', they are from all *over* Syria, that's just the usual BS Turkey puts out, to try moral high ground for invasion and ethnic cleansing. Together with the talk of 'terrorist corridors'..despite having been perfectly fine when was IS there

        So you rather Arab Syrians be out of Syria than relocate IN SYRIA? Just because they're Arabs? They were living side by side with your Kurdish friends. Why are Arab Syrians not worthy of living in those areas? Kurds were always welcome in Arab dominated areas

        This is a comical lie. The Syrian state has mistreated Kurds severely. Including trying to force demographic change on those regions. Ethnic cleansing is a serious crime under international law, and you're trying to justify it.

        Yes I can, I know what happened in Afrin. You don't seem familiar with the term "ethnic cleansing" nor the attempts by past Baathist governments to force demographic change on Kurdish regions in Syria.

        This is the issue of sovereignty of Syrian state. Nobody changed the demography of Afrin. Kurds are still outnumbered even some of them fled cowardly. Syrians can go to any city they want in their country. You have no business here. Go back home Yankee.

        You are a liar. Turkish troops and their FSA allies expelled many Kurds and filled their homes with Arabs. It's well documented. Your racism disgusts me, and that's the only thing here that's cowardly.

        How is this any different than the campaign that wiped out thousands of Kurdish villages in the late 80’s early 90’s in Northern Kurdistan that was deemed a war crime? Why aren’t you more concerned and alarmed?

        You make it appear as if everywhere east of the Euphrates is "majority Kurdish". You are an Israeli operator, cultivating Kurds to suit Israel's goal of dissecting Syria. You knowingly lied in a recent piece, mentioning a Aboud Dandashi 3 times, claiming he is a Syrian contact.
