Turkey has no right to invade Syria under the pretext of fighting ‘terrorists’

TURKEY has no right to invade Syria in pursuit of “terrorists” or to threaten Damascus if it fails to clear Afrin province of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG).
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s regime has been up to its neck in dirty deals with terrorists ever since, alongside Saudi Arabia and Qatar, assisting jihadist fighters to invade Syria with the goal of overthrowing President Bashar al-Assad.
Erdogan allowed Islamic State (Isis) to use Turkish territory for recruitment and training camps, hospitals and other facilities, allowing Isis fighters to cross freely into Syria.
