Cleaning the north of the terrorist elements in Syria and Turkey in order to accommodate the refugees to safe zones to be created is preparing for a possible operation.
The region is under the control of the terrorist organization. The region is controlled by the PYD / PKK and the SDF.
Turkey, raises the safe zone proposal in 2012. However, both former US President Barack Obama and his successor, Donald Trump, have not been warm.
Finally, during the summer months with Turkey has carried out negotiations on the establishment of safe areas in the United States. The joint security mechanism envisaged the withdrawal of the heavy weapons of the terrorist organization SDG, the withdrawal of the SDG from the border, and the joint patrol of the US and Turkish troops. Therefore, Trump's objection to Turkey's retracting operations into the eastern Euphrates, opening the way for a direct military intervention in pointing to important policy changes in this regard.
SOME CONGRESS MEMBERS AGAINST TRUMP
While some members of Congress reacted strongly to Trump's decision, analysts say Trump, who has gone through a difficult period due to his dismissal investigation, has made a move towards domestic politics. In the United States, names close to the Trump administration argue that this decision is not a policy change, but rather a step consistent with the country's Middle East policy.
Why did the TRUMP make such a decision?
In a statement following Trump's telephone conversation with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, two points came to the fore especially. The first US was Turkey's statements that it would participate in the operation. The statement, "Turkey, soon a long time to northern Syria to start operations as planned. US Armed Forces, to support this operation and will not be a part of it and check the soil in the 'Caliphate' proclaimed who defeated Daesan US forces, this operation in locations will not be "said. Thus, the US Euphrates to the east, Turkey to withdraw its troops in the operation arrangement of anticipated and expressed in unambiguous language will be included in the operation.
The second emphasis was on the US struggle against ISIS.
Stating that ISIS was defeated by the White House; France, Germany and other European countries in the north of Syria did not want to take back the militants, he said. The statement, "US, take too long and for a process that is likely to bring a huge cost to taxpayers to keep these people in hand. Turkey will be responsible for the final in this area within two years captured Daesan militants," he said.
Trump said on Monday from his Twitter account that the United States "defeated ISIS 100 percent", but said that continental countries do not want to take back ISIS militants, especially from Europe.
US President Trump, "The Kurds fought us but they did not receive the support money and equipment to do so. For decades they fight with Turkey. But I tried to delay throughout this war nearly 3 years now for us, many tribes struggle with endless home our retreat and soldiers from the ridiculous war time to bring, "he said.
HEAVY CRITICISM FOR TRUMP
Trump's decision was criticized not only by dissidents in the United States, but also by some names close to him. Washington sources say this policy change was due to Trump and was taken despite the defense and foreign policy bureaucracy. Some people close to the Trump administration argue that this decision is in line with the struggle against ISIS and the Syrian strategy.
Fox News, known for its closeness to Trump, wrote that this decision created shock waves in Washington. Speaking to Fox News, US officials said the Defense Department was "completely unprepared". The report said that this decision was seen by some officials as "betrayal" to the Kurds who were with the US in the fight against ISIS.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the most important supporters of Trump's foreign policy, said he was trying to arrange a meeting with Foreign Minister Mike Pompeo on the issue.
Graham said that if the decision was reflected in the press, he was "doomed to disaster" and said that if the plan was implemented, they would issue a decision in the Senate asking for the decision to be canceled. Graham then attended a live broadcast on the Fox television, stating that the President's statement that the right of the Daesan defeated if Turkey's entry to the deterioration of relations with Syria passed Congress. Graham, "if Turkey never set foot in Syria, I will do everything in my power to impose sanctions on the military and the economy," he said.
Nikki Haley, former US ambassador to the United States, one of Trump's first appointments, who recently resigned, was also critical of the decision.
Haley, #turkeyısnotourfriend (Turkey Our friend is not) in shares Twitter messages with the label, "If we want to watch our backs every time we need to support our allies. The Kurds played a key role in our successful fight against Daesan in Syria. A big mistake to leave them to die" said.
WASHINGTON CREATED AMAZING
BBC Turkish question the US-based think-tank of the responses analyst bipartisan Policy working in the Center's national security program, a Turkey expert Nicholas Danforth, the statement made by the bewilderment caused by Washington's decision-makers in the United States said it revealed the disorder.
Nicholas Danforth, "The shock of this statement in Washington is actually an indication of how corrupt the process of US policy making. This decision reveals the end of the US policy on Syria," he said. Danforth said Trump had in fact wanted to withdraw US troops in Syria for more than a year, and that the US would need a new strategy on ISIS thereafter.
According to a recent report by the Pentagon, the number of ISIS militants and family members currently living in camps in northern Syria is around 45,000. The report said that up to 10,000 militants were arrested.
Turkey raised about the number of members of a terrorist detained in Daesan in Syria says it is exaggerated.
According to James Carafano, Vice President of national security and foreign policy at Heritage Foundation, a think tank close to Trump, this decision is a step in line with the US strategy to combat both the Middle East and ISIS.
"I don't see this decision as a change in US policy. The US policy is to create a stable region in the fight against the (Syrian) regime. And this decision says that the Turkish government would make it into the safe zone, to protect its borders and to allow the resettlement of refugees. if things are implemented, in line with US policy, "he said.
Carafano, "I think Trump's most important election promise, in accordance with the interests of US troops, where necessary, will stay as long as necessary, and voters expect it to do so. Now the withdrawal of troops from Syria is a step in accordance with this promise," he said.
This region with Turkey's intervention in Daesan the elements and become a space not received logistical support Carafano stating that according to US policies, the Turkish government should not keep his promise would be kept in case of reviewing whether the US also is the state's compliance with its own policies, he said .
In the evening, Trump tweeted other tweets. In this message, US President, Turkey's "drawn frame exceeded" if thinking, "the Turkish economy, I've done this before, I would totally razed to the ground, and I blew it. terrorist organization which is caught up with Europe and the other must take care Daesan members and their families. USA, Daesan ' seized the entire territory controlled by, he did more than expected, "he said.
WHAT IS TRUMP GOING WITH THIS DECISION?
Trump's move is seen as a step towards domestic politics at a time when he was going through a difficult period due to his dismissal investigation. The President of the United States said on Twitter that the United States will enter the war only in favor of its own interests and to win.
According to Selim Sazak, who continues his PhD studies at Brown University and is also the Research Director of the Ankara-based TUM Strategy, President Trump is not the US policy makers who have actually changed attitudes due to changing circumstances.
"One of Trump's election promises was to end the existing wars in the Middle East and to direct America's energy first to China and then to Iran. Therefore, Trump and Erdoğan he wanted the same thing from the beginning.
Sazak said that it was the US security bureaucracy who had attached his hands to Trump's plans to withdraw from Syria, and that was among the reasons why former Defense Minister Jim Mattis resigned.
The presidential elections in the United States are approaching and the President's job is getting harder because of the investigation into the dismissal process initiated in Congress, Sazak said, "There was no significant success in other promises such as the trade war with China and the construction of a wall on the Mexican border. Trump is now ' I will bring and I brought, America's money for the American people will spend 'he will talk for months and needs something like this. Moreover, trade wars or immigration policy contrary to this, high visibility, but a success of citizens without a daily effect, "he said.
The US has around 2,000 soldiers in Syria as part of the fight against ISIS. A significant portion of these soldiers are located in areas under the control of the SDG, the US's most important military ally. The US also has six air bases in the north of Syria, again under the control of the Kurds, and the radar base in Haseke.
