At least one person was killed and 32 others wounded, Reyhanli’s mayor Hussein Sanverdi told Turkish media.

The governor of Hatay Province, where Reyhanli is located, said 37 people were injured in the missile attacks, T24 News reported. Of those, four are reportedly seriously wounded.

Speaking to the Turkish channel NTV, Sanverdi said: “One Syrian lost his life. We have 32 injuries. Two are seriously injured,” according to Hurriyet.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu condemned the attack on Twitter. "I condemn in the strongest terms the indiscriminate rocket fire by PYD/YPG terrorists that killed one Syrian refugee and wounded 32 Turkish citizens in Reyhanli. This attack on innocent people shows the real face of PYD terrorists."

Photos emerged online apparently showing the aftermath of the missile attack. One man was pictured covered in blood while lying on the ground, while numerous photos of damaged vehicles were also posted to social media.

Four cars as well as business and residential properties were reportedly damaged in the attack. Police have been deployed to the area.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has turned on Ankara’s allies, insinuating that the US in particular has been providing massive military support to Kurdish YPG in Syria.

In a speech to his ruling AK Party Erdogan said that ‘some allies’ of Turkey had provided the YPG Syrian Kurdish militia with 2,000 planeloads and 5,000 truckloads of weapons.

“Now, apart from 5,000 trucks, there are weapons and ammunition from around 2,000 planes.” the Turkish leader said. He also accused Ankara’s allies of dishonesty when they say that they do not provide weapons for “terrorists,” referring to Kurdish-linked YPG forces.


The president also vowed to hand over Afrin to its “real owners,” explaining that he aims to return 3.5 million refugees back to Syria from Turkey as soon as possible.

This weekend, Turkey began operation ‘Olive Branch’ against Kurdish forces in Afrin, deploying jets and land forces.

Turkey sees the YPG as being closely linked to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) – whom the government considers terrorists.The United States is backing the YPG in Syria, seeing it as an effective partner in the fight against Islamic State.

However, the US stressed on Saturday that they are not supporting the PKK.“We recognize Turkey’s security concerns about the PKK, a US-designated foreign terrorist organization,” Adrian Rankine-Galloway, the Pentagon’s spokesman said in a statement sent to the Anadolu Agency.

There is nothing to be gained from carrying out the bidding of the US in Syria, and right now Turkey and the Kurds alike are learning this the hard way, independent political analyst Dan Glazebrook told RT.

Turkey officially launched a military operation against Kurdish-held enclaves in Syria called operation ‘Olive Branch’ on Saturday, comprising airstrikes and a ground offensive.

Ankara maintains that UN Security Council Resolutions 1624, 2170, and 2178 allow it to conduct operations against terrorists in Syria while preserving the territorial integrity of its neighbor.

RT discussed Turkey’s move and what provoked it with several analysts.

Dan Glazebrook, independent political analyst, said it is difficult to tell how the situation will evolve further in the Syria’s Afrin region, “but so far, Erdogan has been true to his words.”

“I have to admit, I initially suspected perhaps there would be some cross-border shelling, but they would not go as far as airstrikes or a ground invasion. And I was proved wrong,” Glazebrook told RT.

“It does look like Erdogan is determined to go all the way. And it really does highlight the dangers of the Anglo-American strategy in Syria for the last seven years, which has been to basically turn Syria into a complete free-for-all: all the states in the region to sponsor their own proxy militias and get involved and carry out airstrikes – Israel, Turkey, the US, anyone else. It is a really dangerous situation,” he said.

Last week, the US announced its plans to create a new armed force with the Kurds close to the Turkish border. After Turkey reacted with outrage to US plans, the Pentagon said it was not creating “a new ‘army’ or conventional ‘border guard’ force.”

Glazebrook noted it is amazing that the US in the past week has managed to “completely betray both its rival allies in this conflict.”

“First, betrayal of Turkey – announcing this Border Security Force, made up primarily of Kurds, without any consultation with Turkey. And then, as soon as Turkey makes an issue of it, immediately drop the Kurds altogether, saying ‘we have nothing to do with them’ and basically give Turkey a free hand to slaughter them. Betrayals left, right and center,” he added.

“I hope that the rest of the world really is paying attention that there is absolutely nothing to be gained from offering yourself up to carry out the bidding of empire, as Turkey is learning a very hard way right now and so are the Kurds, actually,” Glazebrook pointed out.


‘Crisis between two traditional NATO allies US and Turkey’
Ali Rizk, expert on Middle Eastern affairs and contributor to Al-Monitor, told RT the Turkish offensive against the Syrian Kurds “is a very significant development, and where it might lead is unknown.”

Rizk said that this undoubtedly means a crisis between two traditional NATO allies, the US and Turkey.

“It is a problem for Turkey, but it is also a major dilemma for the US: it is very likely that they were not expecting Turkey to follow through on these threats,” Rizk explained.

Ever since the American remarks about a “border army” in Syria, Turkey has been threatening to take action. Rizk said he doesn’t think that these words were taken very seriously by Washington.

“At the same time, it is also something that the Syrian government would object to – the Syrian government considers this to be a violation of its sovereignty,” he continued.

According to Rizk, “the reactions could come from everywhere: we have the US-Turkish dispute, as a result of what is happening, at the same time you have a dispute between the Syrian government and Turkey because the Syrian government has expressed its categorical rejection for any such steps. This could lead even to a confrontation between Syria and Turkey. There are a lot of possible scenarios which do lead to escalation, and now that it’s begun I think it might be very difficult to seize control of the situation.”

阿夫林战火点燃5种表情：土发威，叙喊疼，俄看戏，美认怂，库尔德人吃哑巴亏

阿夫林战火点燃5种表情：土耳其发威，叙利亚喊疼，俄罗斯看戏，美国认怂，库尔德人吃哑巴亏？

文/古道君

埃尔多安对土耳其的未来看的很明白，库尔德人问题是其一个软肋，不解决这个问题，不光是蛋蛋被捏在那些大国手里，就是帝国的雄心，也始终只能藏在胯下。因而，1月14日以美为首的打击“伊斯兰国”联盟提出组建所谓的“边境安全部队”后，便立即反应激烈，声称要将其扼杀在摇篮里，紧接着不到一周的时间里，便衔着“橄榄枝”，通过飞机、坦克、大炮，将怒火倾泻到叙利亚阿夫林地区库尔德武装身上。由此可以看出，埃尔多安总统也有着俄罗斯普老大和美特首的气质，敢说敢做，冷静果断。尽管库尔德武装方面也有反击，向土边境城市发射了10余枚火箭弹，造成至少1人死亡、50余人受伤，但战局总体还是成一边倒态势，因为如果没有大国出面调停和支持，双方实力毕竟极为悬殊。

土耳其的炮声一响，叙利亚大声喊疼。叙外交部否认土方事先有过通报的说法，强烈谴责土对叙主权的“野蛮侵犯”，并呼吁国际社会予以制止。叙利亚就是一个“弱女子”，面对土的粗暴凌辱，各种滋味是极为复杂的，被打击的是自己的敌人库尔德武装，在一定程度上有共同来利益；无论谁赢谁输，只不过是“城头变幻大王旗”而已，对自己没什么大区别；无论是以色列还是土耳其的频频越境反恐行为，都无力捍卫自己的主权。古道君看来叙只有大声喊疼，越大声越好，为自己喊回一些尊严，也为未来赢取更多道义。

除了一开始对库尔德“边境安全部队”表示了一下抗议，在土耳其打响反抗的第一枪之后，俄罗斯便保持了沉默。何止是沉默，是为土的动武打开了方便之门。阿夫林地区的库尔德武装此前曾得到过俄方的援助，即使换了靠山之后也一直与俄方保持着较好的关系，此地也可以说是俄罗斯的势力范围。动武之前，1月18日土两位军方高官，陆军总司令卢西·阿卡尔和情报部长哈坎·菲丹曾飞到莫斯科进行“说服”。在俄撤出其300余名军事人员之后，土方就动手了。对俄罗斯来说，无论是叙利亚、土耳其还是库尔德人，都只不过是手中的筹码，尽管此次做出了一些“牺牲”，但由土出头抗美，无疑是最佳的选择，因为叙利亚没这个能力，伊朗、伊拉克又有诸多不便。

俄罗斯想要看到北约内讧、美土之间闹翻的大戏并没有出现。但事实证明，美对埃尔多安的“小性子”也没辙。事情是美自己挑起来的，的确触碰到了土耳其的“红线”。美土之间毕竟还是“盟友”，此次阿夫林战事乍起，双方其实都还留有余地，阿夫林是库尔德武装孤立于叙利亚西北地区的“飞地”，其得失还难于伤及根本，若如土方所威胁的，下一步还将进攻曼比季，那才会触及根本，但土目前只是一种警告。因而，面对土在阿夫林咄咄逼人的反应，美国务卿德勒森最新的表态是，承认土在反恐问题上“拥有合法权益”，对其行动“感到担忧”并呼吁其“保持克制”。

阿夫林重启战端，古道君看来真正吃哑巴亏的可能只有库尔德武装了。库尔德人有着千年的建国梦想，其在打击“伊斯兰国”的过程中不断成长，如今据有叙利亚将近四分之一的国土，傍这美这棵大树，建国梦想似乎触手可及。然而，欲速则不达，心急吃不了热豆腐，此次受挫，尽管人员损失不大，但铁定是要被赶出阿夫林地区的，这就是是步子迈得有点大的后果。走和平统一的道路，还是武力拒统的道路，这次重新摆到了叙利亚库尔德人的面前。（文/古道君）

[Taksama_b_l]

The one single big advantage Erdogan has over Kurds is Air Force and planes. Not tanks. Kurds can kill tanks and must also have some tanks. The other thing is HEAVY ARTILLERY. Don't mercy Kurds civilians. Let them be blasted to pieces and let Ang Moh cry their ass dry. Just fuck care and slaughter on. No body is helping Kurds except the lame USA. Gas them if Erdogan got gas.
