O Presidente turco, Tayyip Erdogan, disse num discurso, em 5 de Fevereiro, ao Partido Islâmico do AKP que, se as tropas sírias ou os aviões russos atacarem a Al Qaeda, na província de Idlib, na Síria, a Turquia estará em guerra contra a Síria e contra a Rússia. Se isso acontecer, a Turquia, como membro da aliança da NATO, poderá convocar forças americanas e aliadas para se juntarem à guerra da Turquia contra a Síria e contra a Rússia, naquela parte da Síria.

Aqui está uma reportagem sobre este assunto, da Rede Voltaire da Síria:

A Turquia ameaça a Síria e indirectamente a Rússia

REDE VOLTAIRE | 6 DE FEVEREIRO DE 2020

Ao intervir, em 5 de Fevereiro de 2020, perante o grupo parlamentar do AKP, o Presidente turco, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, declarou: 

[Na versão original francesa da Rede Voltaire: Erdoğan a désigné sous l’expression « éléments amis » les membres des milices turkmènes formant l’« Armée nationale syrienne » (Jaych al-Watani as-Suri) et ceux d’Al-Qaeda ayant fait alliance avec des groupes locaux pour former l’Organisation de Libération du Levant (Hayat Tahrir al-Cham).]

“Todo e qualquer ataque, seja terrestre ou aéreo, contra as nossas tropas ou contra os elementos amigos com os quais trabalhamos, receberá uma resposta sem nenhum aviso, seja qual for a sua origem. Ninguém se pode opor a que exerçamos o nosso direito de fazê-lo, dada a incapacidade de garantir a segurança das nossas tropas em Idlib.”

A Turquia, cujo exército invadiu o norte da Síria, fez eliminar pelos “elementos amigos” quatro oficiais russos do FSB em Aleppo, em 1 de Fevereiro e envolveu-se num confronto mortal, em 2 e 3 de Fevereiro, com o exército sírio em Idleb. Recebeu o apoio dos Estados Unidos, em 4 de Fevereiro, dia em que o Presidente turco intensificou as provocações contra a Rússia, na Ucrânia.

O Presidente Erdoğan designa como “elementos amigos”, as milícias turquemenas ligadas aos Lobos Cinzentos e aos jihadistas da Al-Qaeda.

—

A organização Lobos Cinzentos da Turquia é fascista, nacionalista, da extrema-direita e xenófoba, defendendo uma Turquia que seja, apenas, por e para os turcos étnicos e expulsando todos os outros. Estão afiliadas a esse grupo, na Síria, as Brigadas Turcomanas da Síria. É uma organização etnicamente terrorista. A Al-Qaeda e sua afiliada síria al-Nusra ou Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, são organizações terroristas extremistas sunitas muçulmanas. Os Estados Unidos têm apoiado a Al-Qaeda na Síria, a fim de derrubar e substituir o governo secular da Síria por um governo fundamentalista-sunita; e, portanto, se a Turquia convidar os Estados Unidos de volta à Síria para defender a Al Qaeda, na Síria, e os fascistas aliados dos turcos, na Síria, os Estados Unidos estariam do lado da Al-Qaeda e também do lado dos fascistas turcos, na província de Idlib, na Síria, contra a Rússia e contra a Síria.

 A declaração de Erdogan, em 5 de Fevereiro também pode ser vista e ouvida num vídeo do TRT World da Turquia, intitulado "Erdogan adverte as forças do regime sírio para se retirarem das ocupações de Idlib”, que é acompanhado pela tradução em inglês, aqui:

ERIC ZUESSE -- Turkey Threatens Retaliation against Russia and Syria if they attack Al Qaeda in Syria’s Idlib Province

Turkey Threatens Retaliation against Russia and Syria if they attack Al Qaeda in Syria’s Idlib Province

Eric Zuesse

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said in a speech on February 5th to his AKP islamist Party, that if Syrian troops or Russian planes attack Al Qaeda in Syria’s Idlib Province, then Turkey will be at war against Syria and Russia. If that happens, then Turkey, as a member of the NATO alliance, could call in U.S. and allied forces to join Turkey’s war against Syria and against Russia, in that part of Syria.

Here is one news report of this, from Syria’s Voltairenet:

Turkey threatens Syria and indirectly Russia

VOLTAIRE NETWORK | 5 FEBRUARY 2020

Speaking on 5 February 2020 before members of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said:

[In Voltairenet’s original French version: Erdoğan a désigné sous l’expression « éléments amis » les membres des milices turkmènes formant l’« Armée nationale syrienne » (Jaych al-Watani as-Suri) et ceux d’Al-Qaeda ayant fait alliance avec des groupes locaux pour former l’Organisation de Libération du Levant (Hayat Tahrir al-Cham).]

“Any ground or air attack against our troops or the friendly elements with whom we work will be met with a response without any warning regardless of its origin. No one can object to our exercising our right to do so given the inability to guarantee the security of our troops in Idlib.”

Turkey, whose army invaded northern Syria, had four Russian FSB officers killed in Aleppo by “friendly elements” on 1 February and engaged in a deadly clash on 2 and 3 February with the Syrian army in Idlib. It received support from the United States on 4 February, the day the Turkish President revved up provocations against Russia in Ukraine.

President Erdoğan designates as "friendly elements" both the Turkmen militia linked to the Gray Wolves and the Al-Qaeda jihadists.

—

Turkey’s Grey Wolves organization is fascist, nationalist, far-right, and xenophobic, advocating a Turkey that is of, by, and for, only ethnic Turks, and expelling everyone else. Affiliated with it in Syria are the Syrian Turkman Brigades  It is an ethnically terrorist organization. Al-Qaeda, and its Syrian affiliate al-Nusra or Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, are an extremist Sunni Muslim terrorist organization. The United States has been backing Al-Qaeda in Syria so as to overthrow and replace Syria’s secular Government by a fundamentalist-Sunni government; and, therefore, if Turkey will be inviting America back into Syria to defend Al Qaeda in Syria and Turk-allied fascists in Syria, the United States would be on Al-Qaeda’s side and also on Turkish fascists’ side there, in Syria’s Idlib Province, against Russia and Syria.

Erdogan’s statement on February 5th can also be seen and heard in a video from Turkey’s TRT World, titled “Erdogan warns Syrian regime forces to withdraw from Idlib posts”  which is accompanied by English-language translation of it, here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqV4oG1Xr44&feature=emb_logo

The English-language translation says:

“During our phone call last night, I told Mr (Vladimir) Putin that the (Syrian) regime must withdraw to the limits of the Sochi agreement in Idlib, meaning behind our observation posts. Any ground or air assault on our soldiers or on the friendly elements we are working with [the Turkish fascists and the Sunni jihadists] will be avenged in kind regardless of its source. Since the safety of our soldiers in the Idlib region [which is Syrian territory] cannot be ensured, nobody can question us for exercising our right to do this [i.e., to seize permanently that province of Syria].”

The TRT video also says:

“The US also condemned the Syrian regime’s attacks on Idlib, and some US officials stated their support for Turkey. Secretary Pompeo [9:19 PM Feb 2020 .4]: “The U.S. stands by our @NATO Ally #Turkey in the aftermath of the mortar attack by Assad regime forces on Turkish observation posts. This is a grave escalation. The Assad regime, Russia, Iran, and Hizballah’s ruthless actions [trying to exterminate both Al Qaeda and the Turkish fascists in Syria’s Idlib Province] are preventing the establishment of a ceasefire.”

So: Erdogan made this statement on February 5th after having already received the U.S. assurance that America will go to war against Russia if Russia defends Syria’s troops who are trying to rid Syria’s Idlib Province of Al-Qaeda and of pro-Turkish fascists.
