Turkey launches air and ground assault on US-backed Kurds in Syria - Business Insider
'Turkey launched a massive air and ground campaign against US-backed Kurds in Syria's Afrin province on Saturday, which its military has code-named operation "Olive Branch," according to state-run Anadolu Agency. '
'Turkish warplanes struck Kurdish observation posts and many other targets, Anadolu reported, while its ground forces launched at least 15 rounds of artillery. '
'Instead, the US called on Turkey to focus on the fight against ISIS. Ankara accuses Washington of using one terrorist group to fight another in Syria. '
'The YPG released statements on Saturday saying they "harbor no hostile intent towards Turkey," and asked Ankara to "halt its unjustified threats."'
'There were alsoĆ reports of Turkish tanks rolling into Afrin, and the YPG claimed they repelled ground invasions near Rajo and villages in the Bilbil district. '

Fuck those YPG terrorist scums, enough is enough. Many turkish citizens were killed by them. Mr. Erdorgan is right about striking them down.
