as a result of what of the turkish assault on the area but an area of course of syria is the larger swathe of syria that remains out of the control of assad forces for the moment so and indeed real questions being asked about kurdish security as well as concern about those that they have in detention primarily i saw fighters and their families. well that was always one of the biggest concerns in the biggest warnings that the syrian kurds had to give to the international community there are some 2000 isel fighters being held in detention centers in syrian controlled parts of kurdish controlled parts of syria the syrian kurds have said that look if we are forced to go to the front lines it might not be as easy for us to main secure to maintain security around those prisons they have saying that in fact warm prison near commish lee was hit by turkish mortars they said that center is holding some

60 arsenal fighters and we also know that donald trump in the white house have said that 2 particularly high high profile eisel fighters british citizens wanted in connection with the murder of western hostages they have been moved to u.s. security and it's understood that they're actually under u.s. guard but in iraq those 2 characters would be of interest of the iraqi or or far it is because they fought for i saw in mosul so iraq would be interested in know that they might be here but yes the big concern is the fear of what is going to happen to those isel prisoners under syrian under syrian kurdish guards so but it's with a correspondent thank you. well it's a close look at what the syrian democratic forces are well also known as the s d f it's an alliance of kurdish and arab militias operating in northeastern syria it was instrumental in driving out eyes solo for the past 4 years with the help of

airstrikes by a u.s. led coalition but turkey considers the kurdish alliance a terrorist group why well it says its main fighting force is the people's protection units or why p.g. turkey views the white p.g. as an extension of the banned kurdistan workers party which has fought for kurdish autonomy in turkey for 3 decades. the us president has also once again defended his decision to withdraw american troops from syria he rejected the idea that washington abandoned its kurdish allies saying that the kurds have not always supported america now the kurds are fighting for their land just so you understand they're fighting for their land and as somebody wrote in a very very powerful article today they didn't help us in the 2nd world war they didn't help us with no normandy as an example they mention names of different battles they were there but they're there to help us with their land and that's

a different thing in addition to that we we have spent tremendous amounts of money . on helping the kurds in terms of ammunition in terms of weapons in terms of money in terms of pay with all of that being said we like the kurds we're also in jordan has more from washington d.c. . the u.s. president donald trump has been criticized over the past few days because of the accusations that he essentially gave the turkish government permission to go ahead and attack the kurdish forces in northeastern syria it's something which trump has denied on wednesday he even underscored that point by saying that there would be represented here due to report back in straight to ankara where the turkish president is talking to the senior party officials now about the. operational littleness or to double shift code all these threats were. it were not successful

and also we are trying to stop the threats or at its source only in 4 years within our borders. 7500 and outside our borders 856-2000 there is neutralized. terror organizations and their central establishment. and where they where and and we locked them within. iraq. where the corridor or the terror corridor or that they are trying to establish at our border we will stop them with the olive branch operation and with russia and iran are corporation and a stana process. also we have prevented

a future monetary in crisis again in the east of affray to so with the help of god and our army services we have started this as the we have started the peace spring operation. my dear friend. the other operations that we have carried out before the peeve of spring operation is also to ensure the territorial security of syria syria. one in 4 of the syrian land is under control of the k.k. was under control a p k k. it's clear that you cannot talk about a sovereignty of territorial security of this country. the people who don't see the

invasion of p.k. k. not. they cannot see through this and they criticize our status that we take for the territorial integrity of syria. they are. against isis the struggle against isis has had the same struggle like us. they are only for us exported i says to syria to syria isis came. from germany from netherlands. and we'll. neutralize but we have sent 5000 isis members back to where they come from these are not words in the here that are

not honest. because they are only talking for they talk the talk we know the walk this is the difference. now our struggle against our fight against try says and why p.g. and p.k. k. we are continuing our files with or all our honor and we will continue doing. so. also this is going to be helpful for the future planning of syria. there are tens of different powers. in syria and our operation that is only targeting to stop terror organizations we do not accept the criticisms for this i'm not going to count one by one of the but exam countries which are i want to say some of the names of the countries. because tradition i i might them

to be honest. questions 1st of all i would like to start at saudi arabia. saudi arabia should look in the mirror. human. who put yemen in the situation room. in yemen look at yemen at the moment what's going on in yemen. thousands of thousands of people are dying in yemen. saudi arabia you have to talk about this past year for cause and at the moment in yemen. in dire situation and he ruined yemen you have to be accountable serious. so now you can stand out and. you can criticize our operation you can't

criticize steps taken against her organization you cannot talk to us about this you can't talk. here mostly. college was also egypt you can't talk at all. because of all. she has. you are the murder of democracy in your country. use. it as we have. yes you have. all but he caused most is death he was elected by people. in a democratic election and. you didn't allow this there didn't even allow his family to put him in his burial this is the kind of murderer you are.

so this is really not the. c.c. has meetings with some people know and also condemned this operation. that has no importance. was obvious to. you know muslims those people we are not we are not we are confident in ourselves we have no disbelieve in ourselves so we will continue this way. and this syrian public specially people. especially people who are around our borders they were always asking us when are you coming when are you coming there were always asking. of course regime and inconsistency of the regime made our job difficult of course but if it if it was a regime 89 years ago maybe it would be a lot easier today but unfortunately. now.

now. you cannot discuss our love for the people of syria but our problem is with the people who are. there organizations like you i'd be ok and i think terror organizations who are trying to invade syria we have no problem with our kurdish brothers and sisters in syria the only problem we have is with the terror organizations. they are trying to digress they're trying to change it. we have no problem with our kurdish brothers in the region we are fighting against terror organizations all over the world maybe turkey is the only legitimate power in the land of area.

we have. 3.6000000 syrian refugees in our country waiting to go back to their countries e.u. the european union should get back to yourselves i repeat. at the moment our operation you. cannot define it as a an invasion. oddo believe it we can open revolt and find 6000000 refugees we will send it back to you. now they are counting the money what are they saying the 2nd payment is that they're not going to send $3000000.00 euro. you have never kept your

promises anyway. we could. we don't take our steps by taking anything from you we have spent $50000000000.00 we could spend as much once again and we will continue parts we will open the doors we would open the doors. you have to know this. you thought you were never sincere to us from. from 1963 you have been playing with us he was saying we'll get you a letter any you are not going to let you know if you are not a you're not honest we will never tell you. your lives are based on lies and then after that you attack. you can attack as much as you wants we are consuming. on our route on our and.

my dear friends my dear brothers and sisters. you know any other country has any problem as such. so all the other developments in syria they close their eyes but when it comes to criticizing turkey it becomes a habit and i invite them to be honorable and conscious they cannot. raise any boys against the real invalid and there again legitimate steps to keep our borders secure. turkey is not. turkey has got the strength to take its rights. really. of course. we didn't come to this point i reasoned

out in 2011 when the syria crisis started even before that. the problem of the country. we worked for a democratic solution that. that protect the rights of. of every denomination of this country and we spoke to assad many times about regime church forcefulness rather than democratic ways 1000000 people. was killed by best a sudden in syria they were his own people this is the cultural issues a man we face thing he killed his own people and still. we're talking who is going to come instead of him being there are people there are leaders who are asking these questions what it isis which comes. with

a. view of the praying i think this then i can't say anything to that but the what the syrian people want. if you want democracy what is democracy. is respect in which the so many of the people this is the middle is that if the syrian people are. human. and syrian people are not so interesting. to bring isis to power. 12000000 syrians left their. homeland which will look old and some of them had to go to other countries in our country at the moment there is approximately 4000000 syrians and we have been how in and for in the last years you . really 160000 of them have been moved.

that we have liberated and the rest 6 the remaining 2600000 are spread in our eighty's one of the cities and without any shame. today use this turn we are against. sure so don't be so shameless. at the moment from kabbani there is a 100000 kurds coming to our country and they are our guests in our country they live in our country. let's talk about this 1st they are here in our country why don't we talk about this. united states they want to see this year in union one see they say so what are we going to explain to.

the polish of course of. our own words out of course there is a group in our parliament who are. backing the terror and i wish that we will show them one way or another. and. your question. is with. about 3000000 syrian. we are going to give all the help them to live in their own lives we have spent $40000000.00 so far we have showed our humanitarian stand to the world we have proved. so which country had. come on that they can come out and they are jealous of us. again i says he can say that we had we gave the same struggle we fought as much as turkey but we have.

some other european countries and some arab countries that are criticizing us how many syrians did they give refuge to. i am expecting answers to these questions in. the areas that are under control of. terror organizations no one wants to see this because they think. our allies who are supporting the terror organizations we have expressed our discomfort about this will have been telling them from the very beginning i want to tell this as well as struggle of zionist do you know what's under under the. lies of our. terror operate operation against terror organizations

our main aim is to prevent a terrorist state established. near our border we cannot allow this. we can't say yes to this. because there are going to be further steps about this but i don't even want to go that route. mollison many many many look a very long time after this the steps that we were expecting were not taking and there were tactics to make us wait longer than that but turkey is a part of a. loyal partner. of course you can't compare us to an organization that has been used with money. i'd like to speak to america 1st we are turkey.

and we are a member of nato. the 5th article you know very well. this sterilization. she's going to when they attack a nato member can look you constantly silent to this you have no right to be silenced if you are a member of nato and among nato members. start to accuse and turkey is one of the main countries who always carries out its responsibilities and pays is these days it's these turkeys of this country and you. exchange turkey you're going to you're not going to exchange darkie with some. dirty little terror organizations we're not going to allow this.

i told him we have to do what's needed whoever this law. so. so. we say good trust god. keep on your way and continue this is. so we have been very patient till the end we fought. but as i said before we had to take it in our own hands there was no any other way. of course peace spring operation so all came about like this and yesterday at about. 4 pm the predator targets

were captured by our air force and our. land forces also captured predetermine target and about 10 pm. land forces our ground forces were operating of course all our. units are now working on it and it is our operations continue in intel up yet. because after my speech i will have to leave. the meeting will continue. but of course the defense minister will give very detailed information. since the start of the operation to disappoint the 10909 terrorists have been neutralized the supporters of terror organizations are working to do. propaganda and this and

misinformation spread misinformation. there are some who surrendered. and operations are continuing. and they made up the story in a place that we started in operation they said we have launched a rocket. a christian area. systems. of the rockets. this is a black propaganda machine we will take all the steps that. we are going to share the truth with all the international community or even their leader. christian

leaders which here are from the area even though they have made statements and they have expressed their trust with us. the cross border attacks all the terror organizations to our country. they have injured civilians. they have. got to be faced with the national army they are just attacking our civilians they have no shame. from their major organizations they show children you are the murderers of children you attack women bill you are the murders of women. we are a type of nation that. we would never attack the ones have no. have no chance of the tandon themselves like women and children

we would never raise our hands this is. hiram forrest this is against our belief and afaik about hopefully these. and their heads will be crushed so you do not worry. but for the peace of our syrian brothers and sisters for the peace of our kurdish drugs and assistance we will do this operation. work this out our work is continuing on other areas that we launched operation with we are going to show the power of. our previous operations whatever we'll turn our previous operations we're going to do the same wherever we go we bring security and peace. may god give success.

may god. keep us safe from all the enemies. and peace spring operation was supported by. by piracy and so i would like to. thank them and all the. civil organizations. journalists sportsman and artists and all the citizens i would like to thank on behalf of my nation. this terror organization. but that. the support of the terror organization i would like to talk to. this part say the parliament you can't show me and our national forces

as in they invaded the invaders if there is in se asia and this is. this is your terrain you don't only invade places where you are. in power or in the region channels. and you opened the opened south to interrogate people this is how low you are. out. of because now you lost. now if you don't have these places in turkey of course you open in tunnels in digging tunnels syria we are going. we are not going to be able to do this in syria to now. now. with all this both cause the biggest thank you. on

a nation that supports our operation. with the help of god and the support of our nation. our country will succeed. but by different. peacekeeping operation. after making sure that the area is species is going to ensure that the people. make sure that people will go back to their homes the democracy. foundation all the region. that was attacked by the terror organization will be established wrist oblation by us again. there is 1000000 people in this in the region that they are there holding out there are they lost their homes i'd like to

emphasize again our plan is to go back to their own home the logical. or up if to i would like to be clear clear so arabs are going to go back to their homes the kurds will go back to their homes turkmens will go back to their homes assyrians will go back to their homes and that all the other ethnic and religious groups will go back to their homes we are trying to ensure this. and by this way we are going to. have vents at the demographic of the generation in all of the region because the people who can't go back because there is no home for them to stay stay home we are going to build accommodation police people this is our plan these accommodations. we were planning

we are planning to build this with the support the financial support of the international community so we could build them and you future. turkey has no interest in anybody's land or anybody his property. and turkey. and turkey and syria's national army has no interest in anybody's land as turkey. we would like to ensure the people in the region i would like to guarantee the state. so with this or that reason the people who were forced to join the y p g i'd like to say to them. even if your kurdish your arabic or any other at the minorities of the. now living why p.g.d.

franzl and. and take action to prevent any attack to your own villages and your homes we will open arms to you. my dear friends. in this operation. we don't want to harm civilians at all we cannot accept this solved of course only only. on it are getting the ones who are attacking us who are using arms so none of our syrian brothers and sisters should be worried. we have chosen this name as peace praying this isn't a random choice. we would like to clean the area from terror organizations and we would like to establish real people along that border line along the border

let this border is full of springs. and this is how we were inspired that's why we hold it. we're not on our in the in this operation we are together. syrian. and many of the liberal organizations and tribes also are supporting our operation and they gave statements. and we are hearing news that there are loads of areas where. there is there is a pricing against these terror organizations. so hopefully we are going to get rid of all the dark clouds over syria that has been there in the last 8 years.
