part of the principle of the indivisibility of euro atlantic security it is not enough to say we understand turkey's concerns we don't want to see the solidarity very clearly. it should go to because just turkey is battling for territory held by its enemy the kurdish led syrian democratic forces ankara says the offensive will secure turkey's border and create a safe zone for syrian refugees. civilians who once fled the so-called islamic state are again desperately seeking safety as yet another humanitarian crisis looms in syria and many fear the same extremist fighters they defeated and captured will be set loose to terrorize the region. in the turkish town of chuck close to the syrian border welcome you know what's happening. well i'm about 5

a graveyard for terrorists but then there are also people who are afraid some people told us many have actually left town and we spoke to one family who said you know in our apartment building there are 16 families who live there and all of them have left except for us so fear and the general sense of insecurity is also part of the atmosphere here right now. well you know text officials the government and they are very unhappy with the even reactions of international partners the nato the european union who have ovoid criticism and urged turkey to show restraint here but they are saying and this was the touch foreign minister today who said he expects more solidarity and support from the partners because from a technical point of view this operation is essentially an operation to defend

turkey's national security against for taki for terrorist citizens a very real terrorism threat well kurdish officials. well this is coming from a spokesperson of the kurdish forces there was also a video that was showing how security kurdish security forces were chasing some i says family members in one of the largest camp called a whole camp that houses about 70000 ice is family members wives and children all vices of fighting as and now the crowds have mentioned this before and they have been warning about this they said you know if we are busy defending.
