k which is not only a terrorist organization in the eye of tricky but also in the eye of nato and also united states and turkey has been very clear from the very beginning of this operation that p.k. k. does not represent kurdish people actually terroristic it is the one who has been oppressing kurdish people we have 400000 kurdish people in our country right now who flush the russians of p.k. k. and they are they want to go back to their country but they cannot because terrorist p k k is there oppressing them being a threat to them ok the us inspired cease fire expires in the hall 45 minutes from now the new arrangement kicks in at 12 noon tomorrow is it a new do you or is it an extension of the ceasefire and how will everyone involved in the in it build on it while it was it was a post in the operation of creation peace bring after united states understood the urgency of and the right legitimate right of turkey to to defend its borders to what i think what is really important we should be understand is that turkey had to legitimate 2 to objectives from the very beginning of this

k. is a terrorist organization list of the sites in europe in the united states and elsewhere it's really an irony of history for the united states to pick up a marxist leninist terrorist organization as an hour ok i hear some you're going to come out with or you know in some state officials from the pentagon or other places saying that mr cowan you're a someone saying go in there and i still as well as western allies i always thought that went when they say they refer to turkey. yeah ok well let me let me ask you this we'll talk about iceland refugees some points that you raised but 1st speaking of donald trump so he's just tweeted in the past hour or so that he's ready to litter right the turkish economy if you're a country does anything off limits in quotes in syria what's your reaction to that and what do you understand off limits to be. just so the treaty act wisely our president has a lot of wisdom and is the requires constructive rather than destructive approach we've been very responsible turkey has done more than any other country for the syrian people over the last 7 years and f

k y p g and terrorists in northern syria mission is to prevent the creation of a terror corridor all across our southern border and to bring peace to the area from the arrest the lane from here i can see turkish fighter jets flying behind my back i just got an urgent message that the eastern part of the town of commish lee was attacked the 3 meter shells launched by took a short of full and here near us locals are very concerned about what's happening it's quite possible that civilians will start. leaving this area it is expected that thousands or maybe even hundreds of thousands of civilians may flee so the operation by turkey has indeed begun but no concrete action is being taken by the international coalition or syrian democratic forces. the video shows thousands of locals fleeing the area following the launch of the turkish operation syrian democratic forces say that 5 civilians have been killed in the offensive earlier it also accused ankara of deliberately targeting civilian areas. operation pace sprinkle was announced earlier in the wake up to the u.s. pulled out of syria

k. a terrorist organization according to turkey u.s. and the e.u. but so far we have seen statements from both sides as the deadline continues to take down we're hearing from kurdish fighters saying that they would believe only if they're given guarantees this is in contrast to what they said earlier that they will abide by the such agreement we've heard on twitter from the lead off their military wing general muslims saying that he will he will he will need assurances before his fighters can leave these areas according to russia and in the last few days we've heard from moscow 'd warning these kurdish fighters that if you do not leave then turkey will come in according to this agreement right along with the forces off russia and will be patrolling this 10 kilometer region deep into syrian territory there's also another interesting aspect of this with the american forces now we've also heard from the russian defense ministry saying that it is incumbent upon the americans to remove not just the weapons but also the fighters that they had given to kur

k. kurdish terrorists. and as far as the turks are concerned. they the united states on using terrorists for their objectives against potentially going stucky. this was in that sense inevitable and the way to settle the problem i see is was not to use the reich e.g. against them but to settle the problem where it started in syria and iraq. i might add now of course how much how to the turks with thoughts of course the wipe e.g. themselves the turkish kurdish militia will retreat back beyond this once 20 mile exclusion zone into the area where the american troops might say can i just ask you very quickly. how critical is russia's role in all of this well i mean russia i think are probably rubbing their hands together they all the patrons of. iran's or the patients. they will they are so. heavily influenced by the way the russians behave. i said himself will begin in wonderful about this because because i'm sure that in any future settlement they the kurds would have to gain some mistletoe in the boards not as i would have bothered about so yeah.

k. a terrorist organization so we're in a situation where we've brought turkey into nato in which they have completely different interests at any given time in the united states and then president trump is being blamed for leaving the syrian kurds high and dry but yet they're no longer serving our interests in the region so it gets so complicated that goes beyond the sort of heroism that you're speaking of and world war 2 are creating these alliances to bring peace to the the world jim let me ask you should our allies. be worried about the solvency of their relationship with united states right now you know and the reason for that is what's changed with trump and the reality is not much for the united states is a global power with global interests responsibility what knits america to the world's really 3 regions europe the middle east and the you know pacific can the united states guarantee its interests in any one of those 3 areas without allies the short answer is no so what fundamental allies have we dropped and abaddon in europe nato is a strong as ever in the indo-pacific not only

k. as a terrorist organization when i served in the u.s. government i always viewed these offshoots whether in syria or iran or elsewhere as the same as the p.k. k. so this was a huge mistake. i think later under the trumpet ministration that attempt has been to portray that arc of ship as transactional suggesting that once the fight against isis is over the u.s. partnership with the white b.g. will end but it was a mistake and of the obama administration now of course my friends from the obama administration would say but we had no alternative turkey was not willing to provide $30000.00 ground troops the white beach was and instead of us soldiers fighting on the front lines it was a wipe e.g. fighters who didn't still i mean that's a fallacy in bargain that the u.s. cut with the like egypt i thank you for your analysis on that matthew breeze there . and protests against the turkish movie of fence of it taking place in several cities around the world but it smith spoke to some demonstrators and a veiled iraq semi autonomous kurdish region a
