they really want from turkey and other schemes and one more question here i mean kurdish forces have said look they will abide by the agreement in flashpoint border towns like ras al-ain like the ad but it's not clear though that groups like the wind will fully comply that's a big problem for turkey. city right and the special. that the americans are out of there have savvy less and less leverage of. the kurds why because the because actually they see the americans as betraying them due to a great extent because you know i mean the americans they abandoned abandoned them actually and they're now took you to start this military operation in the 1st place and i dish and don't forget that the downs and villages on the borders of kurdish majority. of villages and towns so that when they are controlled by turkey this is something that it's very difficult for me to see how the kurds actually with the will will accept that. and the medium and longer on when they accept that their kid controlled this and definitely this is something for them i guess i guess difficult to i mean to see the sea accepting so we still need to watch closely the development on the ground in order to
