Rump, his bootlicker Rethugs, and Erdogan will spin it as a battle against only the YPG, PKK, and

their allies, and not a move against all Kurds.

3. Most of the news sources in the screenshot are Turkish

Daily Sabah, Yeni Safak, Anadolu Agency and Hurriyet are all Turkish

The author of the Bloomberg article is Turkish. (I haven't read it cuz I've got horrible sciatica, but with his name I can predict what it says)

Did you do a search via Turkish sources???

This type of talk is exactly what I expect from Turkey. They've been talking like this for years...and ever since I encountered Turks on the internet 20 years ago. "Armenians = PKK = ASALA" is what I would read.

4. thus my 'Turkey is already doing this' statement

that was the point

6. That's what Turkey does

They've been doing this forever.....

Trump is stupid to listen to Erdogan.

5. They're still comparing PKK to ASALA....

Geez....

The relationship between the Turkish left on one hand, and Armenian and Kurdish nationalists on the other is not new. The political line of Bakırcıyan’s organization TİKKO is notable for its opposition to Kemalism and the Turkish nation building project. TİKKO’s founder İbrahim Kaypakkaya was one of the first leftist leaders to categorize Kemalism as ‘fascism’ and to introduce the Armenian issue into political discourse.[3] The foundations laid by Kaypakkaya still shape much of the Turkish left’s views on the Armenian issue.

This article argues that the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) emerged as an integral part of the Turkish left and its views on the Armenian issue have been shaped in accordance with the ideological current developed by Kaypakkaya.[4] Resultantly, the PKK’s cooperation with Armenian terrorists was not strictly based on tactical necessity.
