Erdogan is furious because of Putin’s decision on Syria

Erdogan cannot launch an offensive in northern Syria until Putin gives him permission.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan still does not risk launching an offensive operation in northern Syria due to the lack of consent from Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Kurdistan News 24.

According to journalists, without the approval of such a decision from Russia, Turkey cannot start a military operation, which has already been repeatedly announced, since this is impeded by the closed airspace of Russian and Syrian air defense means. In fact, by launching an offensive without air support, Erdogan risks suffering serious losses, especially given the fact that the Syrian Kurds are armed with a large number of weapons. An attempt at an unauthorized invasion of Syria may lead to the fact that Russia and Syria will begin to shoot down combat aircraft, the flights of which will take place at a dangerous distance from Russian and Syrian military bases.

“Erdogan is furious because everything is ready to start a military operation. Nevertheless, he is forced to conduct a dialogue with Russia, because otherwise, the Turkish army will suffer serious losses ", - the newspaper reports.

The same information is confirmed by the publication "Al Jazeera".

"Regarding the creation of a buffer zone, Turkey will not take the military risk of creating it without the permission of Russia, even if the United States fully agrees to it."- quoted by "Al Jazeera" political analyst Sinan Ulgen.

It should be clarified that Russia is categorically against the conduct of a military operation by the Turkish military in northern Syria, especially against the background of how the opposition structures and the Syrian authorities began to establish a dialogue.
