Pro-Erdogan media justifying Turkish aggression in Idlib

Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, dreams of reviving the Ottoman caliphate, a dream that has turned into a political project for him.
This is why he is threatening to
stage yet a new aggression on northern Syria.
Erdogan said on February 19 that
his country's operation in Idlib would aim to prevent the Syrian army from
fighting the militias controlling the northern Syrian province.
He added that the operation was a
matter of time for the Turkish army.
Erdogan said he would turn the
area on the border between Turkey and Syria into a buffer zone at all costs.
Turkish media backing the Turkish
president keeps defending him and his positions. The same media attacks
countries that oppose Turkish moves.
Yasin Aqtay, an advisor of
Erdogan, wrote an article recently, in which he criticized Russia, describing
the Russian army as a "systematic killing machine".
Aqtay claimed that attacks by the
Syrian army in Idlib had caused the displacement of more than a million Syrian
civilians.
Syrian political analyst, Bassam
Abu Abdullah, who teaches international relations at the University of
Damascus, cited Turkish exaggerations on the number of civilians displaced
because of the military operations in Idlib.
He even scoffed at Turkish claims
about chemical attacks in Idlib.
Backing this view were claims by
a Turkish journalist in one of the Turkish newspapers, who said over a million
people were killed and 12 million others displaced in Idlib.
American journalist, Seymour
Hersh, revealed in an article recently that Sarin is smuggled into Syria from
Turkey by specialized smuggling gangs supervised by Erdogan's intelligence.
In December 2015, the Russian
Foreign Ministry called for opening an investigation into the smuggling of
Sarin from Turkey into Syria.
