Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that the Turkish Army has entered Syria to end the rule of Syrian President Bashar Assad, whom the accused of terrorism and causing the deaths of thousands of Syrians.
"We entered [Syria] to end the rule of the tyrant al-Assad who terrorizes with state terror. [We didn't enter] for any other reason," the Turkish president said at the first Inter-Parliamentary Jerusalem Platform Symposium in Istanbul, as quoted by Hurriyet daily.
Erdogan said that Turkey has no territorial claims in Syria, but instead wants to hand over power to the Syrian population, adding that Ankara is seeking to restore "justice."
"Why did we enter? We do not have an eye on Syrian soil. The issue is to provide lands to their real owners. That is to say we are there for the establishment of justice," he said.

Yeah, that’s going to end well.
Pot calling kettle black? What’s his long range goal?
The window for Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the Soros Billionaires Cabal in Syria is rapidly closing.
If Trump and Putin team up to take out “Obama’s Terrorists”, Erdogan’s dream of reviving some version of the Greater Turkish Empire is over.
Sounds good but....................................
Please, make it happen, Syria-Turkish war, may they blow each other to hell.
Poking the Bear. With Assad out Russia loses it's base in the Med.
Turkey has no right to invade Syria. Other countries there who DO have permission to be there have a right to MOAB or nuke invading ground forces from Turkey!
So Turkey is prepared to fight real Russian troops with real fur hats over Syria? That should be interesting.
Qatar promised ergodan trillions for allowing the pipeline thru Syria and turkey to Europe. Syria said no. It’s all about pipelines.
Bad move.....Russia wasn’t too happy with you shooting down their plane.
With Turkey attacking Syria, Russia then is forced to attack Turkish forces. Turkey, a member of Nato then calls for Nato Article 5 (?) to have Nato comes to its aid and voila! WW4!
Ergodan’s timetable for doing this now is the ISIS fighters in Alleppo were crushed yesterday
We need to either withdraw from NATO, or kick Turkey out of NATO fast.
I should hope NATO would not come to rescue an invader who runs into trouble while invading a sovereign neighbor country
If this adventure puts Turkey neck deep in s#!+ and they try to invoke the NATO treaty things could get interesting very quickly.
And Russian forces are in Syria to sustain it.
Let it dissolve. That should have been done in 1992.
Sounds like a total Cluster you-know-what.
There will be so many nations, factions and terrorist groups fighting they will need a scorecard to track who is fighting whom.
Erdogan wants to be the Sultan or Caliph of the new Islamic Caliphate.
