From the link:
“Turkey had previously said it would conduct air strikes, but apparently held off after Syrian authorities threatened to shoot the planes down.”
This is false. Turkey DID bring 2 days of air strikes.
There were high civilian casualties in Efrin. And in smaller towns. Total numbers are not clear.
Turkey is invading Efrin Syria. The YPG are not the PKK. Both are Kurds. The PKK has aided the YPG military, training and supplies. These people were fighting to survive ISIS.
Nothing Turkey says is ever true. This is the prelude to another genocide if the world allows them. It must end.
The article was written before the arty strike, so what?
