Türkiye considers military action in Syria Amid PKK/YPG election threats
Türkiye is weighing the possibility of launching military action in Syria this summer in response to the activities of the terrorist organization PKK/YPG.
The PKK/YPG elections scheduled for August in northeastern Syria's Kurdish-controlled areas are cited as a potential trigger for Turkish intervention, Hürriyet reports.
Despite the postponement of the elections, Türkiye remains vigilant, recognizing the ongoing threat posed by the PKK/YPG. The silence of key regional players like Russia and Iran, as well as the lack of opposition from the Syrian state, is noted as concerning.
Türkiye perceives the PKK/YPG's attempts to hold elections and establish autonomous administration as a direct threat to its security interests. The recent postponement of PKK elections on June 11 is attributed to Türkiye's firm stance, which reportedly thwarted US-backed plans. As tensions escalate, Türkiye prepares for the possibility of military action to counter PKK/YPG threats in Syria.
