ANKARA: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday threatened to expand Turkey鈥檚 offensive against the Afrin region in Syria to other cities in the country鈥檚 north to remove the presence of the Syrian Kurdish militia that Ankara views as terrorists.
鈥淲e will continue our fight until there is no terrorist on our border leading to Iraq,鈥� Erdogan said in a speech in Ankara, vowing to 鈥渃lean up鈥� the city of Manbij, east of Afrin, also held by the Syrian Kurdish People鈥檚 Protection Units (YPG) militia.
Turkey launched its military operation dubbed 鈥淥live Branch鈥� against the YPG on Saturday, supporting Syrian rebels with ground troops, air strikes and artillery fire.
While the YPG is still working closely with Washington against the Daesh extremist group in Syria, Ankara views the YPG as a terror group allied to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers鈥� Party (PKK) inside Turkey.
The PKK is blacklisted by Ankara and its Western allies as a terror outfit.
The seven-day offensive has seen Washington鈥檚 NATO ally Ankara attacking a US-allied force, even raising fears of military confrontation between two alliance powers since the US has a military presence in Manbij.
Erdogan promised the operation would continue until 鈥渨e reach our goals,鈥� adding: 鈥淎fter we will, as promised, clean up Manbij of terrorists.鈥�
Tensions between Ankara and Washington are already high but the operation added further strain to the allies鈥� relationship. The two sides disagreed about the content of telephone talks between Erdogan and US President Donald Trump late on Wednesday.
The US said Trump had urged Turkey to 鈥渓imit its military actions鈥� but a Turkish official said the US statement did 鈥渘ot accurately reflect the content鈥� of the call.
Erdogan criticized Turkey鈥檚 allies, including the US, who have called, he said, for the operation to be 鈥渟hort鈥� and 鈥渓imited鈥� in scope, referring to previous interventions.
鈥淗ow long has Afghanistan lasted? Nearly 20 years. How long has it lasted in Iraq? Nearly 18 years!鈥� he thundered.
Erdogan added that 鈥�343 terrorists were neutralized鈥� during the operation thus far. It was not possible to independently verify the toll.
Three Turkish soldiers have been killed since the start of the offensive, while the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has said 58 Ankara-backed Syrian rebels and 53 US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces and YPG fighters had been killed.
