It is no secret that the Kurds would like to take control of the region in between those two, and create an independent state called Rojava. This is a nightmare scenario for both Turkey and the al-Assad regime.

Karma being what it is, it's only fair.

I could be wrong but I understood that the city of Hasaka hasn't had ISIS forces in it since middle of 2015. I thought YPG (and Assad's forces) cleared them out. However it is definitely correct that the Kurds and Assad forces have been clashing over the last week, which to me means Kurds are going to be without any allies except possibly US.

"...today, August 24th, is the birthday when the Ottomans sparked their takeover of the Middle East at the Battle of Dābiq defeating the Mamluk Sultanate on August 24th 1516, near the town of Dabiq in Syria. And it is today that began the land invasion of Turkey’s largest intervention in Syria on that same day, Wednesday, August 24th, 2016, exactly 500 years to the day from when the Ottomans began their historic control over the Middle East and no one says anything about this. Today is “Operation Euphrates Shield”

Kurds will not be allowed by Neo Ottoman empire to create their state thus Medes shall not rise again.

"Syria is responsible for the terrorism since it refuses to accept our solutions … When we speak of Syria or the Balkans or the Caucasus, these were part of our [Ottoman] geography from 100 years ago. I believe we will overcome all the obstacles in front of us, which will be the will of Allah … Turkey has a massive power and will use it … We are more confident today about our future because since the morning of July the 15th, we are more powerful, we are now in a place that looks more hopeful … Our commitment in achieving the 2023 target, further perçinleşiy(?) after each event we have from coup to terrorism, Turkey will cut off the front foot with the diplomatic games. We will continue to remove, to remove, those who played their games.."

ISIS already left positions so this is not about ISIS but SDF
