In. 4 days and personally i dont behalf of the government of condolences to the families. Of the fallen martyrs these are precious sacrifices and all these sacrifices are meant. For the greater good of the turkish people who will prevail sooner or later i pray to god almighty to grant speedy recovery to the war ended and i hope we will come to a day where we will have no foreign martyrs a peaceful. Prosperous life however we shouldnt fight for our rights. Our forum our stars as mohammed ark of the turkish poit. We should honor their memories as this saw it said you. Have if our martyrs have not fallen we wouldnt have. Become. A country for them the sun will set thanks however. These sacrifices are so precious. Keeping at the same time we cannot allow those precious blood to go down the drain. We killed more than 2000 of the syrian soldiers. Including. In addition to the 49. 00 than 50 halogens 17 Armored Vehicles in total 300. 00. Military Armored Vehicles. In addition to strips runways. Weapons. Were all destroyed. I mean i mean isnt depot were also destroyed. In addition to that factories. For korea manufacturing chemical weapons were also destroyed we will prove to the Syrian Regime and those backing them that we are capable only ester day we destroyed 7 chemical weapons depots. We hadnt wished that escalation yet it was the Syrian Regime that forced us into that thats why they said it team must pay the price. Now lets put ourselves and theres choose. Those who are asking or. What is turkey doing in syria. Then we say ok we are prepared to pull. Out of syria but. Will we have smoked a safe. Here is the piece for. Do you believe that the syrian and russian regimes in. The hague this move will they allow millions of refugees to return. Home will they provide a decent way of life to them will they. Protect our border lines will they lend a helping us to our economy. Will these problems is this appear on our southern border life. Will the Syrian Regime not at. Our positions will the syrian aegean refrain from occupying our territories i can say it out loud and all pally the syrians and many other parties. Are doing all their best to undermine turkey. I spoke to the turks opposition with the exception of the head of the opposition. All the Opposition Forces are communicating with me and contacting me with the exception of the leader of the opposition who expects me. To any. Communication with him. Our people are aware of the situation. And thats why we are adamant to continue in syria on our border life and into syria we will continue. To fight until we establish a save zone. In 30 kilometers. That never has. And. To the east and to the west of that position despite the fact that all the pledges made to us all the promises made to us will not be made. Spoke to put in yesterday and said. You had promised that. Another terrorist organization will be pushed out of this area neither russia nor america has fulfilled their promises we are aware that these terrorist organizations are still operating in the air in their. Again. They has made empty promises russia and america now we are asking us simply to pull out no we will do what we have to do until they make their promises. On every occasion the terrorist organizations do not hesitate to attack us the promises made in italy were not fulfilled. The Syrian Regime. 1000 times. Has broken the promises made in sochi. They are targeting the residential areas of the Syrian Regime is killing its own Helpless Army is. An armed. Civilians. All the promises made to us will not fulfill. There is no superpower is honest no one is lending a helping hand or protecting the helpless and ad lib on the contrary. Convolve trucks carrying weapons. And ammunitions. Have been dispatched to the terrorist organizations in. The Syrian Regime was also supported. On the other hand he is not receiving any in support more so. That if it is. I told you before we will open our borders for that if you choose to flood to europe. And as we speak. 18000 people have crossed the border and the end of today 25000. Crosses into europe and from this day on we will not close our border live simply because the European Union has not fulfill the promises they had made. Gated to care for all ringback these refugees if those parties change when they have to contribute they have to fulfill the promises they had made otherwise we will not watch. Our borders as they said we will do what we can until we win this fight. We had a problem in the. Air defenses and Missile Systems we are manufacturing. Better ones with respect to the artillery drones fighter jets we are manufacturing excellent advanced ones. That at the time i was Prime Minister we had no drones now. We were not provided with drones capable of carrying weapons and missiles now we are capable of manufacturing those ones for. And they have been tested successfully and they are now being. Manufactured at a larger scale. We are also a bad form to manufacture and on and submarines. We are capable. If we do not have sufficient soldiers we will train. An army the sufficient number of soldiers if we are acting lonely and alone and diplomacy we will play with all the cards up our sleeves we are capable of maintaining a mighty powerful king. However we should all the allies that economy is a cornerstone. Some claim that his economy is fragile. We will continue to fight economically and militarily we are not seeking any assistance we are not waiting for any support we have. We have the capabilities and we also have the military might. Since 1917 we have been adamant to bolster our economy and now we are in a better shape economically. And at the touristic level. Unli 2019 we received more than 52000000 tourists and record. Unli last january. More than 60 percent of that number. Only in one month. So we. 5th. If youve just joined us here on aljazeera that is turkish president richard typo on addressing a group of parliamentarians speaking of course about the situation in northwestern syria and it led province and also following the killing of at least 33 turkish soldiers actually he confirmed 36 turkish soldiers have been killed there was a Syrian Government on the day just to recap a bit about what president has been saying he said there are now half a 1000000 syrians on the border with turkey have been pushed there from the fighting that he is trying to establish a safe zone of at least 30 kilometers and to set up accommodation for those refugees he did however quite pointedly say that no one is helping turkey funds for refugees that have been promised by merkel german chancellor Angela Merkel have yet to eventuate making quite pointed comments with regards of its allies getting help for both refugees he said that turkey cannot afford to look after more refugees and has 3400000 syrians living in turkey but at the same time it says turkey cannot leave the refugees who are on its border alone because of the situation that they are facing for more we can bring in aljazeera has seen him call sheol who is in hot tire which is on the border with syria what did you make of what one had to say also given the crucial time that were in right now the deadline that no one had given for those syrian troops to pull back from the turkish observation posts. Well given that he is with his parties our party is members of the parliament he seems to be is showing that the government is determined on its mission inside the 4 for the Turkish Military situation is in a that i must say that it is not like the peace bring operation or the other operations that have been conducted in northwestern syria the public support is relatively lower in the operation because of the opposition and the critics of the Turkish Military presence in right now have been criticizing the government and the army by saying that the airspace is closed by the Syrian Government and the russians so is sending the troops over there is there a risk for the soldiers by the prisons i dont say is that this is again and National Security issue because turkey doesnt have any more power to carry the burden of another refugee flock inside turkey and as you stated there are around the 1000000 Syrian Refugees that have a line by the border right behind us and 3 more 3000000 more people inside there around 4000000 civilians are living in to and they are being killed indiscriminately by the Syrian Governments air strikes bomb bangs and assaults and he said that we didnt come to live upon the request of the Syrian Government by the request of the syrian civilians innocent people over there were not going to go out were going to continue our military operations and presence over there if we pull back it means that we will need to give up on our own our success on the other areas of syria where those areas are currently controlled by the turkish backed. Free syrian army in its new name Syrian National army are going to see. Try to show that he is the germans but on the other side he is judging in the russian russian stance towards this issue he said i asked for 10 what do you want to do there if you are not doing if you want to just build a military base ok build it but get out of our way and we will continue to fight against the Syrian Government he says this is the refugee problem is a National Security risk and the Syrian Government. Stands as an enemy as a forward against turkey is a risk for turkey and there are terrorists he says he means the output he means the y. P. Too which is linked to the output Kurdistan Workers Party which is a threat for turkey at best why he says he will continue to fight there he has been of course complaining about the lack of western support but it seems a pull it on the political level turkey is much more aligned with the west mainly the United States but on the ground the the field dictates a corporation with the russians and we just heard from the Russian Defense ministry that they are turkish turks and the russians have agreed to continue on the us on a process this than the sobriety is not that but the most important thing about his life he has lines today is that he says turkey wants a safe zone to establish in 30 kilometers there that is going to work as a barrier between the Syrian Government and turkey he says this is something turkeys aim is not a territorial gain but just to confirm the security of borders he says these are the main main lines from from his speech a speech actually refers to both domestic and International Audience and it seems don this right to seek more public support both national and International Level thank you for that thats aljazeera said of course who live there from hard time. Well as weve just heard there from president. He said he will no longer hold back refugees from entering europe hundreds of migrants have flocked to woods the european fronted after turkey said it would open up its borders greece says its determined to stay vigilant at the border to prevent illegal entries several arrests have already been made thats actually going to name is live for us in istanbul there natasha go on saying that 18000 people have already crossed the border 25000 will have crossed by the end of the day apparently he wanted is making good on the promises or for it that he may depend on how you look at it too to let these refugees through. Yes kim but if you put this into context this is not the 1st time that president early on has quote opened up the borders and allowed refugees to attempt to make it deeper into europe i read this morning that he has done this 9 previous times but what we have here at least for the moment as you mentioned is a significant uptick in the number of Syrian Refugees who are being allowed to cross either by land or sea from turkey and attempt to make their way deeper into europe now yesterday we were going to 2 spots here in central istanbul where we found hundreds of Syrian Refugees these are people who have already been living here for quite some time being packed on to buses provided by local municipalities for free they were being bussed to the turkish city of a journey where there is a checkpoint at this checkpoint things have become rather tense turkish people have been allowed to cross technically over the border from turkey but now theyre sandwiched in between a kind of no mans land between turkey and greece and what were seeing is scenes of refugees facing a massive cloud of tear gas being fired by greek police and there are also reports that refugees are throwing stones at the greek police the people are telling us who are going are telling us that theyre going because they are trading the stability and security theyve had here in turkey for the hope of better prospects in europe the opportunity to build a future one many people told us they simply do not believe that they have here the bigger question though kim is what does this all mean is this the temporary way as or one has done in the past to attempt to get the attention of nato and europe a kind of saber rattling he wants nato to assist him militarily as he continues this offensive in to help retake the last row. The rebel held territory in syria he also wants europe to help with the crushing burden of the senior syrian refugee crisis as seen i mentioned 3700000 Syrian Refugees have been absorbed by turkey and it is come at a great cost to turkey now turkey in 2016 made a deal with the European Union it said that it would crack down on the flow of Syrian Refugees further into europe and in exchange i was given more than 7000000000. 00 but again that has had a huge toll on the economy here in turkey and erdogan saying this is a humanitarian issue that is continuing and europe and the rest of the world need to step up and help turkey address it the times you can name a lot from a stumble thank you. To other news then in the coming hours the u. S. And Afghan Taliban as you just sign a preliminary deal that could eventually end americas longest running war its the result of 18 months of talks but once its agreed there is still a way to go lets go live to some event of a 2 is at those talks are some i believe u. S. Secretary of state might bump a or has arrived at the event just walk us through whats happening today. Yes your secretary of state my pompei or will attend this ceremony which will be the signing ceremony between the taliban and the u. S. Government and the buzz words here in the are historic and lasting peace there are merely parties to this conflict and all of them seem to have agreed to some sort of an agreement between the United States and the taliban the details of which are not yet clear but the taliban has has said that it will be looking at a gradual withdrawal of u. S. Troops it will be expanding its reduction in violence week as well as releasing some prisoners of the Afghan Government as well as expecting nearly 5000. 00 prisoners of the taliban which are in afghan jails to be released as well and they have gotten government on the other hand told our desire that there are not have not been party to this agreement they were there will be a token presence but they will not be at the signing ceremony itself they will be part of the intro of dan talks which will be the next step after this deal is signed so there has been a lot of lead up to this and lot of questions of been asked about americas longest running war nearly 20 years and trillions of dollars spent what has america been able to achieve in the gun is stan what have afghans achieved out of their removal of taliban from office and we asked the taliban spokesman in particular whether it would mean that after agreements after taliban agreeing to some sort of share in power in the Afghan Government would this mean a rollback of Civil Liberties of womens rights of Girls Education of going to sign and to that he said it wont be the case. We have the person of the treaty of our plants there you see there is peace and there is. Commercial activities there is schools so if you go out there. Now and when the security is more in in those areas and there are control rather than in the main cities provincial cities that cover the capital kabul so about womens rights a woman one that harbored their right to education and their right to work we both accept and give them as part of the islamic rules but only that they observe the hague i said we must stress this isnt of course the end of the conflict there is in traffic and talks must take place next and imad is a minefield in itself with many challenges. Absolutely to coin a phrase from u. S. Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld who said there are no known and unknown unknowns and that is where we are with this that is going to be a signing ceremony yes they have agreed to some terms but what will happen to the Islamic Emirate of afghanistan which was the Sticking Point that taliban continued to refuse to accept the government in kabul as the legitimate government they called them a party to the conflict build they be able to release 5000 prisoners in 10 days as they expect what will be the next venue where the interest of gun talks are going to take place so there are many questions which remain but it is being hailed as an important 1st step to remember that this process started in 2010 with mullah omar agreeing to sit down and his delegation meeting the americans in germany then in 2013 this process started in and has had many incidents where it has gone to coming very close to words a deal. Breaking apart and that is where we are that we are waiting to see what will be the details of of this agreement how easy would it be for of gonds to sit down and talk to each other from all parties of the conflict not just inside afghanistan but outside of konstanz what thanks so much for that thats so some event of a there live from the talks at doha i had abdelhamid has been finding out how people in afghanistan feel about the deal she is in kabul of 1st off lets talk about those interest afghan talks the next step pair what challenges are there for that process. I think at this stage is probably the biggest challenge facing the u. S. I mean if you look at all what unfolded over the past week where you had 2 candidates incumbent president chavez and he and his main rival who is also the chief executive of the government. Both saying we are the winner of the elections and both threatening to go ahead with their own inauguration it took a lot of sort of shuttle diplomacy from u. S. Envoys as i mean a little sad just sort of calm down the situation defuse it and try to push for this rivalry to after to see a ceremony in doha and now this problem is still here today we have the u. S. Defense secretary of defense mark and the need to secretary general against children back both in kabul they sort of going to hold at some point a joint declaration with president rouhani and i think the message is very clear trying to tell the Afghan Government we are still here we are still supporting you as long as this process goes on but by and large the Afghan Government felt really kept on the margins of all of this not very happy sometimes they wanted really a ceasefire have permanent ceasefire before initiating any kind of talks with the taliban the taliban obviously refusing that saying that if they had a cease fire then they would lose a lot of power on the ground so certainly a complicated situation here and as osama said is in traffic and dogs are said now apparently for march 10th well undecided there is still no delegation nobody knows who is going who is going to take part of it and basically the Afghan People say well from what we see the taliban are going ahead with their own negotiations and our government is still bickering and we do not know who is going to represent us when these talks start and how powerful and what kind of position that delegation will have considering the background of bickering that is ongoing. What are some of those at that signing event don has said the buzz word there is lasting peace is that same hold held by ordinary ask. Well i hope is there but they have also a lot of questions because yes there has been reduction in violence period of 7 days that has been largely successful from the American Point of view but the war between the taliban and Afghan Security forces have been it is ongoing its not part of the deal with the american so there is still a certain level of violence only going to have been more than a dozen attacks over the past week and there have been also more than a dozen or tallet is because of those attacks and then you know afghans you speak to them they say yes we do want peace and maybe it is time for the afghans to try to solve their problems alone but theyre also very wary many are worried about the taliban and maybe one day being part of the government and trying to impose their agenda again they dont believe that the taliban have scaled back let the their strict ways especially to women dont believe that so there are a lot of fears that some of the gains that have been made over the past 20 years some of the live issues they have gained over the past 20 years may be rolled back and make no mistake when it comes to the taliban no matter what the taliban seated in Generational Community people here still have a deep level of distrust. Thank you for that don hamid live from kabul and just to run you through whats happening today in a few hours the u. S. And the Afghan Taliban a due to sign this preliminary deal and that could eventually end what is of course americas longest running war this is the result of 18 months of talks here in doha there is of course a long way to go once this is signed the 1st stage will be a 135 day reduction in violence that follows a week long reduction of violence with which both sides the u. S. And the taliban have all via say deems to be acceptable to get to this point once that one 135. 00 day period happens there will then be its hoped an exchange of about 6000. 00 prisoners all up its a precursor to intra afghan talks which will be the difficult next stage which happens after that now the news continues here in algiers there are mixed is counting the cost stay with us. Its the game that will define the democratic race for the white house. Team states going to make a choice should challenge. In the president ial election and join us for americas super tuesday.
