There is quite a lot of involvement from turkey because of the Kurdish Group which is according to turkey, linked to the pkk which is not really well received in turkey. The group itself, the ypg, is denying that. We will see the Un Security Council talking about this later today. We have seen france, the us and other powers edging turkey to restrain its actions and ta ke turkey to restrain its actions and take care that they wouldnt be any civilians involved urging. 0f course syria, as we have seen over the past couple of years, a very messy situation. So complex. He mentioned america because they have actually armed to the ypg because they were fighting is. It is complex. Geopolitical in its consequences but more importantly, for the people of syria, with all of these different armed groups coming together and forming different alliances, you dont see a way out of it in the immediate future, very, very diff
