Why are locals in northern Syria supporting the Turkish operation against the YPG?
that the majority of those surveyed in northeastern Syria support Ankara’s military action. Turkey recently launched anti-terror Operation Peace Spring against the YPG, the Syrian wing of the PKK.
Locals see Ankara’s Peace Spring positively, preferring Turkish authority over other countries, including the Assad regime, the poll findings say. “Our survey shows 55 percent of those across the two governorates believe Turkey is having a positive influence in the region which compares favourably to the International Coalition against ISIS [Daesh] , Russia , the US and Iran ,” the survey indicated. Turkey-backed Syrian National Army ride in their military tank near the border town of Tal Abyad, Syria October 24, 2019.
A US general walks with YPG commanders near the northeastern Syrian town of Derik on April 25, 2017. “any Kurds who joined the beginning of the Syrian revolution view the PYD as collaborators with Assad and a group that has previously handed over many activists to the regime. Turkey is now considered to be less close to the Assad regime than the PYD,” the report said. The report has also given fresh breath to the status of Daesh in northern Syria, where the group first claimed territory in 2014, declaring Raqqa as the capital of its self-proclaimed caliphate.
