Turkey Asks Kurds Not to Be 'Obstacle to Stability,' After Invading Northern Syria
Al-Monitor reports that Turkey's top diplomat urged Kurdish forces to 'integrate into the Syrian army' to avoid being an 'obstacle to Syria's stability.' This advice comes from Ankara, whose military has repeatedly invaded northern Syria, displaced Kurdish populations, and funded various proxy groups, creating significant instability. Funny how 'stability' always seems to involve the invaded
capitulating to the invader. For decades, Turkey has waged a violent campaign against Kurdish aspirations for self-determination, both domestically and across its borders, painting any Kurdish autonomy as an existential threat. Now, they're framing Kurdish self-defense as an impediment to peace. One might wonder if 'stability' actually means 'Turkish dominance over the region' when viewed through
Ankara's lens.
