- … and how it’s getting what it wanted.
On Oct. 9, 2019, Turkey launched an attack in northeastern Syria. Turkey made the move shortly after the US announced it would remove some of its troops from the region.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had his eyes on the region for years. Turkey, he argued, needed a “safe zone” to serve as a buffer against the Syrian War happening just across the border. Yet back home in Turkey, there were other factors at play that accelerated his calls for an invasion that involved Erdoğan’s own political survival.
The move has recalibrated alliances in the Syrian War and added new uncertainty on the future of the region.

Hi everyone! We wanted to share some of our sources for critical points in the video:
For figures on Syrian refugees in neighboring countries, we used official numbers provided by the United Nations Commissioner for Refugees. You can find that information here: data2.unhcr.org/en/situations/syria
UNCHR has tracked this official count since the start of Syria’s civil war and there are indeed still many that are unaccounted for.
For map data, you can go to: www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/effects-us-withdrawal-syria
Just a note: To understand the total impact of refugees in the countries of the region, it is important to add Iraqi (including the IDPs) and Palestinian refugees to picture with the population and GDP per capita of the regions and countries that accepted them. (I am writing this to demostrate that in contrast to the claims of Turkey, actually Lebanon, Jordan and Iraqi Kurdistan have sacrificed more to accommodate refugees in the region.)
You guys are doing great, I have been wondering why turkey invaded Syria and this video answered my questions perfectly!
Thank you very much !
U can't Mossad the Assad!
@@srnrn141 Everybody knows this, Syrians just ended up in Turkey for geographical reasons. Erdogan got bribed to keep them, and he gets lots of other perks to boot. Nobody believes his BS lies and the most of the rest of the world (and believe me, a *LOT* of Turks) absolutely despise him.
Sebastian Elytron Turkey is sheltering 3.6 million refugees. You can’t underestimate this. If Turkey didn’t want to take them, borders could be closed like what EU did. Why you are not behave fairly to Turkey? This is demonization.

Why do I get the feeling that this is not the whole story.
Because it's too much information for a 10 minute video
You trust Vox to give you the whole story?
It's a summarised version, that doesnt cover the main aspect of the conflict much due to time. Ethnic identity, and the historical implications of that identity. The division of the Middle East after the fall of the Ottoman empire, that split the Kurds into many different areas. The fact that Kurdish nationalism is high because they were threatened and managed to hold IS off. That if the PKK instills an uprising with the support of Syrian Kurds, Turkey risks losing territory. But who do you fit that history in a short 10min video? It's always good to do research after documentaries, they cannot fit everything in. Research on the Kurds, their diaspora and what the PKK has done in turkey previously. Research on the Turkish governement, popularity ect. I love Vox because they summarise and their content is always well presented. But as with most journalistic sources,its worth learning more.

Actually, Türkiye is not occupying Syria. One of the proofs of this is the migration of many Syrian civilians to Turkey. Turkey does not shoot at civilians either, Turkey only protects its border from terrorist organizations such as PKK/YPG. Also, it is hard to see Turkey there, but America? While America has entered Syria, covering a distance of approximately 10,745 km (where it provides weapons, ammunition and material support to terrorist organizations). Some countries are very angry that they continue their operations while trying not to hurt a single civilian.
Military forces of Turkey entered Syria to clean the terrorists from there. turkey does not want an agression on its borders. However the agressions were already affecting the borders of Turkey with Syria. Turkey does not invade the lands of Syria. The safe zone serves to create the the stable place on the borders of Turkey with Syria. If the purpose of Turkey is to invade Syria, Turkey would have done it in a very short period. Turkey has the power. But what Turkey is doing in Syria is to clean its borders from the terrorists to create the actual safe zone. Turkey does not invade Syria.

Short answer: To cleanup terrorists who terrorizes Turkey for over 30 years.
You are missing really important points in your analysis. First, PKK is not a separatist group, it is a terrorist organization that killed thousands of civilians as well as soldiers in different parts of Turkey since 1984. They are recognized as terrorists not only by Turkey, but also by the US and the EU. Second, SDF is not a joint organization formed by Kurdish and non-Kurdish militias. It is just a rebranding of an armed Kurdish group called YPG, as admitted by US officials before.

Shrek pretty sure they do
The Swiss police Yes totally, they just took 1,000,000 barrels of oil in 6 MRAPS
So many mislead information. First, sdf didn't come up from ground, it's main force is ypg, which Syrian branch of pkk. Besides, mazlum kobane, commander of sdf is a long time pkk member and high ranking officer.
You haven't mention turkey having meetings with ypg back in 2015, Salih Müslim visiting Ankara many times. Turks offered cutting ties with pkk and offered help. Ypg didn't agreed. So turkeys first action was to support Syrian Kurds, they choosed to side with USA and pkk.
Also, i never saw your video mentioning ypg mortar strikes into Turkish towns. Even long before these operations.
Plus, turkey never agreed 5 km zone. Instead first plan was 45 km but Trump convinced it should be no more than 30 km. This 5 km was usa telling turkey ok we started patrols, soon ypg will leave these areas and you get your corridor. But ypg didn't agreed that plan and told USA they will never leave. So turkey stopped 5km patrols and decided after a year and half nobody is caring about turkeys security concerns, so operation started.

And that mistake led to US and Saudi losing all their money they were investing into ISIS. After that, US have became "anti-terrorist" and have started to "free" arabia from terrorists. But not many people know, that these terrorists was actually an american project.
Hey guys can you do a video about the lebanese protests please? It could help a lot of people understand what's happening, that way they can be more informed.
That would be really interesting-I must admit I dont know enough about Lebanon. I try and keep track of what's going on in the world and I very much enjoy history as well, a vid on Lebanon would be informative, give more perspective on the region and be interesting 👍

If Turkey'd say that we are trying to provide democracy in our contiguous country, u wouldnt accuse them to invade to syria. but they just want to keep safe their border.

Refugees just want refuge, they'll go anywhere less violent than the place they're fleeing from. Turkey also happens to be the fastest way into the EU which is where many are trying to go.
@@remembertotakeshowerspleas355 Lol, so hilarious. So why are they still here . They should go somewhere else.... But they are still here.
@@nisan2586 Because immigration is not a magical process where you instantly and seamlessly teleport from area to the next. If you were to ask the average Syrian refugee in Turkey if they are where they want to be the answer most would give is no, if you were to ask them if they would rather be in Europe the answer most would give is yes. Turkey just happens to be the closest and most accepting country for many Syrian migrants but that does mean everyone who flees there does so because they have any affection for Turkey or that are happy with Turkey's military intervention in Syria.

Extra critical info:
Turkey offered Europe to take half of refuges and there will be no Operation.
All of Europe: Imma pretend like i didnt see that offer
Well duh, it wasn't a reasonable or believably honest offer. Never negotiate with terrorists
The conflict is not about refugees it's about who controls Syrian territory as it is geopolitically a strategic piece of land. Refugees are just an excuse to send troops.
It was less of an offer and more of a blackmail. More like "do not interfere or I will let the refugees come to Europe". Of course even the fact that Europe is so afraid of doing its humanitarian duties that Turkey can use it as a negotiation card is embarrassing enough.

@@okpo2596 USA and Tureky did backed FSA it's not secret. And not to mention the whole shitshow after Iraq invasion.

It's getting worse and worse in middle east and it looks like the shitshow will continue. It doesn't matter if US pulled all the troops from middle east. We still remember what started it all. Oil. USA doesn't care if middle east nuked itself as long as the barrel of Oil is $.

@@quinoline3865 Yeah, that's false. You're thinking of CNN.
Someone didn't watch the whole video.
Were the translate????
the incident that happened in Syria in 2011 caused the killing of civilians in Turkey and Syria by supporting the YPG terrorist group, which was pilanned by the American state and killed millions of people.When the Russians entered Afghanistan, it was America that supported the ISIS organization and nurtured and grew it. SDF=YPG=PKK is a terrorist organization that killed our family and citizens. Turkey is not an occupier, but has used its right arising from the provisions of the United Nations.Because our borders were in danger, intervention was made and no civilian casualties were caused, because the Turkish military gradually advanced and tried to distinguish between a citizen and a terrorist. The resources you use are insufficient. Prepare the next video by working harder :)
