An unprecedented statement on “our brothers, the Turks who are oppressed in Xanthi and Komotini” in northern Greece,was made by Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in a speech on the occasion of the “triumph” in Afrin.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the Turks to be ready for conscription, during a speech in the town of Kahramanmaras, raising questions about the course of the country’s military operations in Syria.

The Turkish president has called US-backed Syrian Border Force using Kurdish fighters a “terrorist army,” vowing to “drown” it before it’s complete. He also added that military preparations against Kurdish-held Afrin are ready.
“Our duty is to drown this terrorist force before it is born,” the Turkish leader said on Monday, as cited by AP.
