"Mr. Erdogan said in a speech in Ankara on Wednesday. “We have only ever sought to help the people of Syria and have no other intentions.”"
Does anyone at all believe that? Erdogan speak with forked tongue....
So what is Russia doing?
The Syrian Govt is not too happy.......
"
Syrian government called the Turkish operation a
“blatant violation of the sovereignty” of Syria, adding that
“replacing” Islamic State with
“other terrorist organizations backed directly by Turkey” cannot be regarded as a fight against terrorism.
“What is happening in Jarablus now isn’t fighting terrorism as Turkey claims - rather it is replacing one type of terrorism with another,” a Syrian government official told SANA and once again called on the UN to
“put an end to this aggression” and to make Turkey and the US-led coalition fulfill the UN resolutions related to closing the borders and preventing the terrorists from receiving funding and support from abroad.
The Syrian UN envoy also said Wednesday that the Syrian government did not request any such aid from Turkey and stressed that all foreign forces fighting terrorism in Syria should coordinate their actions with the Syrian Army."

So, Erdogan had made friendly overtures to Putin recently. Is this a case of "Et tu Brute?" Or has Russia agreed to a compromise?
