Turkey is taking steps to establish a stronger military and diplomatic presence in Syria, but the goal appears to be avoiding a direct military confrontation with Israel.
I dont think they have the balls to attack Israel directly, so Syria wont become a "Turkish protectorate", as long as Israel doesn't attack Turkey directly either.
“We are in close dialogue and in common understanding with all influential actors in the region, especially Mr Trump and Mr Putin, regarding the preservation of Syria’s territorial integrity and stability,” Erdogan said.
How can Erdo say this while at the same time, occupying northern parts of Syria?
The new Syrian government will soon find out that Turkish guarantees of Syria's territorial integrity will amount to shit and Turkey will become the occupier and changer of demographics.
Wait and see.
