On Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan finally has made his move and ordered Turkey’s military to establish a “safe zone†in Northeast Syria.
U.S. President Donald Trump endorsed Erdoğan’s move and ordered U.S. troops to vacate positions "in the immediate area" of the operation.
The safe zone will allow Turkey to suppress the Marxist Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), forces it claims are allied with the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), and to start repatriating Syrian refugees.
