A threat can be neutralised, not a person… using such language is in itself a war crime. People are never ‘neutral’… even when dead. Let’s see whether Turkey not only wants to pick a fight with Kurds but also the SAA. At any rate, Kurds will not be neutered, certainly not in Turkey.
Turkish accuracy sucks or they did it on purpose destroying ancient statues in Ain Dara site. So hard to believe the neutralized BS after that happening.
What Turkey is doing is genocide and destroying cultural heritage sites are an attempt to destroy Syrian culture to replace with Neo Otto culture. ISIS in Northwestern Aleppo is a euphemism for Arab civilians SDF/YPG means both Kurds civilians and YPG.
