Erdogan wants the world stage, from the Kurds to Kashmir

Hindustan Times  

The United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday unexpectedly announced that he was revoking the support being provided to the Syrian Kurds, who operated under the Syrian Defense Force umbrella, to fight and defeat ISIS on the ground in Syria, leaving the minority group to fend for itself. New Delhi released an uncharacteristically direct statement criticising the military assault in the northern Syria, stating Turkey’s actions can undermine stability in the region and the fight against terrorism. India’s language mirrored that of Erdogan’s on Kashmir, sending a subtle yet straightforward statement to Turkey For Turkey, almost the entirety of the Kurdish population in the region is seen from the lens of the PKK, a far-left militant outfit, designated as a “terror” group by Ankara. Despite having a significant minority Kurdish population at home, Erdogan’s primary national security approach has always been to undermine the Kurds as part of Turkey’s broader national interest in the region. New Delhi also released an uncharacteristically direct statement criticising the military assault in the northern Syria, stating Turkey’s actions can undermine stability in the region and the fight against terrorism.
