Turkey has invaded Syria in derogation of international law (Nuremberg) with the blessing of the US and the “international community”. According to press reports Turkey’s air force and artillery were involved in “pounding ISIS strongholds” in Jarablus. Turkey’s mandate according to an official communique is to “completely cleanse terrorists from its border region with Syria.” The media applauds. Turkey has a humanitarian mission under the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine. The truth of the matter is that Turkey sponsors the terrorists and then invades Syria on the pretext that it must protect Syria from the ISIS. Erdogan is going after his own terrorists. The ISIS is sponsored and supported by the Turkish High command.
