Erdogan tries to avoid rebellion of militants and Turkish forces in Syria Turkey's massive military operation in Syria has "choked" without starting. One of the largest military operations of the Turkish Armed Forces in the territory of Syria, which was earlier announced by the Turkish President Recep Erdogan, not only did not end with any success for Turkey, but it has not even started. So far Kurdish units have managed to destroy more fighters and Turkish soldiers, not to mention nearly a dozen armored vehicles, than Turkish troops did against the Syrian Kurds. As it turns out, Erdogan's attempt to avoid a revolt among militants and Turkish forces, who are extremely unhappy with the continuing destabilization of the situation in Turkey itself, caused mainly by the collapse of the Turkish national currency, is to blame. At the moment there is a real protest rife among the Turkish military and pro-Turkish terrorists in Syria, which may lead to absolutely unpredictable consequences for Ankara. This is due primarily to the fact that the militants are demanding that Erdogan pay for their assistance either in foreign currency, or increase the payments to reach the pre-crisis level. The same situation, though much less pronounced, is observed in the Turkish Armed Forces. The source notes that Erdogan is well aware that as soon as he tries to launch a military operation in northern Syria, the Turkish lira will collapse by 20-30% and this is guaranteed to lead to a revolt among the military. At the moment the Turkish leader is trying to stabilize the situation in the country's economy, but by the end of next week the value of the national currency is expected to fall by 250% compared to the beginning of this year.
