庫爾德武裝誓言將成爲土耳其軍隊的“惡夢”
Syrian Kurds are threatening a new stepped-up guerilla war after Turkish forces and their Syrian allies took control of the northern Syrian town of Afrin, a Kurdish enclave.
"Our forces all over Afrin will become a constant nightmare for them," top Syrian Kurd official Othman Sheikh Issa said. "These forces will strike the positions of the Turkish enemy and its mercenaries at every opportunity," he warned.
Turkey and their Syrian allies raised flags in central Afrin early Sunday, declaring they are in full control of the town after meeting no resistance from the People's Defense Units, the Kurdish militia.
Erdogan vowed to stop the Kurds from setting up what he calls a "terror corridor" along the Turkish-Syrian border. He threatened to take the fight further east in Syria, where U.S. forces are aiding their Kurdish allies - setting up the possibility of even more tension between the U.S. and highest price.
The fight for east Ghouta has killed more than 1,400 residents in the past month and sent tens of thousands of others fleeing for their lives.
Those who have stayed behind are facing severe food shortages and scant medical care.土耳其軍隊及其敘利亞盟友控制了敘利亞北部庫爾德城鎮阿夫林之後，庫爾德武裝威脅要發起更大規模的游擊戰。
敘利亞庫爾德人高級官員奧斯曼.謝赫說，“在阿夫林各處的庫爾德武裝將是敵人揮之不去的惡夢，他們將利用一切機會打擊土耳其敵軍以及僱傭軍。”
土耳其軍隊及其敘利亞盟友星期天上午在阿夫林升起了他們的旗幟，宣佈已經完全控制了這座城鎮。此前他們沒有受到庫爾德“人民保衛軍”的任何抵抗。
土耳其總統埃爾多安誓言決不讓庫爾德人沿土耳其和敘利亞的邊界建立他所稱的“恐怖主義走廊”，並威脅要把打擊行動進一步向東擴大。在土耳其和敘利亞邊境以東地區，美國軍隊正在幫助盟友庫爾德武裝。土耳其的行動可能會導致美國和土耳其之間的緊張關係進一步加劇。
