** 09-Oct-2019 World View: Turkey begins 'Operation Peace Spring' in northern Syria

According to a tweet this morning from Turkey's president Recep Tayyip
Erdogan:

Quote: "Our Turkish Armed Forces with Syrian National Army
has started the #OperationPeaceSpring against the PKK/YPG and
Daesh terrorist organizations, in northern Syria. Our aim is to
wipe out the terror corridor, trying to be implemented in our
southern border, and bring peace and security to the region.

With Operation Peace Spring, we will eliminate the terror threats
towards our country. With the SAFE ZONE we will establish, we will
provide the return of Syrian refugees to their countries. We will
protect the territorial integrity of Syria and save the region’s
people from the claws of terror."

Arab forces in the Syrian National Army.
