@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel .@NBCNews viewers will never be able get the facts about the ongoing situation in Syria as @RichardEngel works literally embedded w/ YPG, PKK offshoot in Syria, both are hostile to NATO member Turkey. Here are the facts that #NBC viewers will never see through Engel. Thread
@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel @NBCNews 1) PKK/YPG, which Engel presents as “Kurds” is just a fraction w/ violent marxist-leninist ideology. They are basically commies representing only the 5% of the Syrian Kurds. Calling them “Kurds” is like claiming KKK is “Americans”.
@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel @NBCNews 2) While the Turkish army fully complies with the deal cut with the US for the facilitation the Peace Corridor, PKK/YPG terrorists continue to make violations in the #OperationPeaceSpring area,,carrying out multiple attacks with mortar, car bombs and drones.
@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel @NBCNews 3) Turkish troops continue to disable IEDs&mines placed by PKK/YPG terrorists.988 IEDs&443 mines have been identified and disabled in civilian areas, including in schools, under bridges until now. 50 anti-tank mines were found in a school. Remember these are US’ “best allies”.
@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel @NBCNews 4) Engel’s “Kurds” keep targeting innocent civilians using the same methods as ISIS. Most recently PKK/YPG terrorists detonated a car bomb in the Al-Bab bus terminal in the #OperationEuphratesShield area, killing 10 civilians and injuring more than 15.
@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel @NBCNews 5) While in Engel’s “Kurdish” controlled area an Armenian Catholic Church priest killed in a terrorist attack by PKK/YPG, Turkey renovated an Armenian church and now reopened to worship.
@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel @NBCNews 6) 170.000 of 200.000 displaceds after Turkey’s operations returned their homes safely. Around 400.000 Kurds fled Syria are being hosted as refugees in Turkey while Turkey is by far the largest refugee hosting nation in the world for years.
@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel @NBCNews 7) Despite efforts by so-called journalists like Engel, latest Gallup International Survey in #Syria shows :
✅ favorable view in Syria for Turkey 55%, International Coalition against ISIS 24%,Russia 14%,the US 10% & Iran 6%

@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel @NBCNews 8)
✅ 57% support Turkish military ops
✅ Many KURDS in Syria are ideologically at odds with the YPG as they see the PYD/YPG as collaborators w/ Assad.

@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel @NBCNews And finally, what Engel does not tell the NBC viewers is that, Turkey is the ONLY COUNTRY which has a plan to help Syrian refugees and IDS return their homes safely, while the EU and the US just make fancy clueless speeches.
