Turkey’s anti-terrorist operations “kill two birds with one stone” by targeting regional rivals alongside striking ISIL, a member of the French legislative defense commission told Sputnik on Wednesday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik), Svetlana Alexandrova – Turkey launched a two-pronged campaign this summer in neighboring Iraq and Syria following a series of deadly attacks, attributed both to Kurdish militants and the Islamic State (IS) jihadist group.
“We all know that Turkey is trying to ‘kill two birds with one stone,'” Nicolas Dhuicq said. “Their airstrikes are aimed not only at IS. They are trying to gain access to oil fields of the Iraqi Kurdistan and to strike at [Syrian President Bashar] Assad’s forces and the Kurds in Syria and Turkey.”
