Although Turkey did not reach the full results that it targeted from the attacks of its military invasion called the “Spring of Peace” that started on October 9 in northern Syria, but Ankara is moving in the same way as during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, which left the island divided into two parts, one of which is pro-Turkey.
As the Turkish occupation began taking steps aimed at permanently remaining in those areas in proportion to its colonial goal of acquiring new lands and restoring lost lands, which it seeks to achieve from the first years of the outbreak of the Syrian crisis, according to the Turkish newspaper “Ahwal”.
In Al-Hasakah and Tal Abyad, Turkey set out to construct a border fence along the lines of what it had done in Afrin, with its relentless pursuit to change the demographic population through the settlement of the Muslim Brotherhood’s militants in the Kurdish areas in northern Syria.
Ankara was not satisfied with that but rather opened a number of schools, making the Turkish language the language of compulsory education, and appointing officials in the region, while the olives and olive oil grown in Afrin were put on the Turkish local market as if it was a local Turkish commodity.
Maps recently shown in the media of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) revealed that Turkey expanded beyond its borders, which were demarcated under the Treaty of Lausanne, and that it expanded to include Aleppo, Mosul, and even part of the territory of Greece and Bulgaria.
According to these maps, Turkey’s main and primary objective is not to establish a “temporary safe zone”, but to seize a certain part of the Syrian territory, and annex it to it, and this is not limited to the administration as it seeks to occupy the region from an economic and cultural point of view as well.
