Chomsky: Turkey commits a crime by sending troops to Syria
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Famed American philosopher Noam Chomsky in an interview with the Turkish Birgun newspaper said people in the Kurdish Rojava canton and the Syrian regime will be harmed the most if the Turkish government decides to militarily enter Syria.He added that a Turkish military operation against Syria would be a crime and undermine the forces battling the Islamic State.
“I hope the entire world would condemn such an operation if it took place,” said Chomsky.
Chomsky also commented on the possible creation of a Turkish buffer zone within Syrian territory. He said that this option is technically possible, but “would greatly harm the people of Rojava who are fighting against the evil forces of ISIS.”
He added that such an operation would additionally harm the forces of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.
