Brawl Erupts In Turkish Parliament Over Syria Military Action by panafrican(m): 11:06am On Mar 05, 2020
If forces opposing Turkey's s intervention in Libya start striking Turkish troops there , Erdogan will get the message. He might even be overthrown in a military coup .

Fighting broke out in Turkey's parliament after an MP criticised President Erdogan over the country's military intervention in Syria.

Engin Ozkoc, an opposition lawmaker, accused the president of disrespecting soldiers.

He also said it was irresponsible to send troops into war without air support.

President Erdogan has been equally scathing of the opposition, accusing them of "treachery".

Turkey is providing military support to rebels in Syria.

But more than 50 Turkish troops have been killed in the last month, fueling political tensions.

As for Syria, I believe Erdoğan is in a rather difficult situation. I see a man trying to do just about anything to prevent refugees from flooding into his country. And that is asides other reasons as to why he is propping the anti-Assad forces.

But as we can see and as I suspected earlier on, Syria, with Russia's cooperation, is proving a difficult parade for Erdoğan. It could yet provide bigger problems for him. 33 soldiers in just one strike by the Syrian forces. Can you imagine that?

As for Libya, I believe it will be no different. Haftar is no push-over. That's a veteran of one of Africa's toughest wars(talking about the Chadian/Libyan War) and he's got several foreign allies too.

Turkey is also involved in Somalia. Maybe very few remember that because Somalia isn't giving them so many headaches as Syria.

If you ask me, Erdoğan should relax a bit. The warning signs are beginning to appear.

***And yeah, I saw that video too. The punches were almost flying.
