We can directly say that the targeted country in the south is Turkiye. Because it is impossible to talk about a state, especially in the lands of Iraq and Syria. US military forces and commanders go to Iraq, visit Erbil and return without obtaining any permission from the central government. We have seen and experienced these examples many times.
Axar.az reports that retired Turkish intelligence colonel Coshgun Bashbug said these words while commenting on the recent helicopter crash in Iraq and the speculations surrounding it.
He said that calls against the United States have never been heard in Iraq.
"That's why talking about any state structure there is just a mockery of politics."
According to the colonel, a similar situation prevails in Syria:
"They have no reaction to what is happening, even if it is a little bit. The country that reacted is Turkiye. However, they also warn him to "leave the country". But we are the ones who protect their rights. For some reason it bothers them. Because they act according to the ideas of the owner abroad.
