In the wake of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s announcement that a new invasion operation would be started soon against the Kurds in North and East Syria regions, the Ministry of Interior has sent a ‘mobilisation order’ to the cities and towns located along the border with Rojava.

The ‘mobilisation order’ titled “Measures to be taken in the scope of cross-border operation” has been sent primarily to the provincial and district gendarmerie commands, security directorates, AFAD (Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency) directorates, provincial immigration authorities, highways authorities, Turkish Red Crescent (Kızılay) branches, municipalities and district governorates in Mardin and Urfa.

The order of the Ministry is evaluated as a preparation for the invasion operation of the Turkish regime.
