Erdogan has gone hysterical over terrorists’ defeat in Syria

Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has gone into hysterics over the terrorist groups’ defeat in Syria, not to mention the coming elections in Turkey with 95 percent of the Turkish people opposing his policy towards Syria.

Turkey along with Saudi Arabia and Qatar are backing terrorists that have killed a large number of Syrians, including a number of security and army personnel.

The” hero”!!

In this context, a historian from Washington told the Iranian Press TV, that Mr. Erdogan was told repeatedly by the US President in their telephone conversations that the Syrian Government would collapse like a house of cards and he could then emerge as the hero of that “regime change”.

” It would be like Tunisia, and Egypt, but that has not come true.” Dr. Webster Griffin Tarpley said.

Death squads

He sees that the Syrian Arab army has crushed the so called the “Free Syrian Army” to a very significant degree causing the erratic instability of Erdogan.”

“The so-called Syrian Free Army, which I call, death squads have now been shattered. It seems to me that they’ve now lost the initiative; they failed to conquer Damascus or Aleppo. They are defeated and that is why Erdogan is so hysterical, ” Dr. Tarpley said.

Istanbul Council

Talking about “Istanbul Council”, the historian stated that the “Syrian National Council” or “Istanbul council” has been broken up.

“You don’t hear anything about them (The SNC members), although they’re probably living in hotels somewhere,” the historian added.

Syria airbus

Regarding Turkey’s interception of the Syrian Air civilian plane on Wednesday, Dr. Tarpley said: “I guess Prime Minister Erdogan of Turkey will not be happy, if I have to quote a Greek tragedy, but the old saying is ‘whom gods will destroy, they first drive mad’.”

Turkey is now in a diplomatic row with Russia as the Syrian plane was transporting a legal shipment of radar equipment (not military weapons) from Moscow to Damascus.

So, Damascus has challenged the Turks to put the seized goods on public view.

The Syrian plane, forced to land at Ankara airport by Turkish air force F16 fighter jets on Wednesday evening, was carrying 35 passengers on board, including 17 Russians.
