Turkey’s Border Wall with Syria
Yes, Turkey has built a good sized, height and length, wall on it's border with Syria. I've mentioned this reality on several occasions. Turkey began construction more then a year ago..
Where there is no wall, there will be trenches or massive barbed wire fences. Claims that Turkey has done nothing to secure it's borders just don't ring true . As I've stated once Turkey began tightening border security the US and company began airdropping arms to KurdIShIS. Or arms were brought into Syria via Iraq. Both of these truths ignored to continue pushing a simplistic narrative-
Truth Exists
Flashback: November 13: 2015 Sinjar: Creating a Crucial Supply Route for KurdIShIS & Annexing Iraqi Territory
Briefly- Turkey has been cutting off KurdIShIS supply lines for a while now- Covered previously at the blog. This is most likely the reason we recently had reports of the US dropping tons of arms to Kurdish militias in Syria.
Sadly, simplistic memes rule no matter how incorrect they may be. Still we can connect the beginning of airdrops to Kurdish terrorists PKK/YPG and the smuggling through Iraq with the increased security at the Turkish border
Speaking of simplistic memes..... Kurds: Betrayers Are Often Betrayed- Victims of and Parties to Conflict
Truth Exists, it's based in reality. Below is some reality.
...
Within this framework, Turkey has erected a 239-kilometer-long (148.5 miles) fixed concrete wall at the border with Syria and is planning to build another one, 207-km-long (128.6 miles).
Concrete wall for more then half of the border
Turkey shares a 900-km-long (559 miles) border with Syria, which has been involved in a civil war since 2011. Separately, the set-up of 49 km (30.4 miles) of barbed wire, 72 km (44.7) of a trellis fence, and a 61-km barrier (37.9 miles) of razor accordion-wire has also been completed.
The Turkish Army has also dug a 401-km (249 miles) ditch and built an 86-km-long (53.4 miles) embankment as well as completed a 4-km (2.4 miles) shear wall.
It has also completed the construction of 57 concrete watchtowers at the border regions in the Gaziantep and Kilis provinces and has modernized many existing towers with day-and-night surveillance systems.
Turkish army troops have completed the construction of 85 km (52.8 miles) and improved 1,892 km (1175.6 miles) of roads, and ameliorated lighting on 422 km (262 miles) of the border.
In line with demands, authorities have declared temporary military security zones in 47 regions, while one region was declared a special security zone.
I live quite near the US/Canada border. There is nothing like what is mentioned above going on in Niagara....
