	ANKARA - Defining Turkey's attacks on Northern and Eastern Syria as a "conspiracy", Prof. Dr. Cengiz Aktar criticized the silence on the situation and said: "When it comes to hitting the Kurds, there is a domestic and national consensus."

	 

	Northern and Eastern Syria, which is the target of AKP President Tayyip Erdoğan, was bombed with warplanes on November 20. In addition to Turkey's attacks on Northern and Eastern Syria, 4 rockets were fired into Dilok's Karkamış district. In the said attack, 3 civilians lost their lives and 6 civilians were injured. The AKP-MHP media claimed that the rockets were launched by the YPG, although the Celabrus region, located opposite Carchemish, is under the control of Turkey and paramilitary forces under its auspices.

	 

	After the attack on Dilok, the words of National Intelligence Organisation (MIT) Head Hakan Fidan about the Syrian civil war came to the fore again. Fidan said: “If necessary, I will send four men to Syria. I will fire 8 missiles at Turkey and produce a justification for war.”

	 

	Professor at the University of Athens. Dr. Cengiz Aktar evaluated the attacks on Northern and Eastern Syria, and the attitude of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the European Union (EU) towards the said attacks.

	 

	'DOMESTIC AND NATIONAL CONSENSUS HAS ESTABLISHED'

	 

	Reminding that "The game does not end in the Ottoman Empire," Aktar said: "The Turkish Republic's administrators are attacking many regions, especially Rojava and Kobanê, as a 'scenario', using the attack in Taksim as an excuse. Not only the masses and individuals who are sensitive to this issue, but also the opposition said that the attack and situation in question was an 'open conspiracy'. Now the water is gone. The woman says I have nothing to do with the YPG and the Kurdish movement. Her relatives say similar things, everyone who talks about it says that it may be the work of Arab gangs in Syria, backed by Turkey. The bombs that fell on Rojava on the night of November 20 support that it is the conspiracy. 31 people died but no condolences, nobody cares. The government is already a passenger on that road, but no one is making a sound from the opposition either. Therefore, a domestic and national consensus was formed again. When it came to the Kurds, shooting the Kurds, the domestic and national crowd became one punch. It will continue in this way.”

	 

	'ELECTION MAY BE DELAYED ON THE STATE OF WAR'

	 

	Stating that the persecution and oppression experienced in the area on the borders of Syria and Turkey, where the war continues, is at the highest level, and that a kind of curfew has been imposed in the region, Aktar said: "The whole question is whether these air strikes will turn into a ground attack. In my opinion, it will not get there, because Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the regime have no money to fight. They want to use the money they beg from right and left for elections. A repetition of the bombing massacres of 2015 may not be on the agenda in this election, but it is not obvious;however, the election may be postponed by declaring a state of war in accordance with Article 58 of the Constitution.
