Get the #$%! outJust a simple Fall back would be nice <| sep |> I don ' t think so especially the big push to promote integration among the two practices . But it varies by officeregion I would think . <| sep |> So it doesn ' t , but it does ? Don ' t really understand what you are meaning . Agreement itself doesnt give a legal basis to invadeit actually says nothing about if you break agreement iirc , but knowing how agreement was signed TSK massing forces on border , ready to invade Turkish ultimatum it can be used as a legal basis to attack YPG without any possible objections from Syrian regime as long as YPG doesnt break their affilation with PKK . Read it . m a d e b y i s m a i l c e m f o r e i g n m i n i s t e r o n t h e s p e c i a l s e c u r i t y m e e t i n g h e l d b e t w e enturkeyandsyriabroctober 201998 brunofficialtranslationp . en . mfaBasically my understanding is that Turkish government is trying to claim that they are entitled invade any country that harbors PKK or affiliated groups . Not exactly true . For Syria , Turkey has legal basis , Adana Agreement other than Article 51 . For other countries , if you harbor them and if they use your country as a passage to attack Turkey , Article 51 gives enough legality . You will notice Turkey only reacts if you are neutralpositive towards PKK and if they use your country as a base . You wont see Turkey threatening Iran , they also have PKK groups PJAK active . Meanwhile in Iraq , Iraqi MPs and government workers and PMU have open positiveneutral views towards PKK one of the MPs suggested they should recognize PKK as a official militia or something like that . They do nothing towards stopping PKK , they have no will to do , and they complain if Turkey does something to stop PKK . Syria is another mess . In world of international law , Turkey have right to ask sovereign country Syria to allow it ' s troops in , or go to UN Security Council to get authorisation to act . Not if theyPKK are attacking from your side of the border or escaping there . Iraqcrossborderraids 19971997 Turkey doesn ' t have any authorisation from UNSC to attack SDFYPG and since it ' s operating in Syrian territory , its actions in this case are pretty obviously illegal . See first paragraph of this answer .
