China itself does not rely on their own system so they procured Russian long range SAM batteries at times when Turkey and China were negotiating to finalize possible conditions for a likely deal. Canalising to Russian system while having your own make Chinese systems untrustable/inferior in costumer's mind. How can China hope to secure a deal with a state like Turkiye, while China itself is seeking foreign off the shelf system for own homeland security? so Turkey reached a perfect decision to escape from Chinese bog and developed a clever tactic not to hurt feeling of our chinese friends. Our side pretended disagrements regarding the share of technology between states and the program was cancelled by Turkiye so they have a tail pain in this issue as well. At present, Turkiye is preparing to introduce domestic long range surface to air missile which is going to be superior than Chinese system offered to Turkiye in cancelled tender.

Which deal?

Erdogan: Turkey to launch military operation in northeastern Syria

05.10.2019

Turkey will launch an air and ground military operation in Syria in the next two days in a region east of the Euphrates mainly held by US-backed Kurdish militia that Ankara considers terrorists, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday.

"We have made our preparations; we have finalized our operation plans, given the necessary instructions," Erdogan told members of his ruling party at its annual camp.

It is Erdogan's most concrete suggestion of a military intervention in the region since Ankara and Washington decided to establish a "safe zone" on the Syrian border that Turkey says should be cleared of the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia.

Ankara sees the YPG as linked with a Kurdish insurgency within Turkey and wants Washington to stop its support for them. Washington, in its turn, sees the Kurdish forces as vital in the fight against the extremist "Islamic State" group.

Missed deadline

Erdogan had given a deadline of the end of September for the 30-kilometer-deep (19-mile-deep) zone to be established, warning that if it were not kept, Turkey would be "forced" to take military action for its own security. Turkey has accused the US of being too slow in setting up the zone, amid differences between the two NATO partners about how far it should reach into Syria and who should control it.

Ankara has said it wants to use the region to settle up to 2 million Syrian refugees of the 3.6 million it currently hosts, according to government figures.

The Kurdish YPG militia that currently controls the region was instrumental in defeating fighters from the extremist "Islamic State" group in Syria alongside American troops.

According to the Reuters news agency, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said on Saturday they would "not hesitate to turn any unprovoked (Turkish) attack into an all-out war."
