After Çavuşoğlu’s statement, the U.S. Consulate General in Erbil (Hewler) in KRI issued a security alert warning its citizens not to travel to regions in northern Syria and Iraq on Friday.

Iraq: We are monitoring credible open-source reports of potential Turkish military action in northern Syria and northern Iraq in the coming days. We continue to strongly advise U.S. citizens to avoid these areas. More at https://t.co/QwIpwPB7RB pic.twitter.com/i9i8DeEQsp

The intense air strikes came a week after the 13 November bombing in Istanbul, which killed six people and injured dozens.

Turkey stated that the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the People’s Protection Units (YPG) organised the Istanbul bombing, however, the accused Kurdish groups condemned the attack targeting civilians and declared that they had no connection with the bombing.

After Turkey claimed that the AANES and its military wing SDF were connected with the bomber, the Department of Foreign Relations of the AANES also announced that it had no connection with the bomb attack and invited international forces to be involved in the investigation.

Saleh Muslim, the co-chair of the PYD said that Turkey’s bombing Kobani was an act of revenge for defeating ISIS.

The contradictions in the statements made by the Turkish authorities regarding the attack continue to be discussed by the Turkish public. Analysts and some opposition politicians argue that this attack was a conspiracy to legitimise Turkey’s military operations in Syria and to create pre-election fear in the public.

Turkey’s air strikes against the region continue.
