Turkey’s recent Military Operations in Syria and Iraq

I have asked here before, why is Turkey still a member of NATO. If any NATO member engages in external military operations, the membership should either be suspended or be qualified. What to do about such military operations carried out by  the U.S. is another question.

Turkey's military operations in Syria and Iraq could potentially get the whole NATO activated. What is also concerning here is that they are about the Kurdish issue. The treatment of the Kurds by Turkey alone would suggest a review of NATO membership.

"... In Syria, Turkey conducted three mili­tary operations (in 2016, 2018, and 2019) that specifically aimed to prevent the for­ma­tion of politically autonomous regions along the Turkish border controlled by the Kurdish-dominated YPG militants. ... "

" ...Turkey has a long history of cross-border operations inside Iraqi territory that goes back to the 1990s. ...
As of 2019, Turkey had changed strategy and started to seek area control with opera­tions ... Since then, Turkey has maintained a permanent military presence in Northern Iraq that is sustained by a much larger chain of military bases and smaller forward-operation posts along the Iraqi-Turkish border. While numbers are hard to verify, open sources indicate that Turkey has a permanent deployment of 5,000–10,000 soldiers in Iraqi territory. ..."

Turkey’s Military Operations in Syria and Iraq - Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik In the early hours of 18 April, Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) launched a military opera­tion inside Northern Iraq dubbed Claw-Lock. Simultaneously, Turkey intensified its military activities in Syria. Furthermore, on 23 May, President Tayyip Erdoğan an­nounced that Turkey will soon start a new military operation in Syria. These moves reflect Turkey’s new military strategy, based on area control, against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). So far, this new approach has yielded military success. How­ever, it is precisely military success that is reinforcing the tendency to deal with the Kurdish problem only in terms of security and military solutions and to rule out any long-term political solution to the problem. Europe should continue to support efforts towards seeking a solution that also addresses the political dimensions of the problem.
