Is that why Turkey tossed open the borders to flood the EU with invaders?

If Syria wants to drive an invading army from their country then i wish them success.
we should understand that removing a despot does not automatically lead to milk and honey.
Erdogan asked Putin “to get out of the way” and let the Turkish troops deal with Syrian President Bashar Assad, the Turkish leader told his AK Party on Saturday.
Erdogan was explaining to lawmakers his government’s handling of the escalation in the northwestern Syrian province of Idlib, where Turkish and Syrian troops have engaged in several clashes over the past weeks. The hostilities have all but ruined Turkey’s 2018 agreement with Russia on de-escalating the violence in the area, which remains the last major stronghold of anti-government forces in Syria.
Describing his phone conversation with Putin, Erdogan said if Russia’s interest in Syria was to keep a military presence there, Turkey, a NATO member, does not object to it.
I asked Mr Putin: What's your business there? If you establish a base, do so but get out of our way and leave us face to face with the regime.
The Turkish president said he expects the international community and NATO in particular to support his country in the fight against the Assad government.
He claimed Turkey’s incursion into Syria was made by invitation “from the Syrian people” and that Ankara is not interested in territorial expansion or capturing Syrian oil. The latter remark seems like a veiled jab at US President Donald Trump, who said “securing the oil” in eastern Syria was a major achievement of the US troops deployed there.

ROFL, no turkey did not bombard Syrian positions to that extent. They were denied use of the airspace by Russia after asking for permission to fly drones over idlib.

I am only getting the option for Russian captions, not English. How do you see them in English??
Syria's SANA news agency confirmed the fighters were hit over Idlib, but said no one was hurt in the attack. The pilots used parachutes and landed safely, it added.
i fully expect a false flag to draw in NATO by Turkey when Idlib is being close to liberated
