Abstract

[This chapter will concentrate upon Turkish military interventions in Syria or direct support to Opposition or Islamist forces fighting the Syrian Army and Kurdish militia. However, the interventions have never been represented as directly touching “Syrian Armenian” areas, although they did. The rationale behind the chapter is to look at the way Turkish operations became for Syrian Armenians and Armenian media the materialization of the Turkish Factor, for this is what emerged from secondary data and interviews. The three operations (Euphrates Shield, in the area around Jarabulus; Olive Branch, in the area around Afrin and Peace Spring, in the areas of Tell Abyad and Ras al-Ayn) were meant to expel Kurdish armed groups from these areas. Seen from a Syrian Armenian perspective they took a different shape, an additional meaning.]
