Erdogan has warned of a possible third attack on Syrian Kurds in the northeast.

Andrew Parasiliti, head of the Al-Monitor website and a Middle East analyst, believes Erdogan's threat is tied to the US presidential election, in which Erdogan’s friend Donald Trump and Joe Biden are vying for a new US administration.

He recalled in his article that Erdogan had previously attacked the Kurds under the green light of current US President Donald Trump, and that the two have a direct and friendly relationship.

"Joe Biden may take a hard line on Erdogan and Turkey if he wins the election," Parasiliti wrote, referring to some of the criticisms leveled at Turkey by Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
