Analysts say Erdogan is taking advantage of the war in Ukraine to push his own agenda in Syria, but an incursion by Ankara would be risky, threatening to upset its ties with both the United States and Russia.

Erdogan last month outlined plans to resume Turkish efforts to create a 30-kilometer (19-mile) deep buffer zone in Syria, along its southern border through a cross-border incursion against US-allied Syrian Kurdish fighters. Erdogan wanted to create that zone in 2019 but a military operation fell short of achieving it.

"We'll come down on them suddenly one night. And we must," Erdogan said, without giving a specific timeline.
