Operation Olive Branch will be conducted swiftly and will aim to create 30-kilometer-deep safe zones in Syria's Afrin, Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım told reporters Sunday.

Speaking to reporters in Istanbul, the prime minister said that the main goal of the operation is to ensure security in Turkey and that the operation would be conducted in four phases.

He referred to earlier reports of rockets, which were fired from People's Protection Units (YPG)-held territory in Syria and targeted Turkey's southeastern Kilis province.

Yıldırım said that six rockets have been fired from YPG-held territory, injuring two people in Kilis.

The prime minister noted that Turkish ground units have entered Syria's Afrin as of 11:05 Sunday morning. He highlighted that there are around 8,000 to 10,000 terrorists in Afrin and that Turkey is determined to clear all terrorists in the area.

"We're extending an olive branch to innocent people," Yıldırım said, adding that the operation aims to ensure security in the region by cleaning out terrorists, who pose a threat to Turkey and civilians in the area.

Meanwhile, Yıldırım also said that the U.S., which supports the YPG-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), has not shown an antagonistic stance regarding the operation, and Iran has also not opposed it but has expressed some concerns. He added that Turkey has also informed the Syrian regime through Russia and Iran.

When asked about the military's actions in case the U.S. provides logistic support to YPG terrorists, the prime minister said: "Any kind of logistic support is our target."

The prime minister added that Turkey's economy will not be affected by the operation in Syria's Afrin and will continue to grow strongly.

Turkish Armed Forces backed by armored vehicles, special forces and infantry regiments advanced 5 kilometers (3 miles) inside Afrin as part of Operation Olive Branch, according to Anadolu Agency report.

During the movement, no major clashes took place

1923`ün ılık bir ekim sabahında
Kayaların toprağa dikine saplandığı yerde doğdum
Toprak anayla kaya babanın oğluyum ben
Toprak anam sevgi dolu, bereket dolu
Toprak anam sessiz, ama toprak anam dopdolu
Toprak anam toprak anam Anadolu
Babamsa sağı solu belli olmaz
Bir gürledimi yer yerinden oynar
Göğsünde çatırdamalar olurmuş
Onun için derdi, onun için sayısız irili ufaklı
Kaya parçaları vardır bu topraklarda
Ve sen benim oğlum
Ve sen kayaların oğlu
Bu taşı toprağı birarada tutacaksın
Kolay değil kayaların oğlu olmak
Kuzeyden esen rüzgara Güneyden gelen kavurucu sıcağa
Karşı koruyacaksın onları
Kolay değil, kolay değil
Kayaların oğlu olmak
2023`ün ılık bir ekim sabahında
Bacaklarımda hafif bir uyuşma ile uyandım
Ve sankı yüz yıllık ulu bir çınar gibi
Kök salmaya başladım o sabah
Ve ilk kez sağımda solumda asırlardır
Durmakta olan diğer çınarları farkettim
Doğudan hafif bir seher yeli yükseldi
Ve asırlık çınarlar benide aralarına aldılar
Ve 2023`ün ılık bir ekim sabahında
Yeni bir kayaların oğlunun doğuşunu
Beraberce seyre koyulduk...

Its a fantastic move by Turkey. Its the right time for Turkey to put its troops into northern Syria. The sneaky US wanted to train 30 thousand terrorist PKK fighters as border security guards. Now Turkey knows the true intentions of the US - its desire to destabilize and destroy the republic of Turkey. Its good that Putin is reasonable and understands why Turkey needs to go in and destroy the PKK inside Syria.
