HDP: Turkey intervention possibly 'biggest irreversible mistake' so far

The pro-Kurdish People's Democracy Party (HDP) said that parliament has not been informed thus far about the Turkish Armed Forces' operations in northern Syria against the Islamic State group.

"This decision is Erdogan and the AKP piling on mistake after mistake in its Syria policy and will perhaps will be the biggest irreversible mistake as far as the region’s people are concerned," said HDP parliamentary group leader Idris Baluken.

He also warned the operations would drag Turkey deeper into the Syrian war.
