Letter Published in The National UAE on 13 Oct 19. Turkish incursion will lead to more chaos and instability in SyriI write to you in reference to your article Turkey presses assault on Syria’s Kurds as thousands flee the fighting (October 10): the latest twist in the Syrian civil war is certain to have dire consequences, not just for the country but for the region and perhaps even the world.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s decision to send troops into north-eastern Syria has been met with worldwide condemnation. If little is done to stop the further incursion, more lives will be lost and many more people will be left homeless and seeking refuge in other countries.As the story says, there is also a very serious threat of terrorist cells such as ISIS taking advantage of this chaos and flourishing once again, despite the fact it has not been long since its so-called caliphate was destroyed.K Ragavan, Bengaluru
