Ah, just like Saddam wanted to do - resettle Sunni Arabs in Kurdish areas.
Turkey has on many occasion expressed that it aims to settle up to 2 million Syrian refugees in the zone, and has repeatedly warned of unilateral military action if it is not satisfied with progress.

No, Turkey attacked what they thought were Kurdish troops in a Kurdish held area.
What are you upset about? Do you WANT there to be an intercine NATO war? The Left, you don't want Trump nagging NATO to spend more money, but you want NATO members to fight each other? WTF is wrong with you people? The TDS is strong with News-weak.
"Newsweek has learned through both an Iraqi Kurdish intelligence official..."
Who obviously has no bias...

Speaking at the opening of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party)'s annual camp in Ankara, Erdoğan said Turkey aimed to "water the east of Euphrates with fountains of peace" and settle refugees there.
Turkey has on many occasion expressed that it aims to settle up to 2 million Syrian refugees in the zone, and has repeatedly warned of unilateral military action if it is not satisfied with progress.
"Turkey saw that land and air patrols with the U.S. were a tale; we've made our preparations, we've completed our operation plans, given the necessary instructions," he said, adding that Turkey would carry out air and ground actions as soon as today or tomorrow."
"We gave all warnings to our interlocutors regarding the east of Euphrates and we have acted with sufficient patience," he asserted.
Turkish and U.S. military officials agreed on Aug. 7 to set up a safe zone which Turkey says should stretch 30 km (19 miles) into Syria and be cleared of the People's Protection Units (YPG) terrorists, which is the PKK's Syrian wing, as well as to develop a peace corridor to facilitate the movement of displaced Syrians who want to return to their homeland.
Turkish leaders have said the U.S. is not doing enough and is moving too slow in establishing the zone.
Syrian opposition forces have so far supported a potential cross-border offensive by Ankara in northeast Syria. On Friday, they united under the Defense Ministry and pledged their support to Turkey.
Turkey currently hosts some 3.6 million Syrian refugees, more than any other country in the world. Ankara has so far spent $40 billion for the refugees, according to official figures.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU — has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
