You referring BBC as a safe source. I offer you to watch this whole video. You may see how prejudiced BBC is.

I see a pro-Turkey bias. They let a guy go on there from the Turkish government and push his propaganda, mostly unchecked. They didn't have anyone from the YPG giving their side.

There was a similar operation last year, was it genocide? Please, that is not a light word you should throw around without any evidence. I am always disgusted by censorship, but thankfully there are many other channels of information out there. Also you know that Turkey is home of at least 15 million Kurds already.

Maybe ethnic cleansing is a slightly better term then genocide, though they fall under the same umbrella. The BBC is reporting that it's a possibility: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-50004203
