In another 2019 TV footage, Bulu answered a question regarding the consequences of Turkey's continued military operations near the town of Rojava in northeastern Syria as follows: "Well, Turkey is already quite experienced on this issue: we were involved in city wars before during the Euphrates Shield and Olive Branch operations and also in Diyarbakır and Nusaybin. We are trained in this area. Therefore, there would be a similar city war and we would capture the ones there probably dead or alive, so there is nothing new. Because the periphery of the city is already surrounded, they don’t have a chance of fleeing from there. Only the duration will be longer but we would have the benefit of testing our new weapons."
