When Turkey did it around the Syrian border it wasn’t for refugees the shit has already hit the fan and I’m guessing that the Turkish military saw a possibility for intervention either in the war itself or against the Kurdish groups in that region.

They cleared the minefield to be able to operate safely not because they were concerned for the safety of refugees.

Turkey’s border with Iran is mainly with the West Azerbaijan province (not to be confused with Azerbaijan the country) the demographics of that region are usually an Azeri majority or minority majority with a large Kurdish population as West Azerbaijan borders Iranian Kurdistan.

If Turkey is indeed clearing up minefields it’s probably again in perpetration to be able to stage military forces in the area rather than for humanitarian reasons.

I couldn’t find any reliable sources that anything of note is actually happening tho but this is also not something I would expect to even hit the major wire services.
