Türkiye has warned allied countries not to support the PKK/KCK/YPG terror groups for any reason, including the pretext of fighting Daesh/ISIS terrorism
Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar met with the former US Special Representative for Syria James Jeffrey.
The minister added that they have also been told to keep "terrorists away from their areas and to cut off all relations with terrorist organisations as soon as possible". Regarding the US statements on Türkiye's possible Syria ground operation, Akar said: "They asked us to reevaluate. We also explained our sensitivities and wanted the promises to be kept. We stressed that they should understand us."
After the air operation was launched on November 20, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also signalled a ground operation into northern Iraq and northern Syria to eliminate the terror threat.
