Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the United States to support its NATO partner as it prepares to expand military operations against the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the United States today to “show respect” to Turkey as it prepares to expand an offensive against a Kurdish militia deeper into Syria after the swift capture of one of its strongholds in the war-torn country’s northwest.
The Turkish military and members of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) aligned with it took the city of Afrin on Sunday, capping a two-month operation to repulse the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) from a province on Turkey’s border.
