ANKARA, Turkey — President Recep Tayyip Erdogan slammed the United States Tuesday for ordering US soldiers to conduct patrols with a Syrian Kurdish militia, whom Ankara regards as terrorists, and for reimposing what he called “imperialist” sanctions on Iran.
Speaking to legislators of the ruling Justice and Development Party in the parliament building, Erdogan said US military patrols with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) along the Syrian-Turkish border “can cause serious negative developments.”
