#Erdogan [...] said he wanted to discuss the question of US troops in northeastern #Syria who are offering support to a Kurdish armed group that spearheaded efforts to oust ISIS militants in 2019.
“We will evaluate the issue of the withdrawal of US troops from Syria, and how they will end their support for terrorist organizations,” he said referring to the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (#YPG).
Ankara sees the YPG as an offshoot of the banned #PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) which has led a decades-long deadly insurgency against the Turkish state.
“I believe we will manage this through our personal contact,” said Erdogan who insisted he had “no difficulty communicating” with #Trump during his first term in office.
