Washington continuing support to Syrian Kurdish YPG
The United States continues to deliver assistance to the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday at a joint press conference with Emmanuel Macron, Sputnik news agency reported.
"Unfortunately, our friend from NATO, the United States, continues to deliver trucks and arms to the terrorists [YPG]. This is our source of concern… We will not allow to build a terrorist corridor in northern Syria that leads to the Mediterranean Sea. We will take all the necessary measures if there is such a threat," Erdogan said during the televised conference.
In late November, US President Donald Trump said in a telephone conversation with Erdogan that all US deliveries of weapons to the YPG would be halted.
