Turkey says US information on arms support to YPG ‘contradicting’

arms support provided by the Pentagon to the Syrian Kurds
The Turkish government is dissatisfied with the information provided by the United States with regards to the content, purpose, deadline and transparency of arms support provided by the Pentagon to the Syrian Kurds, according to assessments made in Ankara.


Turkey is not convinced on explanations made by Washington on the four aspects of its military support to the YPG, and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan wants to hold another phone conversation soon with his American counterpart Donald Trump, according to sources.

“If the U.S. argues that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant [ISIL] is declining, and the threat is minimized, we tell them that the Pentagon continuing cooperation with the YPG is a mistake. We tell them continuing ammunition support to the YPG is also a mistake. This cooperation should not continue for one more day,” a Foreign Ministry official has said on condition of anonymity.

Ankara is not satisfied with the U.S. explanation that the cooperation with the YPG is “temporary,” the official noted.
