ERDOGAN: WASHINGTON UNDERMINES NATO BY ARMING YPG

Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan said Washington’s support for the Kurdish YPG units in Syria violates the North Atlantic Treaty.

On Sunday Erdogan slammed Washington’s decision to start transferring small arms and vehicles to YPG (which Ankara calls ‘terrorist organization’ linked to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK)).

“Unfortunately, the countries we say are our allies, countries we consider friends see no problem in cooperating with terror organizations targeting Turkey’s unity,” Erdogan said.
