Erdogan feels ‘uneasy’ about US support for Kurds
2017-08-24
[Iran Press TV] Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
has used a meeting with US Defense Secretary James Mattis to relay his disappointment with Washington over its support for Kurdish groups in Syria, sources say.

In a meeting in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
’s capital Ankara on Wednesday, Erdogan told the visiting Pentagon chief that the ongoing military cooperation between the US and the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) made him feel "uneasy," Ottoman Turkish presidential sources said.

Ankara views the YPG as a terror organization linked to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), a myrmidon group that has been fighting the central Ottoman Turkish government since 1984.

While the US acknowledges the YPG’s connection to the PKK, it also deems the group as an important element in the ongoing fight against the ISIS terror group in Syria.

Over the past months, Washington has been purportedly assisting the Kurdish group in its fight against ISIS turbans controlling Syria’s Raqqah, the group’s main bastion in the conflict-ridden country.
