The Turkish government has asked the U.S. to stop arming Kurds in Syria, and warned the Syrian government against involvement in Turkey's offensive against Kurds in Syria. Turkish officials spoke Monday in response to news reports that Damascus plans to send pro-government militias to Afrin in northern Syria to help the Kurds fight off a Turkish offensive.
The Kurds have been a very good asset in defeating ISIS. Turkey is treading on water asking the US not to support the Kurds. For me I would arm the Kurds and the Syrian Freedom fighters. Turkey should be kicked out of NATO for threatening another NATO nation. A Kurdish sovereign state should be established. With Rex Tillerson out, maybe things will change, Turkey needs to answer to us and compromise. This is one area where we need to back off from Syria and let them go at Turkey.
