Turkey’s anti-terror fight in N Syria will continue “differently”: Erdoğan

Turkey will pursue a much more different struggle against the presence of the YPG/PKK terrorists in northern Syria due to the escalation of terrorist attacks in the region, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said, repeating his criticisms against the United States for supporting the YPG/PKK.

“The terrorists of the PKK, YPG and PYD are running wild in entire Syria, not only in the northern part. The leading supporters of them are the international coalition [which was formed against ISIL] and the U.S. These groups are terrorizing with all kinds of weapons, ammunition and equipment they are given by them,” Erdoğan told reporters in Istanbul on Oct. 15.

Turkey will fight against the terror organizations and the Syrian regime forces, the president said, adding, “We are determined to do so.”
