The US must choose between a terrorist organisation or Turkey, but not both

Under the direction of former President Barack Obama, the United States began supporting PKK's Syrian wing, YPG, and was designated a terrorist organization by the United States, the EU, and Turkey.

This fateful relationship was a source of tension between the United States and Turkey, two longtime allies and the first and second largest armies in NATO.

PKK launched a three-year armed campaign against the Turkish state, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths.

The nature of the YPG-US alliance has increased, particularly since 2014, when Washington sent military support to Kovani's YPG, tensions between Turkey and the United States increased. The group culminated in Turkey's operation to clean up the city in Afghanistan.

Ankara is growing concern as the YPG embolizes the United States by transferring weapons, military vehicles and training to its members.

Desi vs YPG

Before the United States allied with the YPG, it made an alliance with the Syrian rebel group, the Pre-Syrian Army (FSA).

But in 2014, the United States turned to supporting organizations with totalitarian Marxist ideology. This is an unthinkable move in that the United States fights to defeat the same worldview when it is spread by the Soviet Union.

The US move to support the terrorist movement in pursuit of Turkey's destruction also confirmed Ankara's worst fears. In addition to supporting YPG to defeat the dash, you can use groups instead of surrogate for Turkey.

Newsweek, citing US National Security Council officials, argued: In the area. "

The shameless proposal that long-time NATO allies and EU candidates can be mentioned in this way will not please many of Turkey's decision makers and will almost certainly diminish in political divisions.

It also raises questions about the United States 'understanding of Turkey's foreign policy priorities and national security goals, especially the preservation of citizens' lives.

Retired US diplomats suggested that past US relations were transactional.

“As an ambassador [James] Jeffrey said the US relationship with YPG is a deal in terms of conducting combat operations against Islamic countries. [Daesh]Ending with the defeat of ISIS [Daesh]Former US diplomat and non-resident of the Atlantic Council's Eurasian Center, Matthew Bryza, said earlier this year when talking to the TRT world.

The new YPG controlled territory includes most of the oil fields and two dams, providing Turkey with a three-year history of objections by providing access to modern weapons, such as the massive economic source that Turkey opposes and PKK, the umbrella organization of YPG. I could not imagine that.

Turkey's announcement of Turkey's entry into Syria is not driven by the need to undermine organizations trying to attack Turkey and undermine territorial integrity.
