Erdogan: Unfortunately, the US patrols northern Syria with the YPG

65
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan commented on footage showing American troops with representatives of the Kurdish YPG forces in Hasek province - at one of Syria’s oil fields. Recall that the Military Review published these footage the day before. Also recall that in Turkey, the YPG is considered a terrorist organization. Erdogan previously stated that he had agreed with the United States that YPG / PYD would be withdrawn from the Turkish border into Syria.

Erdogan: Unfortunately, the US patrols northern Syria with the YPG




During today's press conference, Erdogan literally stated the following:

Unfortunately, the United States also patrols areas in conjunction with YPG / PYD. They should have left [the planned safe zone], but this never happened.

According to Erdogan, the US takes advantage of the fact that joint patrols with YPG by the Americans themselves are not defined as a violation of the agreement with Ankara.

At the same time, Turkish media publish footage from the territory of one of the bases previously belonging to the Syrian branch of the Kurdistan Workers Party. In stock weapon, which was recently delivered from the United States. This, in particular, is about US-made mortars and ammunition. In Turkey, they say that the transfer of weapons for the YPG was carried out through American military bases from Iraq.

    ..... Threw the United States, Erdogan, on Syrian oil .. Do not drink, Erdogan from a gratuitous oil source laughing Looking back at how much noise there was from different angles: the fight against terrorism, the fight against terrorism ... and under that noise the Americans took oil in Iraq under their wing, now in Syria, they can’t reach the Iranian ...

      The Turks merged again. As expected! Now there is reason for us to think. The Americans are already digging in there. For the Assad regime, this is very sad. In fact, he is left without money. But to sponsor and fight for it just so Russia is not in the hands. But you can’t leave him, otherwise a pro-American regime will be established there. And Russia's authority will suffer. Next in line will be Iran. And Israel, together with the Saudis and the Americans, will roll it out. What actions will be on the part of Russia, that’s the question. Confront the United States?

          Now the Turkish president, well aware of the importance of his country for both NATO partners and Moscow with its gas transit to Europe, invites competitors to compete with each other.
          The Kremlin is likewise bred along the S-400. Recall that the first stage of supply was successfully completed. Anti-aircraft systems sold for a Russian loan and promptly transferred to Turkey by Ruslan aircraft. But now Ankara was thinking about deferring supplies for the second batch. Now they are thinking about localizing the production of S-400

              Definitely not, Turkey still has a memory of the Ottoman Empire. But we constantly forget about it. Again, one must remember about their possible influence on the Tatars ..

        hi Denis, it is a pity that it is not possible to combine our comments into one, I completely agree with you ... And you cannot leave Syria and there is nothing else to do .. Confrontation with the United States? It's somehow hard to imagine. Is it something like, give back the Syrian oil, this is our production ... rrrrrr? .. Or such an option, to create some kind of "partisan" detachments that will fight with the United States, but the Americans will quickly declare them terrorists and it will be even "worse" ... And such a situation looms who is Russia's greatest friend? Assad or Erdogan? To further incite Erdogan, who is on his own mind, against the United States, at the expense of Syria, or further strengthen friendship with Assad, but against Turkey?

              Kurds are only interested in creating their own autonomy. They are already aware that both the USA and Russia are using them. You can read the stream of news articles in InOSMI. This whole war in Syria is just a game of interests. There they least think of Syria. And there is no nobility in this war. All of these al-Qaeda, ISIS, the Taliban are artificially created terrorist organizations. None of this would have happened if .......

      What are you about?! Kurds left 30 km. border zones without resistance (which is what the Turks wanted).

      Che Turks said we are afraid of Kurds, we will destroy. The answer is not a question, what is your interest, to divide the Kurdish communities.

      There was no need to destroy, the Kurds left themselves, seeing that the Americans had thrown them. We entered this zone (with the Turks). The Americans also left the "oil zone". !
      This is where we had to transfer the Syrians to guard the "neftezon" abandoned by the amers. But we believed that the Americans had left and calmed down, carried away by patrolling.

      Well, the states agreed, okay, we have a different interest in the current..

      Three days later, the Americans saw that their liberated zone was not occupied by the Syrians, the masters of the country, quickly retreated, sending 30 tanks and 500
      a soldier to "guard" the oil zone.
      Here is an obvious miscalculation of our General Staff.
      If a battalion of Syrians with a couple of dozen tanks and armored vehicles had been abandoned on the shoulders of the fleeing amers, the Americans would not have returned. To engage in hostilities with the Syrians on their land, the Americans would not. Yes hi

That is why our people sit on their butts in Khmeimim exactly and do not climb into those areas ..

    The Turkish army discovered an unexpected find in the territory conquered from the Kurds - 120 mm mines produced by the United States, which had previously been transferred by the Americans to the Kurdish forces as military assistance to the Middle Eastern ally. This "treasure" cast a shadow of doubt on the recently concluded agreement between the US and Turkey regarding the Kurds.

    A video with a Turkish army find appeared on Twitter of the Anadolu Turkish news agency, which clearly shows what the agreements with the Americans are worth. Https://twitter.com/i/status/1191348891469434882
