Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan accused the U.S. of supplying more weapons to Kurdish fighters in northern Syria this week, saying Washington had delivered two plane loads of arms to what Ankara considers a terrorist group.
Mr. Erdogan’s comments are likely to add to the tension between Turkey and the U.S. over Syria, where Washington backs the Kurdish YPG forces against Islamic State (IS).
Turkey is part of the U.S.-led coalition against IS but views the Syrian Kurdish outfits as an extension of Kurdish militants who are waging an insurgency on its own soil. — Reuters
