Turkey threatens to strike US troops embedded with Kurdish militias in Syria
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Ilnur Cevik, a senior aide to Turkish President Recep Erdogan, suggested Wednesday that US troops could be targeted by Turkish forces alongside Kurdish militias in Syria.
Cevik said that U.S. forces embedded with members of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) are in danger of being hit by Turkish forces patrolling the Syrian-Turkish border.
"If Kurdish militais “go too far, our forces would not care if American armor is there, whether armored carriers are there,” Cevik said during an interview on Turkish radio station CRI TURK Wednesday. “All of a sudden, by accident, a few rockets can hit them,” he said, referring to US forces."
Then, he once again clarified that US military advisers or artillery positions would be in danger from Turkish warplanes, if they continued to support YPG forces in northern Syria.
