Erdoğan questions increasing US military buildup in northern Syria
ANKARA
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Nov. 21 questioned the increasing U.S. military buildup in northern Syria to the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) militia.
“Why are trucks loaded with weapons coming to northern Syria? Which country are you preparing this armament against?” Erdoğan said during the ruling Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) parliamentary meeting, adding that there was a different motive behind it and Turkey would take steps accordingly.
“No one should expect Turkey to sit back with its hands tied in the face of scenarios regarding its future,” he said.
