NATO Ally Erdogan Accuses United States of Training "Terrorists" to Attack Turkey

U.S. forces must withdraw from Syria, according to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who presented a united front with Russia and Iran while accusing the United States of training Kurdish forces “to commit a terrorist act” against his country.

“You see that the American (military) staff there train members of the terrorist organization (YPG/PKK),” Erdogan said, according to Turkish state media. “Their job is to commit a terrorist act against the Turkish soldiers there. Here, too, they think if they are deceiving the Turkish army by waving the regime's flag there. We won't be fooled.”

Erdogan paired that provocative charge with an announcement that he has aligned with Russia and Iran in demanding that U.S. forces leave eastern Syria—an exit that would deliver a major victory to Moscow and Tehran.
