Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 13
By Rufiz Hafizoglu – Trend:
The provision of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) terrorists with financial assistance worth $500 million by the US may completely break off relations between Ankara and Washington, the Turkish media quoted the country’s Deputy Prime Minister Hakan Cavusoglu as saying Feb. 13.
Cavusoglu added that the US must cooperate on all issues with Turkey, rather than with terrorists.
"Unfortunately, the US has not changed its positions with regard to terrorists in Syria, and Washington continues to render military assistance to PYD terrorists," Cavusoglu said.
On Jan. 20, the Turkish Armed Forces, together with the Free Syrian Army, launched the Operation Olive Branch in Afrin, Syria.
F-16 fighters of the Turkish Air Force are involved in the operation, inflicting strikes on the positions of PYD/YPG on the Syrian-Turkish border.
