Turkish President Erdogan issued a strong warning to the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia, threatening to eliminate them if they don't disarm. He views the YPG as a terrorist organization linked to the PKK and a threat to Turkey's security, criticizing US support for the YPG. Simultaneously, Turkey is seeking closer ties with the Syrian government, potentially collaborating on military action against Kurdish groups. This shift represents a significant change in Turkey's foreign policy, potentially impacting its relationship with the US and the ongoing conflict in Syria. The YPG, meanwhile, advocates for a ceasefire and an end to Turkish incursions.
