Türkiye has accused the US of establishing a "terrorist state" on its border with Syria, referring to its support to the Kurdish People's Defense Units (YPG), which is the largest component of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Washington's ally in the war against ISIS.
Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said the US was forming a "terrorist state" near the border, stressing that the risk of establishing such a state remains as long as Washington was actively involved in the region.
