State Department has evaded answer to question of supporting PKK/YPG

The United States firmly support its NATO ally, Turkey, in the struggle against the RSC, recognized by Washington with a terrorist organization.

This was said by the representative of the State Department of the United States Vedante Patel, answering the question of Anadol’s question regarding the statement of the Foreign Minister of Turkey Hakan Fidan. The head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry said earlier that the organizers of the recent terrorist attack in Ankara arrived from Syria, having previously completed training there.

“The USA is firmly supported by our NATO ally of Turkey and the Turkish people in the struggle against the RSC, which was recognized as the United States of a foreign terrorist organization,” he said.

At the same time, Patel did not comment on the connection of the RSC with her Syrian branch of YPG. “We do not have sufficient information to confirm the accuracy of these specific statements. In this case, there is nothing to offer,” he said, in particular, he.

He also refrained from the answer to the question of whether the threats emanating from the RSC and YPG for Turkey and the US position on this topic, “individual situations.” “The situation is this. I’m not here to change the old US policy,” said the representative of the State Department.

At the same time, he added that the United States recognizes the “threat of security that the RSC poses for Turkey.”

The representative of the State Department also did not follow a clear answer to the question whether the YPG was a threat to Turkey, the diplomat answered. “I have no security assessment on this topic that I could imagine,” he said.
