From Erdogan says US creating ‘a pool of blood’ in region
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday accuses the United States of creating a “pool of blood” in the region by failing to recognize the main Syrian Kurdish organizations as terror groups.
“Hey America… As you have never recognized them (as terror groups) the region has turned into a pool of blood,” Erdogan says in a lacerating attack on US policy, referring to the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its People’s Protection Units (YPG) militia.
