People’s Protection

Turkey and the United States are set to hold a high-level military dialogue in Ankara on Dec. 11 to discuss an ongoing row over the U.S.’s alliance with the People’s Protection Units (YPG).

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım has once again criticized the United States’ ongoing alliance with the People’s Protection Units (YPG), after reports that the Syrian Kurdish group made a deal with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) for the re-capture of Raqqa.

A former British soldier who fought against Islamic State in Syria has been arrested with his girlfriend and her mother on holiday in Turkey after being accused of posting pro-Kurdish propaganda on Facebook.
