Turkey vows to continue fight against Kurdish militia after Trump threat
ANKARA, Turkey, Jan 14, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Turkey on Monday vowed to continue
fighting a US-backed Kurdish militia which it views as a terrorist group
after Donald Trump warned of economic devastation if Turkey attacks Kurdish
forces as American troops withdraw.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said on
Twitter that there was “no difference” between the Islamic State extremist
group and the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) militia. “We will
continue to fight against them all.”
