Turkey will destroy terror army

The Turkish president Erdogan has threatened that his country will nip a new 'terror army' in the bud.

The SDF is dominated by Kurdish fighters from northern Syria who call their own Unitary Defense Units (YPG) units. Erdogan regards the US-backed SDF as the YPG as an extension of the terrorist PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party).

The Washington-led coalition against the Sunni extremists of Islamic State (IS) is setting up a sort of border guards of 30,000 men. It must protect the areas that govern the coalition of the SDF in the north and northeast of Syria.
