US protects PKK terrorists near Turkey’s border

After Turkey’s airstrikes targeting Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) its Syrian-affiliate Democratic Union Party's (PYD) armed wing People Protection Units (YPG) on Sinjar Mountain in Iraq and Karachok Mountain in Syria, PKK and PYD members crossed into the region close to Turkey’s southern border under the protection of the U.S.

The terrorists kept watch on the border with U.S. troops on Friday night.

Photographs taken by Reuters opposite to Kızıltepe on the other side of the Turkish border show PKK and PYD terrorists beside an armored vehicle belonging to the U.S.

The pictured terrorists were wearing masks, and both the U.S. flag and the terrorist organizations flag can be seen.

Turkey increased its military shipments to the border region following its operations in Sinjar and Karachok.

A large number of military vehicles crossed the border, passing through Kilis.

Howitzers and rocket launchers sent to the region will be placed opposite to Afrin and other regions where terrorists are located.

Turkey will do what is necessary to counteract the Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) and its offshoots, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said.

“The fight against terrorism is not optional, it is a must for us. We will not tolerate terrorist organizations,” said Erdoğan.
