WASHINGTON DC (Kurdistan 24) – The US State Department on Sunday warned Turkey against any military action in northeastern Syria after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan renewed threats of an imminent attack against Kurdish-controlled areas.

“Such unilateral military action into northeast Syria, particularly as US personnel may be present or in the vicinity, while our and local Syrian partner’s operations against ISIS holdouts are continuing, is of grave concern,” the State Department said in an exclusive statement to Kurdistan 24.
