Turkey accuses Kurdish fighters of ‘ethnic cleansing’ in Syria
‘Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has accused the Syrian Kurdish fighters of engaging in ethnic cleansing in northern Syria.
Cavusoglu told a news conference in the Turkish capital Ankara on Monday that fighters of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) and its affiliate Democratic Union Party (PYD) were attempting to put their own people in areas that had been released from Takfiri Daesh terrorists in the northern parts of Syria.
“Those people that were forced to leave these places should be placed back in these regions, they should live there, but that is not the YPG’s aim. The YPG is engaged in ethnic cleansing, they are placing who they want to in those places,” Cavusoglu said.’
