The United States continues to maintain open communication channels with Turkey regarding the situation in Syria. This was stated by the official representative of the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) Patrick Ryder, answering the question of an Anadola correspondent about the US position regarding the protests of the local Arab population against the YPG terrorist groups (the Syrian wing of the RSC) in a number of Syria regions and the tied threat to the American Forces.
“We admit that the situation in Syria is currently unstable. The US Armed Forces for many years are closely cooperating with the SDS [” Syrian Demsil “, the backbone is made up of the YPG /PKK terrorists] as part of the defeat of the defeat of the deaash, in particular after Assad’s overthrow, and this remains in the center of our attention, ”said Ryder.
The Pentagon representative indicated that he did not plan to relate to the theme of the internal policy of Syria.
“I will not talk on behalf of the SDS or about what the locals can or cannot say,” he said.
Answering a correspondent’s question about why the United States does not cooperate in the fight against the DeASH terrorist organization with its NATO ally, Turkey, Ryder said that the Pentagon supports “open communication channels” with this country.
“Turkey is a very valuable NATO ally, we continue to maintain open communication channels regarding the situation in Syria and regional security interests, including deesh,” he said.
Ryder noted that the United States is not going to announce changes in its position in the region or in the approach to the defeat of the defeat of deaash.
“We consult with our Turkish colleagues and other countries of the region on problems related to Deash and SDS,” he said.
According to the representative of the Pentagon, everyone in the region is interested in preventing the revival of the Feash terrorist organization, and the elements of the RSC/YPG “continue to be an important partner” in this regard.
In response to the question of the US position regarding negotiations about the ceasefire between the elements of the Red Army/YPG terrorist organization and other parties in the Ainylrab (Kobani) area near the border with Turkey, Ryder said that the United States is only closely monitoring the development of events for this question.
