The President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, today called on the official Washington to choose between his country and the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) as a partner.
"How can we trust you? Am I your partner or are they terrorists in Kobani?" Erdogan said, as reported by the AP agency.
This statement came after US President Barack Obama visited a city in the north of Syria a week ago, which is under the control of the Syrian Kurdish forces, which the official Ankara considers terrorists.
In addition, President Barack Obama's special envoy for the coalition against the Islamic State, Brett McGurk, visited Kobani on February 1, a city that the PYD's military wing liberated from jihadists a year ago with the support of US military strikes.
Turkey considers the PYD a terrorist group because of their ties to Turkey's Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is outlawed in Turkey.
