"Americans don't really know what the YPG and other groups of Kurds are," Erdogan said. If the United States considers the Kurds to be their brothers, they are living under a grave delusion.'

According to the news, John Bolton is visiting Turkey to ensure the safety of the Kurdish fighters who continue to fight with the Islamic State (IS) in the northern part of Syria.

It is said that during his visit to Israel and Turkey last week, John Bolton included two conditions for the withdrawal of US troops from Syria. US troops will remain in Syria until ISIS is eliminated. Turkey must also guarantee not to attack US-allied Kurdish forces.
