i don't think much of erdogan but absolutely love his move in this case dealing with the scumbag, bolton;
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a blunt put-down
Tuesday against White House national security advisor John Bolton over
his pledges to ensure Turkish nonaggression against Kurds who fought against the Islamic State in Syria.
"We cannot accept Bolton's messages given from Israel," the Turkish president said, adding that Bolton made a "serious mistake," Reuters reported.
He was referring to statements by the senior Trump administration official,
made from Israel over the weekend, promising safety for the U.S.-allied
Kurdish militias — who dominate areas in Northern Syria and whom the
Turks view as terrorists — in the event of a U.S. military withdrawal.
The militias, known as the
Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), are the armed wing of the
Democratic Union Party (PYD), an offshoot of the designated terrorist
group called the Kurdistan Workers Party, which has carried out a
decades-long insurgency against the Turkish state. They're also
America's primary partners on the ground in Syria: The Pentagon has been
supplying the YPG with weaponry, air support and training to battle IS
since 2015, and the militias have suffered thousands of casualties
fighting for the U.S.-led coalition...........https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/08/turkeys-erdogan-shuts-down-white-houses-bolton-on-syria.html
