Speaking in front lawmakers at a meeting of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party last week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan commented on arms supplies to the YPG, questioning Washington’s true motives, and spoke of a US “plan in relation to Turkey.” 
According to Erdogan, the US broke a promise it made to Ankara to stop the flow of weapons to the YPG Kurdish militia following Daesh’s defeat in Syria, and has engaged in a buildup of its military presence in the region.
The president has stated that Turkey was monitoring the situation with the growing number of US military bases and “will act in accordance with the situation’s logic”.
