The United States pledged no longer to arm Kurdish militias

The United States has promised to stop supplying arms to the Kurdish police in Syria, Turkey has announced, urging the US to withdraw its troops from the city of Manbury who intend to attack, Reuters reports.

The offensive of Turkish forces to the Syrian province of Afrin in the north opened a new front in a seven-year war. Ankara believes that Kurdish militias are linked to the PKK terrorist organization. On the other hand, the Kurdish parties were a Western ally in the fight against the terrorist organization ISIS.

Turkish Cypriot President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced that Turkish forces will go to the city of Manby from the beginning of the offensive "Olive branch". According to Reuters, US security adviser told Erdogan's spokesman Ibrahim Kalin in a telephone conversation that the US will no longer deliver weapons to Kurdish militias.

"It is stressed that Turkey's concern for security is legitimate and that attention must be paid to it," it was said.
