USA REJECT USE OF IKIRLIC AIRBASE TURKEY AND REJECT TURKEY PROPOSED AL QAEDA ANTI-YPG BUFFER ZONE IN NORTH SYRIA

Created by M.D. on August 05, 2015

Petition rejects use of Turkeys Ikirlic airbase. Turkeys proposed agreement to use their airbase would ban coalition forces from bombing ISIS in support of YPG Syrian Kurds fight against ISIS. We reject Turkeys conditions as circling the wagons to protect ISIS. YPG and their allies have been the only reliable force to fight ISIS. Entering an agreement to use Turkeys airbase will harm not help the war on ISIS and might harm the morale of YPG.

Reject Turkeys proposed so called "Safe zone" between Kobane and Afrin proposed by Turkey that bans YPG but would allow Turkeys Qaeda linked groups to operate and launch attacks on Afrin. We call on Obama to condemn Turkeys repeated threats to attack YPG if they refuse to fight Assads forces for Turkey.
