Reply to comment by RoaringSilence in Russian, Syrian, Turkish defence ministers meet in Moscow for first talks since 2011 by Saltedline

"Taking ethnic group out" lmfao. How come that Turkey is the biggest trading partner of the Kurdish regional government in north Iraq and why are there around 15-20 million Turkish citizens of Kurdish ethnicity/descent ? It wouldn't even be too far off to say that more Kurds live in Istanbul alone than in the entirety of North-East Syria. Something doesn't add up here, does it?

Because it's not about a whole ethnic group but specifically about the Syrian branch of a NATO-recognized terrorist organization, with US officials openly admitting to forcing the PKK to change their name to SDF/YPG so that the US can "legitimize" aiding an open Enemy of another NATO member.
