Mattis: the US Is Forced to Cooperate with the YPG

CBS News

Washington is in only a "tactical" relationship with the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) militia, the U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told Turkish Defense Minister Fikri İsik in a letter, Hurriyet reports.

Mattis also stressed that weapons provided to the YPG militants will be taken back after the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is defeated.

The U.S. is in a "forced cooperation with the YPG on the ground in order to defeat ISIL in Syria," Defense Ministry sources quoted the U.S Defense Minister as saying in a letter sent to Işık last week.
